Generating Controllable Atom-Light Entanglement with a Raman Atom Laser System

Abstract

We introduce a scheme for creating continuous variable entanglement between an atomic beam and an optical field, by using squeezed light to outcouple atoms from a Bose-Einstein condensate via a Raman transition. We model the full multimode dynamics of the atom laser beam and the squeezed optical field and show that, with appropriate two-photon detuning and two-photon Rabi frequency, the transmitted light is entangled in amplitude and phase with the outcoupled atom laser beam. The degree of entanglement is controllable via changes in the two-photon Rabi frequency of the outcoupling process.

Outcoupling from a Bose-Einstein condensate with squeezed light to produce entangled-atom laser beams

Simon A. Haine, J. J. Hope

We examine the properties of an atom laser produced by outcoupling from a Bose-Einstein condensate with squeezed light. We model the multimode dynamics of the output field and show that a significant amount of squeezing can be transferred from an optical mode to a propagating atom laser beam. We use this to demonstrate that two-mode squeezing can be used to produce twin atom laser beams with continuous variable entanglement in amplitude and phase.

Model of the atom laser with Raman outcoupling

Chasib A. Emshary, Shaker I. Esa, Arafat J. Almanea

In the present paper, the authors start from the interaction of a system of two-level atoms with an electromagnetic field to drive the interaction Hamiltonian between these two-level atoms. Second, introduce the equations of motion which describing the dynamics of atom laser depending on the interaction Hamiltonian, this interaction Hamiltonian will be used to describe the outcoupling process in a Raman atom laser. Also, the authors model the dynamics of an atom laser produced by outcoupling three-level atoms from a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) via a Raman transition and investigate the transfer of quantum statistics from one of the optical modes to the atomic field. Finally, the authors mathematical treatment leads to the same as equations appears in literature which allowed obtaining the dynamics for any atom laser systems.

A multi-mode model of a non-classical atom laser produced by outcoupling from a Bose-Einstein condensate with squeezed light

Simon A. Haine, J. J. Hope

We examine the properties of an atom laser produced by outcoupling from a Bose-Einstein condensate with squeezed light. We introduce a method which allows us to model the full multimode dynamics of the squeezed optical field and the outcoupled atoms. We show that for experimentally reasonable parameters that the quantum statistics of the optical field are almost completely transferred to the outcoupled atoms, and investigate the robustness to the coupling strength and the two-photon detuning.

Spatially Separated and Correlated Atom-molecule Lasers from a Bose Condensate

Hui Jing, Wei Hua Cai, Jingjun Xu +1 more

We propose a feasible scheme to create two spatially separated atomic and molecular beams from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate by combining the Raman-type atom laser output and the two-color photo-association processes. We examine the quantum dynamics and statistical properties of the system under short-time limits, especially the quadrature-squeezed and mode-correlated behaviors of two output beams for different initial state of the condensate. The possibility to generate the entangled atom-molecule lasers by an optical technique was also discussed.

Entangled light from Bose-Einstein condensates

Ng, HT, Sougato Bose

We propose a method to generate entangled light with a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a cavity, a system realized in recent experiments. The atoms of the condensate are trapped in a periodic potential generated by a cavity mode. The condensate is continuously pumped by a laser and spontaneously emits a pair of photons of different frequencies in two distinct cavity modes. In this way, the condensate mediates entanglement between two cavity modes, which leak out and can be separated and exhibit continuous variable entanglement. The scheme exploits the experimentally demonstrated strong, steady and collective coupling of condensate atoms to a cavity field.

Continuous-Variable Entanglement Generation from a Four-State Atom under Raman Excitation

Ting-Ting Zha, Aixi Chen, Wen‐Xing Yang

We investigate the generation and the evolution of continuous-variable (CV) entanglement from a laser-driven four-state atom inside a doubly resonant cavity under Raman excitation. Two transitions in the four-state atom independently interact with the two cavity modes, while two other transitions are driven by coupling laser fields. By including the atomic relaxation as well as cavity losses, we show that the CV entanglement with large mean number of photons can be generated in our scheme. We also show that the intensity of the coupling laser fields can influence effectively the entanglement period of the cavity field. Different from the conventional resonant excitation scheme where zero one-photon detuning are required, it is found that the intensity and period of entanglement between the two cavity modes as well as the total mean photon number of the cavity field can be adjusted by properly modulating the frequency detuning.
