Simulation of quantum jump in three-level atoms using photons

Abstract

We simulate experimentally a three-level system (cascade, Λ, V ) under quan-tum jump using a three-mode photonic system. A spatial light modulator is programmed for implementing the Kraus operators for quantum jumps.

Quantum jumps in atomic systems

P. Zoller, Monika A. M. Marte, Daniel F. Walls

We present a microscopic model for the so-called quantum jumps in three-level atoms with one transition between two levels being strongly driven and the third level being metastable. Our model is based on calculating the elementary probability density P(0,t)(t1, … , t n ) which gives the probability density that exactly n photons are emitted at times t1, … , t n by the atom in the time interval (0, t) on the strong transition. This enables us to calculate the conditional probabilities c ˜ ( τ ) that given a photon has emitted at τ = 0 the next photon emission occurs at time τ. This quantity is shown to be the sum of two exponentials which for sufficient differetial in the time scales describe the periods of light and darkness. Using this conditional probability it is possible to numerically simulate the individual photon emissions.

Photonic discrete-time quantum walks using spatial light modulators

Graciana Puentes, Leonardo Neves

We report a novel scheme for photonic discrete-time quantum walks, using transverse spatial modes of photons and programmable spatial light modulators (SLM). Our scheme enables simulation of arbitrary steps, only limited by the SLM resolution.

Cooperative quantum jumps with two atoms

Maciej Lewenstein, Juha Javanainen

Quantum jumps in the fluorescence from two three-level atoms may display cooperative effects, such as unusual intensity levels and transitions from a state with both atoms radiating directly to darkness. However, to see these experimentally, the atoms have to be well within a wavelength of light.

We experimentally demonstrate linear, deterministic, single-photon three-qubit quantum gates implemented by a polarization-sensitive spatial light modulator and using polarization and spatial-parity qubits. We also prepare single-photon three-qubit GHZ and W states and present tomographic measurements.
