Abstract

We consider a system consisting of a $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type atom and a $V$-type atom, which are individually trapped in two spatially separated cavities that are connected by an optical fiber. We show that an extremely entangled state of the two atoms can be deterministically generated through both photon emission of the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type atom and photon absorption of the $V$-type atom in an ideal situation. The influence of various decoherence processes such as spontaneous emission and photon loss on the fidelity of the entangled state is also investigated. We find that the effect of photon leakage out of the fiber on the fidelity can be greatly diminished in some special cases. In regard to the effect of spontaneous emission and photon loss from the cavities, we find that the present scheme with high fidelity may be realized under current experiment conditions. We also show that either the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$- or $V$-type level configuration can be realized on the same atom by initializing the atomic state, and we show the present scheme is scalable.

Generation of entanglement between two spatially separated atoms via dispersive atom–field interaction

Xin‐You Lü, Liu-Gang Si, Meng Wang +2 more

Based on the dispersive atom–field interaction, a scheme is proposed for deterministically generating entanglement between two Λ-type atoms, which are trapped individually in two spatially separated cavities coupled by an optical fibre. In the present scheme, it is found that the atomic spontaneous decay and photon leakage out of the fibre can be efficiently suppressed via choosing appropriately the frequency detuning of atom–field and the coupling intensity of cavity–fibre, respectively. The influence of photon leakage out of the cavities is also discussed, and the strictly numerical simulation shows that our proposal is good enough to demonstrate the generation of entanglement between two distant atoms with high fidelity.

Dispersive atom-field interaction scheme for three-dimensional entanglement between two spatially separated atoms

Xin‐You Lü, Jibing Liu, Chunling Ding +1 more

We propose a scheme for deterministically generating three-dimensional (3D) entanglement between two distant five-level atoms based on the dispersive atom-field interaction. In our scheme, the two atoms are trapped separately in two spatially separated optical cavities coupled by an optical fiber. To check the experimental feasibility of our scheme, we numerically simulated effects of the atomic spontaneous decay and photon leakage out of the fiber, and the numerical simulation shows that those effects can be suppressed by appropriately choosing the frequency detuning of atom-field and the coupling intensity of cavity fiber, respectively. We also discussed the influence of photon leakage out of the cavities, and the strictly numerical simulation shows our proposal is good enough to demonstrate the generation of 3D entanglement with high fidelity and within the current experimental technology.

Robust generation of a four-dimensional entangled state in separate cavities via quantum Zeno dynamics

Li-Tuo Shen, Huai‐Zhi Wu, Rongxin Chen

We propose a scheme for generating a four-dimensional entanglement between two atoms trapped in two separate cavities connected by an optical fiber. Based on quantum Zeno dynamics, the entangled state is obtained only in one step. We also numerically investigate the influence of photon leakage and atomic spontaneous emission on the fidelity of the entangled state. The result shows that our scheme is robust against the cavity decay and very promising for realization with current experimental technology.

Achieving three-dimensional entanglement between two spatially separated atoms by using the quantum Zeno effect

Siping Liu, Jiahua Li, Rong Yu +1 more

Based on the quantum Zeno effect [B. Misra and E. C. G. Sudarshan, J. Math. Phys. 18, 756 (1977)], we propose a scheme to achieve three-dimensional (3D) entanglement between two distant five-level atoms. In our scheme, the two atoms are trapped individually in two spatially-separated double-mode cavities connected by an optical fiber. It is found that the effective quantum Zeno dynamics of the composite cavity-fiber-cavity coupled system gives rise to the deterministic creation of the 3D entangled state with high fidelity. Moreover, only one step operation is required to complete the generation of the 3D entangled state. The numerical simulations clearly show that the proposed scheme is robust against the deviation of the system parameters and insensitive to various decoherence factors, including atomic spontaneous emissions, cavity decays and fiber photon leakages. We justify our scheme by considering the experimental feasibility within the currently available technology.

Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state generation of three atoms trapped in two remote cavities

Yan‐Ling Li, Mao-Fa Fang, Xing Mao Xiao +2 more

We consider a system composed of a single-atom-trapped cavity (A) and a remote two-atom-trapped cavity (B) which are connected by an optical fibre. It is shown that a shared Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state of the three atoms can be deterministically generated by controlling the time of interaction or via the adiabatic passage based on this system. The influence of various decoherence processes such as spontaneous emission and photon loss on the fidelity is also investigated. It is found that our schemes can be realized with high fidelity even when these decoherence processes are considered.

Deterministic generation of three-dimensional entanglement for two atoms separately trapped in two optical cavities

Sai-Yun Ye, Zhi‐Rong Zhong, Shi‐Biao Zheng

A scheme is proposed for the deterministic generation of three-dimensional entanglement of two distant atoms separately trapped in two optical cavities connected by an optical fiber. Employing adiabatic passage along dark states, the atoms are always in ground states, in particular, the fiber mode remains in the vacuum state due to the quantum destructive interference, and the population of the cavities being excited can be negligible under certain conditions. In this sense, our scheme constructs an effective way to avoid the atomic spontaneous emission and the decays of fiber and cavities.
