Abstract

Abstract Parametric squeezing provides a route to enhancing virtual-photon-mediated interactions, but single-sided squeezing also breaks the symmetry between spatially separated quantum nodes and generates anomalous interaction channels. We study coherent excitation exchange between two atoms hosted in tunnel-coupled cavities, with a degenerate parametric drive applied to only one cavity. After an exact Bogoliubov transformation, both the local atom–cavity coupling and the intercavity tunneling are enhanced, leading to an effective exchange interaction that approximately follows a cosh 2 ⁡ r scaling. The same asymmetric driving produces unequal dispersive shifts of the two atomic branches, while the anomalous Bogoliubov channels introduce an additional Bloch–Siegert-type correction to the resonance condition. After compensating these shifts, squeezing substantially accelerates the interatomic exchange while preserving near-unit population transfer in coherent closed-system dynamics. These results demonstrate a controllable route to accelerating virtual exchange between spatially separated cavity-quantum electrodynamics nodes and clarify the roles of asymmetric dispersive shifts and anomalous Bogoliubov channels in the squeezing-enhanced dynamics.

Research of radiation characteristics in a parametrically driven cavity

Xue SHANG, Binfang Cao, Guo Miaodi +2 more

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) serves as a fundamental platform for studying light-matter interactions at a single-particle level and has been extensively investigated in fundamental physics and quantum information. Recent development of parametrically squeezed techniques has demonstrated that they have the remarkable ability to exponentially enhance coherent atom-cavity coupling. However, the full extent to which these techniques can manipulate quantum optical phenomena requires further exploration. This work systematically investigates the influence of optical parametric amplification on single-photon excited atom-cavity systems within a parametrically driven cavity. In the proposed model, optical parametric amplification converts the driving photons into a squeezed cavity mode, which enhances the atom-cavity interaction into the strong coupling region. Through analytical derivation of atomic and cavity radiation spectra, we demonstrate that the optical parametric amplification induces splitting of atomic radiation spectra while exerting negligible effects on spectral intensity. Conversely, the cavity transmission spectrum exhibits both pronounced splitting and nonlinear intensity amplification. Notably, as driving field intensity approaches a critical intensity regime, the cavity radiation spectrum intensity is significantly enhanced. The underlying mechanism is parametric driving amplification, which converts the driving light into a squeezed cavity mode. When this squeezed mode is mapped back to the fundamental mode of the cavity through Bogoliubov squeezing transformation, the pump photons within the squeezed cavity mode are converted into the photons that contribute to the radiation spectrum of the cavity, thereby amplifying its intensity. This parametric enhancement method not only deepens the basic understanding of light-matter interactions, but also establishes a practical framework for improving the single-photon detection sensitivity in cavity-based quantum systems. These findings have broad prospects for quantum sensing and information processing applications.

Manipulation of the asymmetric Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering via coherent population transfer

Jingyan Li, Quan Chen

Abstract We investigate the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering of two cavity modes generated via four-wave mixing processes. For a three-level V-type configuration, a strong coherent field as a dressing field couples the atoms, and a weak coherent field as a control filed resonantly couples one dressed state to the auxiliary state. By using the approach of dressed states and Bogoliubov modes, we find that only one Bogoliubov mode is mediated into the interaction with the dressed atoms, and the other one is decoupled. Due to the presence of the coherent control filed, the channel for dressed state population transfer is established, which plays a key role in the generation of the asymmetric EPR steering of two cavity fields. It is shown that the one-way EPR steering can be manipulated by the Rabi frequencies of the control field and the cooperativity parameters.

Enhancing strength and range of atom-atom interaction in a coupled-cavity array via parametric drives

Ya-long Ren, Sheng-li Ma, Stefano Zippilli +2 more

Coherent long-range interactions between atoms are a prerequisite for numerous applications in the field of quantum information science. Here we present an appealing method to dramatically enhance the long-range atom-atom interaction mediated by a coupled-cavity array that is subjected to two-photon (parametric) drives. Our method allows one to greatly amplify both the localization length of the single-photon bound-state wave function and the effective atom-photon coupling strength, resulting in a significant improvement of photon-mediated coherent interaction between two distant atoms. Additionally, we illustrate this effect by analyzing how it facilitates the transfer of information and the creation of entanglement between the atoms.

Transfer of spin squeezing and particle entanglement between atoms and photons in coupled cavities via two-photon exchange

Ali Ü. C. Hardal, Özgür Esat Müstecaplıoğlu

We examine transfer of particle entanglement and spin squeezing between atomic and photonic subsystems in optical cavities coupled by two-photon exchange. Each cavity contains a single atom, interacting with cavity photons with a two-photon cascade transition. Particle entanglement is characterized by evaluating optimal spin squeezing inequalities for the cases of initially separable and entangled two-photon states. It is found that particle entanglement is first generated among the photons in separate cavities and then transferred to the atoms. The underlying mechanism is recognized as an intercavity two-axis twisting spin squeezing interaction, induced by two-photon exchange, and its optimal combination with the intracavity atom–photon coupling. Relative effect of nonlocal two-photon exchange and local atom–photon interactions of cavity photons on the spin squeezing and entanglement transfer is pointed out.

Parametric Interaction-Induced Asymmetric Behaviors in a Coupled-Cavities Quantum Electrodynamics System

Xu Ma, Dexi Guo, Chengjie Zhu +1 more

We investigate a quantum electrodynamics system consisting of two coupled single-mode cavities. The left cavity couples with a two-level atom, while the right cavity incorporates a second-order nonlinear medium, activated by a pumping field. In the absence of nonlinear medium, we show that the transmitted field intensity reveals only classical asymmetric behavior at the central frequency. However, the parametric interaction induced by the nonlinear medium leads to various quantum asymmetric behaviors at single photon excitation frequencies, including the squeezing, quantum statistics, and phase-space characteristics of the transmitted photons. These asymmetric behaviors arise from additional excitation pathways enabled by the parametric interaction-induced two-photon processes. We demonstrate these asymmetric behaviors through Klyshko’s figures of merit, the Wigner function, and the steady-state second-order correlation function of the transmitted photons. These results present promising applications for remote quantum-state manipulation and contribute significantly to the advancement of quantum networking.
