Robust generation of entanglement between two cavities mediated by short interactions with an atom

Dan E. Browne, Martin Bodo Plenio

Published Jan 31, 2003• 55 citations

Abstract

Current methods of preparing maximally entangled states in the laboratory need an extremely accurate control of interaction times, requiring sophisticated experimental techniques. Here, we show that such precise control is not necessary when one utilizes short or weak interactions followed by measurements. We present a scheme for the probabilistic generation of Bell states in a pair of cavities, after each has interacted briefly with an atom. The advantage of the scheme, as compared to present schemes, is its low sensitivity to the exact values of experimental parameters such as atomic velocity and coupling strength, in fact, for a large range of parameters, the fidelity of the Bell states generated remains close to unity.

A Cavity-QED Scheme for Generating Long-Lived Maximally Entangled States

We propose a potentially practical scheme to generate two-atom maximally entangled states by the large-detuning interaction between two three-level Λ-type atoms and coherent optical fields. Conditioned on the results of detecting cavity field, four pairs of atomic maximally entangled states with unity fidelity and high successful probability can be prepared. We also investigate the influence of the cavity dissipation on the generated entangled states and discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme.

Preparation of Entangled Atomic States Through Resonant Atom-Field Interaction

Chen Mei-Feng

A scheme is proposed for the generation of two-atom maximally entangled states and multi-atom maximally entangled states of W class. The scheme is based on the simultaneous resonant interaction of atoms with a single-mode cavity field. It does not require accurate adjustment of the interaction time. The time needed to complete the generation does not increase with the number of the atom.

Robust Creation of Entanglement between Ions in Spatially Separate Cavities

Dan E. Browne, Martin Bodo Plenio, Susana F. Huelga

We present a protocol that allows the generation of a maximally entangled state between individual atoms held in spatially separate cavities. Assuming perfect detectors and neglecting spontaneous emission from the atoms, the resulting idealized scheme is deterministic. Under more realistic conditions, when the atom-cavity interaction departs from the strong coupling regime, and considering imperfect detectors, we show that the scheme is robust against experimental inefficiencies and yields probabilistic entanglement of very high fidelity.

Scheme for entanglement generation in an atom-cavity system via dissipation

Shi‐Lei Su, Xiao‐Qiang Shao, Hong‐Fu Wang +1 more

We propose a dissipative scheme to generate a maximally entangled state for two $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type atoms trapped in an optical cavity. Different from the unitary-dynamics-based scheme, our work shows that both atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay are no longer detrimental, but necessary for entanglement generation. The scheme is independent of initial states and does not require precise time control. A final numerical simulation with two groups of experimental parameters indicates that the present scheme is feasible and the performance could be better than the unitary-dynamics-based scheme.

Efficient generation of distant atom entanglement via cavity decay

Grzegorz Chimczak

We show how the entanglement of two atoms, trapped in distant separate cavities, can be generated with arbitrarily high probability of success. The scheme proposed employs sudden excitation of the atoms proving that the weakly driven condition is not necessary to obtain the success rate close to unity. The modified scheme works properly even if each cavity contains many atoms interacting with the cavity modes. We also show that our method is robust against spontaneous atomic decay.

We present protocol that allows the generation of a maximally entangled state between individual atoms held in spatially separate cavities. Under ideal conditions, the scheme is deterministic. In a realistic setting, when the the atom-cavity interaction may be weak, and the detectors are imperfect, we show that the scheme is robust against experimental inefficiencies and yields probabilistic entanglement of very high fidelity.
