Universal and deterministic manipulation of the quantum state of harmonic oscillators: a route to unitary gates for Fock State qubits
We present a simple quantum circuit that allows for the universal and
deterministic manipulation of the quantum state of confined harmonic
oscillators. The scheme is based on the selective interactions of the referred
oscillator with an auxiliary three-level system and a classical external
driving source, and enables any unitary operations on Fock states, two-by-two.
One circuit is equivalent to a single qubit unitary logical gate on Fock states
qubits. Sequences of similar protocols allow for complete, deterministic and
state-independent manipulation of the harmonic oscillator quantum state.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Direct measurement of finite-time disentanglement induced by a reservoir
We propose a method for directly probing the dynamics of disentanglement of
an initial two-qubit entangled state, under the action of a reservoir. We show
that it is possible to detect disentanglement, for experimentally realizable
examples of decaying systems, through the measurement of a single observable,
which is invariant throughout the decay. The systems under consideration may
lead to either finite-time or asymptotic disentanglement. A general
prescription for measuring this observable, which yields an operational meaning
to entanglement measures, is proposed, and exemplified for cavity quantum
electrodynamics and trapped ions.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Geometric phase induced by a cyclically evolving squeezed vacuum reservoir
We propose a new way to generate an observable geometric phase by means of a
completely incoherent phenomenon. We show how to imprint a geometric phase to a
system by "adiabatically" manipulating the environment with which it interacts.
As a specific scheme we analyse a multilevel atom interacting with a broad-band
squeezed vacuum bosonic bath. As the squeezing parameters are smoothly changed
in time along a closed loop, the ground state of the system acquires a
geometric phase. We propose also a scheme to measure such geometric phase by
means of a suitable polarization detection.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Spin-1/2 geometric phase driven by decohering quantum fields
We calculate the geometric phase of a spin-1/2 system driven by a one and two
mode quantum field subject to decoherence. Using the quantum jump approach, we
show that the corrections to the phase in the no-jump trajectory are different
when considering an adiabatic and non-adiabatic evolution. We discuss the
implications of our results from both the fundamental as well as quantum
computational perspective.Comment: 4 page
Coherent evolution via reservoir driven holonomy
We show that in the limit of strongly interacting environment a system
initially prepared in a Decoherence Free Subspace (DFS) coherently evolves in
time, adiabatically following the changes of the DFS. If the reservoir cyclicly
evolves in time, the DFS states acquire an holonomy.Comment: 4 page
Controlling the dynamics of a coupled atom-cavity system by pure dephasing : basics and potential applications in nanophotonics
The influence of pure dephasing on the dynamics of the coupling between a
two-level atom and a cavity mode is systematically addressed. We have derived
an effective atom-cavity coupling rate that is shown to be a key parameter in
the physics of the problem, allowing to generalize the known expression for the
Purcell factor to the case of broad emitters, and to define strategies to
optimize the performances of broad emitters-based single photon sources.
Moreover, pure dephasing is shown to be able to restore lasing in presence of
detuning, a further demonstration that decoherence can be seen as a fundamental
resource in solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics, offering appealing
perspectives in the context of advanced nano-photonic devices.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Geometrically induced singular behavior of entanglement
We show that the geometry of the set of quantum states plays a crucial role
in the behavior of entanglement in different physical systems. More
specifically it is shown that singular points at the border of the set of
unentangled states appear as singularities in the dynamics of entanglement of
smoothly varying quantum states. We illustrate this result by implementing a
photonic parametric down conversion experiment. Moreover, this effect is
connected to recently discovered singularities in condensed matter models.Comment: v2: 4 pags, 4 figs. A discussion before the proof of Proposition 1

Emergence of classicality in small number entangled systems
We show the transition from a fully quantized interaction to a semiclassical
one in entangled small number quantum systems using the quantum trajectories
approach. In particular, we simulate the microwave Ramsey zones used in Rydberg
atom interferometry, filling in the gap between the strongly entangling Jaynes
Cummings evolution and the semiclassical rotation of the atomic internal
states. We also correlate the information flowing with leaking photons to the
entanglement generation between cavity field and flying atom and detail the
roles played by the strong dissipation and the external driving force in
preserving atomic coherence through the interaction.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
