    Single cold atom as efficient stationary source of EPR-entangled light

    Get PDF
    The Stokes and anti-Stokes components of the spectrum of resonance fluorescence of a single trapped atom, which originate from the mechanical coupling between the scattered photons and the quantized motion of the atomic center of mass, exhibit quantum correlations which are of two-mode-squeezing type. We study and demonstrate the build-up of such correlations in a specific setup, which is experimentally accessible, and where the atom acts as efficient and continuous source of EPR-entangled, two-mode squeezed light

    Get PDF
    In deze bijdrage gaan wij in op het begrip technisch hulpmiddel en twee daaraan gekoppelde discussiepunten, te weten de definitie van technisch hulpmiddel en de voorafgaande keuring van software. Op basis daarvan beantwoorden wij in deze bijdrage de vraag wat het toekomstige recht moet regelen met betrekking tot de keuring van technische hulpmiddelen

    Time-separated entangled light pulses from a single-atom emitter

    The controlled interaction between a single, trapped, laser-driven atom and the mode of a high-finesse optical cavity allows for the generation of temporally separated, entangled light pulses. Entanglement between the photon-number fluctuations of the pulses is created and mediated via the atomic center-of-mass motion, which is interfaced with light through the mechanical effect of atom-photon interaction. By means of a quantum noise analysis we determine the correlation matrix which characterizes the entanglement, as a function of the system parameters. The scheme is feasible in experimentally accessible parameter regimes. It may be easily extended to the generation of entangled pulses at different frequencies, even at vastly different wavelengths.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures.

    Development of a low-power wireless acoustic emission sensor node for aerospace applications

    Acoustic emission (AE) is the spontaneous release of energy caused by the growth of damage, the monitoring of which gives an indication of the presence of damage within a structure. The current standard for AE localisation is difficult to apply in a low‐power system as sensors must either be wired together or Node's time synchronised, which is power intensive. This paper proposes the use of a method of bonding three piezoelectric sensors in a small triangular array, which has previously been shown by Aljets et al. to be capable of locating sources in simple structures. In this prior work the wave's A0 mode was used to predict the angle of arrival and the distance the wave has travelled through single sensor modal analysis. This paper presents the development of hardware to apply this technique and testing that showed artificial sources could be located in simple plates to a good level of accuracy. The addition of complexity to structures significantly reduced accuracy. This prompted hardware modifications to use the S0 mode for angle prediction. Testing showed that this significantly improved performance in a complex composite structure. The power consumption of the device is very low, consuming 0.33 mW in sleep mode, 17.44 mW whilst waiting for an event and 38 mW to record, process and transmit an event. This level of consumption has the potential to be self‐powered via energy harvesting

    Entanglement transfer from dissociated molecules to photons

    Get PDF
    We introduce and study the concept of a reversible transfer of the quantum state of two internally-translationally entangled fragments, formed by molecular dissociation, to a photon pair. The transfer is based on intracavity stimulated Raman adiabatic passage and it requires a combination of processes whose principles are well established.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

    Continuous variable entanglement and quantum state teleportation between optical and macroscopic vibrational modes through radiation pressure

    Full text link
    We study an isolated, perfectly reflecting, mirror illuminated by an intense laser pulse. We show that the resulting radiation pressure efficiently entangles a mirror vibrational mode with the two reflected optical sideband modes of the incident carrier beam. The entanglement of the resulting three-mode state is studied in detail and it is shown to be robust against the mirror mode temperature. We then show how this continuous variable entanglement can be profitably used to teleport an unknown quantum state of an optical mode onto the vibrational mode of the mirror.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figure
