Simultaneous Excitation of Two Atoms with a Single Photon

Luigi Garziano, Roberto Stassi, Vincenzo Macrí +3 more

We consider two separate atoms interacting with a single-mode optical resonator. When the frequency of the resonator field is twice the atomic transition frequency, we show that there exists a resonant coupling between one photon and two atoms, via intermediate virtual states connected by counter-rotating processes. If the resonator is prepared in its one-photon state, the photon can be jointly absorbed by the two atoms in their ground state which will both reach their excited state with probability close to one. Like ordinary quantum Rabi oscillations, this process is coherent and reversible, so that two atoms in their excited state will undergo a downward transition jointly emitting a single cavity photon. This joint absorption and emission processes can also occur with three atoms. The parameters used to investigate this process correspond to experimentally demonstrated values in circuit quantum electrodynamics systems.

We consider two separate atoms interacting with a single-mode optical or microwave resonator. When the frequency of the resonator field is twice the atomic transition frequency, we show that there exists a resonant coupling between one photon and two atoms, via intermediate virtual states connected by counterrotating processes. If the resonator is prepared in its one-photon state, the photon can be jointly absorbed by the two atoms in their ground state which will both reach their excited state with a probability close to one.

Line shape, frequency shift, Rabi splitting, and two-photon resonances in four-level double-resonance spectroscopy with closely spaced intermediate levels

Swapan Kumar Mandal, Pradip Narayan Ghosh

The interaction of a four-level atomic system with two electromagnetic radiations has been studied. The two intermediate levels are closely spaced such that a single radiation frequency can induce transitions from the ground state to both of them. In a cascade-type double resonance, the pump electric-field amplitude is much stronger than the amplitude of the signal field, which can induce transitions from both of the intermediate levels to the upper state. The 15 optical Bloch equations obtained from the Liouville equations are solved analytically to obtain the Doppler-free signal line shape. The computed signals, exhibiting two Lorentzian line profiles, are presented for different pump frequencies. In addition to these one-photon transitions, we obtain a weak two-photon resonance peak. The two-photon resonance becomes weaker when the detuning of the pump frequency from a resonance frequency is increased. When the pump frequency ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathit{p}}$ is intermediate between the pump resonance frequencies ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\omega}}}_{1}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\omega}}}_{2}$, the two-photon resonance is very weak and almost vanishes when ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathit{p}}$=(${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\omega}}}_{1}$+${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\omega}}}_{2}$)/2. When the pump frequency is on resonance with one of the transition frequencies, the Rabi splitting of the signal shows asymmetry because of the presence of a close-lying transition which is pumped off resonance. The intensity-dependent shifts of the transitions are such that they repel each other more and more as the intensity of the pump field is increased. These shifts arise from the nonresonant interaction between the atom and the field.
