Quantum state transfer from light to molecules via coherent two-color photo-association in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate

By using a quantized input light, we theoretically revisit the coherent two-color photo-association process in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. Under the single-mode approximations, we show two interesting regimes of the light transmission and the molecular generation. The quantum state transfer from light to molecules is exhibited, without or with the depletion of trapped atoms.Comment: 1 figure, accepted by Eur.Phys.J.D on Dec.15,200
