Optical tomography and coherence of a cavity interacting with two time-dependent position qubits

Optical tomography is a widely used method for estimating complex information. It provides a monotonic relation between the coherent field states density and their corresponding probability distributions. This approach is critical for validating any quantum information processing system’s implementation. This paper explores the optical tomography and coherence dynamics for a cavity interacting with two two-level atoms having time-dependent locations. We analyze the dynamics of the photon-field states, as two moving atoms enter a cavity filled with two superposed coherent states. The von-Neumann entropy dynamics illustrates how interaction couplings between the two atoms and cavity can give rise to entangled states under the effects of the atom-field couplings and the time-dependent atomic location parameter. Aside from coherence, the interactions between the cavity and atoms are essential for producing nonclassical proprieties in optical tomography. Furthermore, we investigate the dynamics of optical tomography densities with respect to the couplings between atoms and photons for time-dependent atomic location. Our results show that the couplings between atoms and cavity not only accelerate but also improve the processes involved in generating nonclassical optical tomography and coherence dynamics.

Dynamics of atom-atom entanglement in two-atom model with degenerate two-photon raman transitions

The exact dynamics of a model consisting of two two-level atoms interacting with the electromagnetic field mode of an ideal resonator through degenerate Raman transitions are found for coherent and thermal field states. The exact solution is used to calculate atom-atom negativity. It is shown that for separable initial states of atoms, their interaction with the resonator field does not lead to the occurrence of atom-atom entanglement. It was found that for the Bell initial states of atoms in the case of a coherent resonator field, the effect of sudden death of entanglement takes place for large average values of the number of photons in the resonator, while in case of thermal noise, this effect is absent for any intensities of the resonator field.

Wigner quasi-probability distribution of a resonator coherent field interacting with a flux qubit via two-photon coupling

The Wigner quasi-probability distribution function is an important tool for estimating the quantumness of quantum states. The Wigner distribution function (WDF) is related monotonically to the coherent field state density operator and their probability distributions. In this paper, we analyze the time-dependent resonator coherent field states produced by a flux qubit’s interaction with a resonator-field through a two-photon coupling. The WDF dynamics of the coherent field states is investigated under the effects of the qubit-resonator detuning and the intrinsic decoherence. The WDF non-classicality associated with the mixedness resonator entropy dynamics can be controlled by varying the qubit-resonator interaction, detuning as well as the decoherence. The intrinsic decoherence clearly affects the WDF non-classicality, identified by the negative values of the WDF. Finally, by fixing one or both of the complex phase space components, we are able to explore the dynamics of the Wigner-distribution functions.

Eight-port homodyne detector: The effect of imperfections on quantum random-number generation and on detection of quadratures

The eight-port homodyne detector is an optical circuit designed to perform the monitoring of two quadratures of an optical field, the signal. By using quantum Bose fields and quantum stochastic calculus, we give a complete quantum description of this apparatus, when used as quadrature detector in continuous time. We can treat either the travelling waves in the optical circuit, either the observables involved in the detection part: two couples of photodiodes, postprocessing of the output currents. The analysis includes imperfections, such as not perfectly balanced beam splitters, detector efficiency, electronic noise, phase and intensity noise in the laser acting as local oscillator; this last noise is modelled by using mixtures of field coherent states as statistical operator of the laser component. Due to the monitoring in continuous time, the output is a stochastic process and its full probability distribution is obtained. When the output process is sampled at discrete times, the quantum description can be reduced to discrete mode operators, but at the price of having random operators, which contain also the noise of the local oscillator. Consequently, the local oscillator noise has a very different effect on the detection results with respect to an additive noise, such as the noise in the electronic components. As an application, the problem of secure random number generation is considered, based on the local oscillator shot noise. The rate of random bits that can be generated is quantified by the min-entropy; the possibility of classical and quantum side information is taken into account by suitable conditional min-entropies. The final rate depends on which parts of the apparatus are considered to be secure and on which ones are considered to be exposed to the intervention of an intruder. In some experimentally realistic situations, the entropy losses are computed.

