Entangled States Generation of Two Atoms Interacting with a Cavity

NeuroQuantology, 2009

We classify different classes of entangled states arise in a two-qubit system. Some of these classes are of Bell's state types, while others are of the Werner's state types. The degree of entanglement is quantified for different values of the atomic and the cavity parameters. We show that it is possible to generate entangled state with high degree of entanglement by controlling the detuning and the number of photon inside the cavity.

Entanglement between artificial atoms and photons of lossless cavities

Journal of Physics: Conference Series

We investigated the dynamics of atom-field entanglement for two natural or artificial two-level atoms interacting with a one-mode quantum electromagnetic field by means of multiphoton transitions in a lossless cavity. Tavis-Cummings model is used to describe the interaction of the atoms and real microwave coplanar cavity field. We carried out the mathematical modeling of the dynamics of the system under consideration for various initial states of the atomic subsystem and an intensive coherent field of the cavity. We showed that for small multiplicities, the atoms and the field, which were initially in a pure separable state, can return to this state during the evolution. We also found that for large multiplicities the atoms and the field are in the entangled atom-field state in the process of the system evolution with the exception of the initial time instant. These results can be used in the theory of quantum networks.

Measurement Induced Entanglement and Quantum Computation with Atoms in Optical Cavities

Physical Review Letters, 2003

We propose a method to prepare entangled states and implement quantum computation with atoms in optical cavities. The internal state of the atoms are entangled by a measurement of the phase of light transmitted through the cavity. By repeated measurements an entangled state is created with certainty, and this entanglement can be used to implement gates on qubits which are stored in different internal degrees of freedom of the atoms. This method, based on measurement induced dynamics, has a higher fidelity than schemes making use of controlled unitary dynamics.

Effective dynamics for two-atom entanglement and quantum information processing by coupled cavity QED systems

The European Physical Journal D, 2011

We propose a scheme for deterministic generation of entanglement embodied by two Λ-type atoms distributed in two coupled cavities. We study such a system in the dispersive atom-field interactions, where the dynamics of the system operates through the virtual population of both the atomic excited states and the photonic states in the cavities (plus the fiber). We verify the validity of the dynamics, and moreover, study the influences of the decoherence due to the spontaneous emission and photon leakage. We also apply the dynamics for realizing quantum state transfer and quantum phase gates.

Off-resonant entanglement generation in a lossy cavity

Physical Review A, 2009

We provide an exact and complete characterization of the entanglement dynamics of two qubits coupled to a common structured reservoir at zero temperature. We derive the conditions to maximize reservoir-induced entanglement for an initially factorized state of the two-qubit system. In particular, when the two qubits are placed inside a lossy cavity, we show that high values of entanglement can be obtained, even in the bad cavity limit, in the dispersive regime. Finally we show that, under certain conditions, the entanglement dynamics exhibits quantum beats and we explain their physical origin in terms of the interference between two different transitions coupling the dressed states of the system.

Heralded generation of entanglement with coupled cavities

Physical Review A, 2008

We propose a scheme to generate two-photon, two-atom, or atom-photon entangled states with a coupled system of two cavities. In our scheme, two cavity photons are exchanged by the direct intercavity coupling, while atoms in the cavities simply play the role of generating and probing them. By virtue of the high efficiency of atomic state measurement, this method enables the realization of efficient heralded entanglement generation robust against photon loss, which greatly facilitates applications in quantum information processing.

Emergence of atom-light-mirror entanglement inside an optical cavity

Physical Review A, 2008

We propose a scheme for the realization of a hybrid, strongly quantum-correlated system formed of an atomic ensemble surrounded by a high-finesse optical cavity with a vibrating mirror. We show that the steady state of the system shows tripartite and bipartite continuous variable entanglement in experimentally accessible parameter regimes, which is robust against temperature.

Temporal and diffraction effects in entanglement creation in an optical cavity

Physical Review A, 2007

A practical scheme for entanglement creation between distant atoms located inside a single-mode optical cavity is discussed. We show that the degree of entanglement and the time it takes for the entanglement to reach its optimum value is a sensitive function the initial conditions and the position of the atoms inside the cavity mode. It is found that the entangled properties of the two atoms can readily be extracted from dynamics of a simple two-level system. Effectively, we engineer two coupled qubits whose the dynamics are analogous to that of a driven single two-level system. It is found that spatial variations of the coupling constants actually help to create transient entanglement which may appear on the time scale much longer than that predicted for the case of equal coupling constants. When the atoms are initially prepared in an entangled state, they may remain entangled for all times. We also find that the entanglement exhibits an interesting phenomenon of diffraction when the the atoms are located between the nodes and antinodes of the cavity mode. The diffraction pattern of the entanglement varies with time and we explain this effect in terms of the quantum property of complementarity, which is manifested as a tradeoff between the knowledge of energy of the exchanged photon versus the evolution time of the system.

Generation, dynamical buildup and detection of bi- and mulipartite entangled states in cavity systems

Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

We inspect different quantum optical setups from the viewpoint of entanglement generation and detection. As a first step we consider a planar semiconductor microcavity and optimize the Bell-type correlations and their robustness against dephasing to create strong bipartite entanglement between polariton branches, which subsequently can be transfered to the emitted photons. In a second step, in order to create multipartite entangled light, we place the microcavity in an optical resonator driven by pump pulses with a frequency comb spectrum. For this system we show how phase matching of all comb modes can be achieved and will lead to indistinguishable scattering processes causing entanglement among every mode. Finally we demonstrate the buildup of entanglement in the dissipative dynamics of emitters coupled to a single cavity photon mode driven by an external laser. From a Floquet master equation approach we find that entanglement production predominates during the first few laser oscillation periods.

Creation of entanglement of two atoms coupled to two distant cavities with losses

Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2011

We present a model to generate atomic entanglement with atoms located at distant cavities. It consists of two cavities connected by an optical fibre, where each cavity interacts with a single two-level atom. For certain atom-cavity and cavity-fibre coupling parameters, we find a wide time plateau for the concurrence between the atoms. An increase of the atom-cavity detuning gives rise to a linear increase of the width of the plateau, but at the same time, when losses are included in the model, it also decreases the value of the concurrence and increases the response time to reach the maximum.
