Abstract

We propose a scheme to obtain soliton atom laser with nonclassical atoms based on quantum state transfer process from light to matter waves in nonlinear case, which may find novel applications in, e.g., an atom interferometer. The dynamics of the atomic gray solitons and the accompanied frequency chirp effect are discussed.

Soliton Atom Laser via Quantum State Transfer Process

Xiong-Jun Liu, Hui Jing, Mo‐Lin Ge

We theoretically examine quantum state transfer from light to an interacting atomic beam, focusing on generation of soliton atom laser in the output state. This problem is an extension of the Fleischhauer-Gong scheme [M. Fleischhauer and S. Gong, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 070404 (2002)] by including the role of nonlinear atomic interactions. The transfer process of quantum state is, however, from photons to created atomic gray-soliton whose dynamics is free of the accompanied frequency chirp effect, indicating a novel scheme for soliton atom laser with nonclassical state.

Soliton Atom Laser with Quantum State Transfer Property

Xiong-Jun Liu, Jing Hui, Mo‐Lin Ge

We study the nonlinear effects in the quantum states transfer technique from photons to matter waves in the three-level case, which may provide the formation of a soliton atom laser with nonclassical atoms. The validity of quantum transfer mechanism is confirmed in the presence of the intrinsic nonlinear atomic interactions. The accompanied frequency chirp effect is shown to have no influence on the grey solitons formed by the output atom laser and the possible quantum depletion effect is also briefly discussed.

Nonlinear Atomic-Optics and Generation of Two-Component Entangled Atom Lasers via Quantum State Transfer Technique

Xiong-Jun Liu, Hui Jing, Xin Liu +2 more

Two-component entangled atom laser is obtained via quantum state transfer technique from lights to matter waves in a five-level $M$-type system. The considered atom-atom collisions can yield an effective Kerr susceptibility for this system and lead to the self- and cross- phase modulation between the two output atom lasers. This effect results in generation of entangled states of output atom lasers. Particularly, a potential application for a quantum phase gate between two individual atom lasers can be demonstrated for the case that the input quantized probe lights are both in the single-photon state.

Quantum State Transfer through Coherent Atom-Molecule Conversion in Bose-Einstein Condensate

Subhrajit Modak, Priyam Das, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi

We demonstrate complete quantum state transfer of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate to molecular condensate, mediated by solitonic excitations in a cigar shaped mean-field geometry. Starting with a localized solitonic atomic condensate, we show compatible gray solitonic configuration in the molecular condensate, which results in complete atom-molecule conversion. The effect of inter and intra-species interactions on the formation of molecular condensate is explicated in the presence of Raman Photoassociation. It is found that photoassociation plays a crucial role in the coherent atom-molecule conversion as well as in the soliton dynamics. The gray soliton dispersion reveals bistable behaviour, showing a re-entrant phase in a physically accessible parametric domain.

Novel solitons in parametric amplifiers and atom lasers

P. D. Drummond, Karen V. Kheruntsyan, Hao He

We review recent developments in quantum and classical soliton theory, leading to the possibility of observing both classical and quantum parametric solitons in higher-dimensional environments. In particular, we consider the theory of three bosonic fields interacting via both parametric (cubic) and quartic couplings. In the case of photonic fields in a nonlinear optical medium this corresponds to the process of sum frequency generation (via (2) nonlinearity) modified by the (3) nonlinearity. Potential applications include an ultrafast photonic AND-gate. The simplest quantum solitons or energy eigenstates (bound-state solutions) of the interacting field Hamiltonian are obtained exactly in three space dimensions. They have a point-like structure - even though the corresponding classical theory is nonsingular. We show that the solutions can be regularized with the imposition of a momentum cut-off on the nonlinear couplings. The case of three-dimensional matter-wave solitons in coupled atomic/molecular Bose-Einstein condensates is discussed.

Atomic soliton lasers and potential applications

Humberto Michinel, María Martínez Valado, Alicia V. Carpentier

Atomic soliton lasers are coherent matter-wave emitters that produce localized pulses of atoms that are extracted from an ultracold atomic reservoir. In adequate conditions it is possible to obtain matter-wave soliton trains that propagate undistorted, a property that makes them very useful for ultra-sensitive measurements like gravity-waves detection or atomic interferometry. Some new applications and results will we presented.
