Efficient Scheme for the Generation of Atomic Schr?dinger Cat States in an Optical Cavity
Zheng Zheng, Shi-Biao
Abstract
An efficient scheme is proposed for the generation of atomic Schrodinger cat states in an optical cavity. Inthe scheme N three-level atoms are loaded in the optical cavity. Raman coupling of two ground states is achieved via alaser field and the cavity mode. The cavity mode is always in the vacuum state and the atoms have no probability ofbeing populated in the excited state. Thus, the scheme is insensitive to both the cavity decay and spontaneous emission. Keywords:atomic Schrodinger cat state, optical cavity, three-level atom
