Quantum state engineering in a cavity by Stark chirped rapid adiabatic passage

We propose a robust scheme to generate single-photon Fock states and atom-photon and atom-atom entanglement in atom-cavity systems. We also present a scheme for quantum networking between two cavity nodes using an atomic channel. The mechanism is based on Stark-chirped rapid adiabatic passage (SCRAP) and half-SCRAP processes in a microwave cavity. The engineering of these states depends on the design of the adiabatic dynamics through the static and dynamic Stark shifts.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures, to be appeared in PL

Robust creation of atomic W state in a cavity by adiabatic passage

We propose two robust schemes to generate controllable (deterministic) atomic W-states of three three-level atoms interacting with an optical cavity and a laser beam. Losses due to atomic spontaneous emissions and to cavity decay are efficiently suppressed by employing adiabatic passage technique and appropriately designed atom-field couplings. In these schemes the three atoms traverse the cavity-mode and the laser beam and become entangled in the free space outside the cavity.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures. Submitted to Optics Communication

Atom-photon, atom-atom and photon-photon entanglement preparation via fractional adiabatic passage

We propose a relatively robust scheme to generate maximally entangled states of (i) an atom and a cavity photon, (ii) two atoms in their ground states, and (iii) two photons in two spatially separate high-Q cavities. It is based on the interaction via fractional adiabatic passage of a three-level atom traveling through a cavity mode and a laser beam. The presence of optical phases is emphasized.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures. We have changed the title, the abstract and the text. The references have been updated. (Accepted by Phys. Rev. A

Relation between Berry phases and entanglement besides convergence of levels for two entangled spin-1/2 particles in magnetic fields

We study the effects of an extra static magnetic field, coupling with one of the two entangled spin-1/2 particles, on Berry phases and entanglement of the adiabatic eigensatates of the system, while the other spin interacts with a rotating magnetic field satisfying the adiabatic condition. This static magnetic field can be used for controlling the Berry phases and the entangled state of the system. The relation of the Berry phases and entanglement to Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction, coupling coefficient, and the magnetic fields are also investigated. The results demonstrate a close relationship between the Berry phases and pairwise entanglement (as measured by the so-called entanglement of formation). We show that reversing the sign of the static magnetic field can cause exchanges of the Berry phases and entanglement between the adiabatic states. It is illustrated that the geometric phases and entanglement are good indicators to detect the convergence of the levels and each convergence of levels corresponds to abrupt changes in the Berry phases and entanglement

Effect of spontaneous emission and cavity decay on intracavity stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

In this paper, we study the robust technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in an optical cavity considering decoherence effects of atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay. Numerical solution of Liouville equation shows that the population transfer of the system is more sensitive to the cavity decay than the atomic spontaneous emission

Designing single-qutrit quantum gates via tripod adiabatic passage

In this paper, we use stimulated Raman adiabatic passage technique to implement single-qutrit quantum gates in tripod systems. It is shown by using the Morris-Shore (MS) transformation, the six-state problem with 5 pulsed fields can be reduced to a basis that decouples two states from the others. This imposes three pulses not connected to the initial condition with have the same shape. Using this method, the six-state penta-pod system is reduced to a tripod system. We can design single-qutrit quantum gates by ignoring the fragile dynamical phase, and by suitable design of Rabi frequencies of the effective Hamiltonia

Fluctuation-induced conductivity and dimensionality in the new Y-based Y

The fluctuation conductivity measurement on the new Y-based Y3Ba5Cu8O18-x superconductor is presented. The dimensional crossovers between different temperature regimes were analyzed with Aslamazov-Larkin (AL) theory and a good quantitative agreement was achieved for the experimental data. For our data, the mean field regime is dominated by 2D AL fluctuations. Our results reveal the occurrence of critical fluctuation regime in consistent with the prediction of the full dynamic 3D XY model. We found the dynamical critical exponent to be z = 3.4 for our data. We analyzed also the excess conductivity data by Hikami-Larkin theory and estimated the phase relaxation time

Quantum state engineering in ion-traps via adiabatic passage

We propose two relatively robust schemes to generate entangled W states of three (or generally N) ions in ion trap systems by using adiabatic passage technique and appropriately designed ion-field couplings in a single step. In the first scheme, we apply the N-pod fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (F-STIRAP) technique to generate W state of N ions using two Gaussian laser pulses. We also show that the W state of N − 1 ions can be created via a simple N-pod standard STIRAP by two laser pulses. In the second scheme, we generate the entangled state of N ions via π-pulse technique by a single laser pulse. We also study the population transfer of the system by numerical solutions of the master equation, considering the effect of decoherence channels due to laser intensity fluctuations and dissipation in the phonon modes
