Entanglement in resonant photon scattering

Rui Guo, Hong Mei Guo

Published Sep 1, 2005• 0 citations

Abstract

Single--photon which is initially uncorrelated with atom, will evolve to be entangled with the atom on their continuous kinetic variables in the process of resonant scattering. We find the relations between the entanglement and their physical control parameters, which indicates that high entanglement can be reached by broadening the scale of the atomic wave or squeezing the linewidth of the incident single--photon pulse.

Entanglement of a scattered single photon with an atom

A single photon which is initially uncorrelated with an atom will evolve to be entangled with the atom on their continuous kinetic variables in the process of resonant scattering. We find the relations between the entanglement and their physical control parameters, which indicates that high entanglement can be reached by broadening the scale of the atomic wave or squeezing the linewidth of the incident single-photon pulse.

Entanglement of a Scattered Single Photon and an Exciton

Nguyen Duc Giang, Trần Thị Thanh Vân, Van Thanh Ngo +1 more

A single photon which is initially uncorrelated with an exciton will evolve to be entangled with the exciton on their continuous kinetic variables in the process of resonant scattering. We find the relations between the entanglement and their physical control parameters, which indicates that high entanglement can be reached by changing specific parameters of exciton.

Enhancement of motional entanglement of cold atoms by pairwise scattering of photons

Rui Guo, Xiaoji Zhou, Xuzong Chen

The mechanism of pairwise scattering of photons with cold atoms is investigated. We show that considerable motional correlation can be established between atoms during the scattering process, which can effectively squeeze the scattering spectrum and can be utilized to produce highly entangled atomic wave packet. Under certain conditions, the atomic momentum entanglement can be efficiently enhanced beyond the 1 entanglement bit limit (known as $1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{ebit}$, e.g., a Bell singlet state) with only single-photon scattering and detection.

Quantum theory of Rayleigh scattering

A. P. Vinogradov, Vladislav Yu. Shishkov, I. V. Doronin +3 more

We suggest a quantum description of Rayleigh light scattering on atoms. We show that an entangled state of the excited atom and the incident photon is formed during the scattering. Due to entanglement, a photon is never completely absorbed by the atom. The formation of the scattering spectrum is considered as a relaxation of incident photons to the reservoir of free space modes that are in thermal equilibrium. Additional excitations of the reservoir modes occurring during scattering are treated as scattered light. We show that even if the frequency of incident photons is incommensurate with an atomic transition frequency, the scattered light spectrum has a maximum at the frequency of incident photons. In addition, the linewidth of the scattered light is much smaller than that of the spontaneous emission of a single atom. Therefore, the process can be considered as elastic.

Entangled Light Pulses from Single Cold Atoms

Giovanna Morigi, Jürgen Eschner, Stefano Mancini +1 more

The coherent interaction between a laser-driven single trapped atom and an optical high-finesse resonator allows one to produce entangled multiphoton light pulses on demand. The mechanism is based on the mechanical effect of light. The degree of entanglement can be controlled through the parameters of the laser excitation. Experimental realization of the scheme is within reach of current technology. A variation of the technique allows for controlled generation of entangled subsequent pulses, with the atomic motion serving as intermediate memory of the quantum state.

Atomic coherence control on the entanglement of two atoms in two-photon processes

Yao-Hua Hu, Fang Mao-Fa, Qin Wu

Considering two identical two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode thermal field through two-photon processes, this paper studies the atomic coherence control on the entanglement between two two-level atoms, and finds that the entanglement is greatly enhanced due to the initial atomic coherence. The results show that the entanglement can be manipulated by changing the initial parameters of the system, such as the superposition coefficients and the relative phases of the initial atomic coherent state and the mean photon number of the cavity field.
