Distributed entanglement induced by dissipative bosonic media
We describe a scheme with analytic result that allows to generate
steady-state entanglement for two atoms over a dissipative bosonic medium. The
resonant coupling between the mediating bosonic mode and cavity modes produces
three collective atomic decay channels. This dissipative dynamics, together
with the unitary process induced by classical microwave fields, drives the two
atoms to the symmetric or asymmetric entangled steady state conditional upon
the choice of the phases of the microwave fields. The effects on the
steady-state entanglement of off-resonance mediating bosonic modes are
analyzed. The entanglement can be obtained with high fidelity regardless of the
initial state and there is a linear relation in the scaling of the fidelity
with the cooperativity parameter. The fidelity is insensitive to the
fluctuation of the Rabi frequencies of the classical driving fields.Comment: to appear in Europhysics Letter
Coherent quantum effects through dispersive bosonic media
The coherent evolution of two atomic qubits mediated by a set of bosonic
field modes is investigated. By assuming a specific encoding of the quantum
states in the internal levels of the two atoms we show that entangling quantum
gates can be realised, with high fidelity, even when a large number of
mediating modes is involved. The effect of losses and imperfections on the
gates' operation is also considered in detail.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figure
