Entanglement between collective fields via phase-dependent electromagnetically induced transparency

We show that it is possible to obtain continuous variable entanglement for four optical fields via phase-dependent electromagnetically induced transparency in a four-level system in double-$\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ configuration. Due to quantum interference, the four fields constitute two quantum beats, behave as a pair of collective modes, and experience high cross Kerr nonlinearities. As a result, entanglement occurs between the two collective modes and between any two individual fields from the different collective modes.
