Scheme for generating entangled states of two field modes in a cavity
This paper considers a two-level atom interacting with two cavity modes with
equal frequencies. Applying a unitary transformation, the system reduces to the
analytically solvable Jaynes-Cummings model. For some particular field states,
coherent and squeezed states, the transformation between the two bare basis's,
related by the unitary transformation, becomes particularly simple. It is shown
how to generate, the highly non-classical, entangled coherent states of the two
modes, both in the zero and large detuning cases. An advantage with the zero
detuning case is that the preparation is deterministic and no atomic
measurement is needed. For the large detuning situation a measurement is
required, leaving the field in either of two orthogonal entangled coherent
states.Comment: Accepted in J. Mod. Opt.; 12 pages; Replaced with revised version.
