Simple quantum systems as a source of coherent information

Abstract

The coherent information concept is used to analyze a variety of simple quantum systems. Coherent information was calculated for the information decay in a two-level atom in the presence of an external resonant field, for the information exchange between two coupled two-level atoms, and for the information transfer from a two-level atom to another atom and to a photon field. The coherent information is shown to be equal to zero for all full-measurement procedures, but it completely retains its original value for quantum duplication. Transmission of information from one open subsystem to another one in the entire closed system is analyzed to learn quantum information about the forbidden atomic transition via a dipole active transition of the same atom. It is argued that coherent information can be used effectively to quantify the information channels in physical systems where quantum coherence plays an important role.

Simple quantum systems as a source of coherent information

B. A. Grishanin, Victor N. Zadkov

A set of very important simple quantum systems is analyzed from the standpoint of the amount of coherent information that is accessible when information channels corresponding to the systems are used. It is shown that for simple quantum models the coherent information can be calculated and used for estimating the potential possibilities of the corresponding quantum channel as a source of physical information in experiments associated with the effects of the coherence of quantum states. The following physical models are studied: a two-level atom in a laser radiation field, an aggregate of two two-level subsystems in a multilevel atom (hydrogen), a system of two two-level atoms in the process of joint quantum-deterministic evolution and under the action of transformations of quantum measurement and quantum duplication, as well as one and two two-level atoms in the process of emission.

Coherent and compatible information: a basis for information analysis of quantum systems

B. A. Grishanin, Victor N. Zadkov

Relevance of key quantum information measures for analysis of quantum systems is discussed. It is argued that possible ways of measuring quantum information are based on compatibility/incompatibility of the quantum states of a quantum system, resulting in the coherent information and introduced her the compatible information measures, respectively. A sketch of an information optimization of a quantum experimental setup is proposed.

Cooperative effects between three subsystems in two-photon and Raman resonances

N. A. Enaki, Tudor Roşca

The two-photon and scattering resonances between the spontaneous emissions of the two- and single- photon transitions of the three-level inverted radiators in the Ξ, V configurations and the system of two-level radiators D, inverted relatively the dipole forbidden transition are revised. This approach opens the new possibilities in the manipulation of the decay process and generation of the entangled photon pairs. The correlation between the V and Ξ cascade three-level subsystems on the two-photon transitions of dipole forbidden radiators is studied, taking into consideration the cooperative scattering and two photon resonances through the vacuum field. One of them corresponds to the situation when the total energy of emitted photons by three level dipole-active radiator in the cascade configuration enters into the two-photon resonance with the dipole-forbidden transitions of second atom. Another effect corresponds to the scattering situation, when the difference of the excited energies of the two dipole-active transitions of V three level radiator are in the resonance with the dipole-forbidden transitions of the second one. These effects are accompanied with the interferences between single- and two-quantum collective transitions of the inverted radiators from the ensemble. The two particle collective decay rate is defined in the description of the atomic correlation functions.

Raman-induced transfer of optical vortices

Linjie Ding, Fei Wang, Fanggui Hu

Abstract We explore the concept that the Raman process can be used as an effective way for transfer of optical vortices. In a four-level atomic system, two strong fields are applied to form a Λ-type subsystem while two probe fields couple to the other cascade transitions. It is found that the optical vortex of a control field can be transferred to a generated probe beam based on four-wave mixing processes, wherein the one-photon detuning plays an important role in minimizing the losses. On the other hand, when the control fields have no vortices, the transfer is realized between two probe beams for intermediate values of atomic coherence induced by the Raman process, vanishing both for the minimal value 0 and for the maximal values ±0.5. We have also analyzed the spatial structures of the propagating probe beams with optical vortices at the entrance, displaying that the information of winding numbers is hidden behind the intensity distributions and corresponding phase patterns. This may find potential applications in quantum information storage.

On coherent quantum information

Pim Tuyls

This paper analyzes rigorously the coherent quantum information, which plays an important role in quantum information processing (quantum data processing inequality) and in quantum cryptography. We give a very brief and elegant proof for the quantum data processing inequality. We show however that the quantity is not positive in general, but positivity can be shown for pure state systems and also for classical systems. Finally, we prove that the quantity is continuous in the quantum operations.
