Manipulation of the asymmetric Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering via coherent population transfer

Abstract

We investigate the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering of two cavity modes generated via four-wave mixing processes. For a three-level V-type configuration, a strong coherent field as a dressing field couples the atoms, and a weak coherent field as a control filed resonantly couples one dressed state to the auxiliary state. By using the approach of dressed states and Bogoliubov modes, we find that only one Bogoliubov mode is mediated into the interaction with the dressed atoms, and the other one is decoupled. Due to the presence of the coherent control filed, the channel for dressed state population transfer is established, which plays a key role in the generation of the asymmetric EPR steering of two cavity fields. It is shown that the one-way EPR steering can be manipulated by the Rabi frequencies of the control field and the cooperativity parameters.
