Abstract

We propose an efficient scheme to engineer multiatom entanglement by detecting cavity decay through single-photon detectors. In the special case of two atoms, this scheme is much more efficient than previous probabilistic schemes, and insensitive to randomness in the atom's position. More generally, the scheme can be used to prepare arbitrary superpositions of multiatom Dicke states without the requirements of high-efficiency detection and separate addressing of different atoms.

A scheme for preparation of multi-atom entanglement by detecting the cavity decay and analysis of its implementation

L.-M. Duan, Harry J. Kimble

We give the detailed study of a scheme to efficiently engineer multi-atom entanglement by detecting the cavity decay through single-photon detectors. The scheme can be used to prepare arbitrary superpositions of multi-atom Dicke states, without the requirements of high-efficiency detection, separate addressing of different atoms, and full localization of the atoms to the Lamb-Dicke limit. We analyze in detail various sources of noise and imperfections in this experimental scheme, and show that the scheme is robust to the dominant sources of noise and realizable with the state of the art technology.

Engineering Multi-atom Entangled States via Cavity Decay

Zheng Shi-Biao

A scheme is proposed for the generation of entangled states for multiple atoms trapped in a cavity by detecting photon decay. The scheme is valid no matter when the effective atom-cavity coupling strength is larger than the cavity decay rate or not, which is of importance in view of experiment. The fidelity of entanglement is insensitive to the inefficiency of the photo-detector. The scheme does not require a photon to be initially injected into the cavity.

The generation of multi-atom entanglement via the detection of cavity decay

Boyang Yu, Zhi‐Yuan Zhou, Guang-Can Guo

We propose a scheme to generate entangled states of multi-Λ-type three-level atoms in a cavity. It is shown how multi-atom Dicke states can be prepared simply by detecting the photon decays from the cavity. The analytic form of the approximate efficiency of the scheme is obtained. With this analytic form investigated, we provide an active way to achieve high efficiency.

Creating quantum entanglement between multi-atom Dicke states and two cavity modes

Xu‐Bo Zou, Wolfgang M. Mathis

We present a scheme to create quantum entanglement between multi-atom Dicke states and two cavity modes by passing N three-level atoms in Λ configuration through a resonant two-mode cavity one by one. We further show that such a scheme can be used to generate arbitrary two-mode N-photon entangled states, arbitrary superposition of Dicke states, and a maximal entangled state of Dicke states. These states may find applications in the demonstration of quantum non-locality, high-precision spectroscopy and quantum information processing.
