Abstract

We study the possible limitations and sources of decoherence in the scheme for the deterministic generation of polarization-entangled photons, recently proposed by Gheri et al. [K. M. Gheri et al., Phys. Rev. A 58, R2627 (1998)], based on an appropriately driven single atom trapped within an optical cavity. We consider in particular the effects of laser intensity fluctuations, photon losses, and atomic motion.

Generation of entangled photon pairs in optical cavity-QED: operating in the bad cavity limit

R. García-Maraver, K. Eckert, R. Corbalán +1 more

We propose an optical cavity-QED scheme for the deterministic generation of polarization entangled photon pairs that operates with high fidelity even in the bad cavity limit. The scheme is based on the interaction of an excited four-level atom with two empty optical cavity modes via an adiabatic passage process. Monte-Carlo wave function simulations are used to evaluate the fidelity of the cavity-QED source and its entanglement capability in the presence of decoherence. In the bad cavity limit, fidelities close to one are predicted for state-of-the-art experimental parameter values.

Controlled source of entangled photonic qubits

C. Saavedra, Klaus M. Gheri, Päivi Törmä +2 more

We consider a general proposal for generating a train of entangled single-photon wavepackets. The photons are created inside a resonator via an interaction with an active medium. In the course of the generation process photons are transferred to the continuum outside the resonator through cavity loss. We show that wave packets generated in this way can be regarded as independent logical qubits. This and the possibility of producing strong entanglement between the qubits suggests many applications in quantum communication. We give a specific example in the context of cavity QED and show that undesired decoherence effects can be efficiently reduced in the considered scheme.

Optical Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics: A Toolbox for Deterministic Quantum Information Science with Stationary Atoms and Flying Photons

Gerhard Rempe, M. Hijlkema, Axel Kuhn +4 more

We review recent experiments with single atoms strongly coupled to high-finesse optical cavities, highlighting deterministic schemes for the production of polarized single photons, the generation of an entanglement between a stationary atom and a flying photon, the mapping of a quantum state from an atom onto a photon, the emission of an entangled photon pair, and the generation of an up-to-half-a-minute long stream of single photons from one-and-the-same atom.

Deterministic Single-Photon Source for Distributed Quantum Networking

Axel Kuhn, Markus Hennrich, Gerhard Rempe

A sequence of single photons is emitted on demand from a single three-level atom strongly coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity. The photons are generated by an adiabatically driven stimulated Raman transition between two atomic ground states, with the vacuum field of the cavity stimulating one branch of the transition, and laser pulses deterministically driving the other branch. This process is unitary and therefore intrinsically reversible, which is essential for quantum communication and networking, and the photons should be appropriate for all-optical quantum information processing.
