GENERATION OF AN EPR PAIR OF ATOMS IN COUPLED CAVITIES SYSTEM VIA AN OPTICAL FIBER

Abstract

The interaction between identical two-level atoms with a system that consists of two coupled cavities connected by an optical fiber was investigated. With new bosonic operators, the interaction Hamiltonian between the fiber and the cavities can be diagonalized (Pellizzari's model1). In the strong coupling regime (cavity field-fiber), the interaction between atoms and the non-resonant normal modes can be eliminated, simplifying our system to that of one atom interacting with a single-mode cavity. For this interaction, we have analyzed the entanglement between distant atoms. We present two simple procedures to generate two atoms in a maximally entangled state, interacting (i) successively and (ii) simultaneously with the coupled cavities system.