Semiclassical gravitational collapse of a radially symmetric massless scalar quantum field

We present a method to study the semiclassical gravitational collapse of a radially symmetric scalar quantum field in a coherent initial state. The formalism utilizes a Fock space basis in the initial metric, is unitary and time reversal invariant up to numerical precision. It maintains exact compatibility of the metric with the expectation values of the energy momentum tensor in the scalar field coherent state throughout the entire time evolution. We find a simple criterion for the smallness of discretization effects, which is violated when a horizon forms. As a first example, we study the collapse of a specific state in the angular momentum $l=0$ approximation. Outside the simulated volume it produces a Schwarzschild metric with $r_s \sim 3.5 \ell_p$. We see behaviour that is compatible with the onset of horizon formation both in the semiclassical and corresponding classical cases in a regime where we see no evidence for large discretization artefacts. In our example setting, we see that quantum effects accelerate the possible horizon formation and move it radially outward. We find that this effect is robust against variations of the radial resolution, the time step, the volume, the initial position and shape of the inmoving state, the vacuum subtraction, the discretization of the time evolution operator and the integration scheme of the metric. We briefly discuss potential improvements of the method and the possibility of applying it to black hole evaporation. We also briefly touch on the extension of our formalism to higher angular momenta, but leave the details and numerics for a forthcoming publication.

Effect of the atomic dipole-dipole interaction on the phase diagrams of field-matter interactions: Variational procedure

We establish, within the second quantization method, the general dipole-dipole Hamiltonian interaction of a system of $n$-level atoms. The variational energy surface of the $n$-level atoms interacting with $\ell$-mode fields and under the Van Der Waals forces is calculated with respect the tensorial product of matter and electromagnetic field coherent states. This is used to determine the quantum phase diagram associated to the ground state of the system and quantify the effect of the dipole-dipole Hamiltonian interaction. By considering real induced electric dipole moments, we find the quantum phase transitions for $2$- and $3$-level atomic systems interacting with $1$- and $2$- modes of the electromagnetic field, respectively. The corresponding order of the transitions is established by means of Ehrenfest classification; for some undetermined cases, we propose two procedures: the difference of the expectation value of the Casimir operators of the $2$-level subsystems, and by maximizing the Bures distance between neighbor variational solutions.

Quantum effects induced by two classical fields in a coherent cavity field containing two two-level atoms

The paper derives an exact solution for a two-qubit system coupling to a quantized cavity field driven by two different types of external fields when the cavity is initially in a coherent field state. The two-qubit quantum coherence via the Jensen–Shannon divergence and the two-qubit entanglement via the negativity are investigated under the effects of the physical parameters. The results are depicted that, the generated two-qubit effects depend on the external-qubit and the external-field detunings as well as the initial cavity coherent intensity. It is found that the increase of the parameters of the initial coherent states, the detuning between the cavity field and the external classical field, and the detuning between the qubit and the external classical fields are played a key role in the dynamics of the population inversion and the generated entropic qubit-cavity entanglement. The oscillation amplitudes of the atomic population can be improved when the classical-field detuning is equal to the qubit detuning, and they can be weakened dramatically when the qubit detuning is smaller than the classical-field detuning. The qubit-cavity entanglement can be improved when the classical-field detuning is larger than the qubit detuning, and vice versa. • An exact solution is derived for a two-qubit system coupling to a quantized cavity field driven by two different types of external fields. • Dynamics of population inversion and generated entropy qubit-cavity entanglement are explored under the initial states as well as the detunings. • Two-qubit quantum coherence via the Jensen–Shannon divergence and the two-qubit entanglement via the negativity are investigated.

Dynamics of field nonclassicality in the Jaynes–Cummings model

Employing an informational quantifier for nonclassicality of bosonic field based on the Wigner–Yanase skew information, we investigate the dynamics of field nonclassicality in the Jaynes–Cummings model evolving from several typical initial atom–field states: coherent states, Fock states, and thermal states for the field, and ground state, excited state, symmetric superposition state, and maximally mixed state for the atom. We reveal some intriguing features of the field dynamics and their sensitivity on the initial states from an informational perspective. The results show that field nonclassicality can be generated in most cases and exhibits complex dynamic patterns involving collapses and revivals. A remarkable observation is that the initial coherent field states, assisted by the atom, can be converted to almost maximally nonclassical field states constrained by the average photon number, even though all coherent states are the most classical and possess the same minimal nonclassicality among pure states. The field dynamics may be exploited to estimate the initial atom as well as the field states, prepare desired evolving states and process quantum information.

Generating non-locality correlation via 2-photon resonant interaction of dissipative two-qubit system with coherent field

In this paper, we introduce analytically the TC-model of two qubits interacting with a coherent cavity field via 2-photon process under the intrinsic dissipation effect. The interaction between the coherent cavity field and the two qubits, which are initially in an uncorrelated state, leads to generate non-locality qubit-qubit correlations. These correlations are investigated by using trace-norm measurement-induced nonlocality and Bures distance entanglement. It is found that the sudden appearance and sudden disappearance of the qubit-qubit entanglement depend not only on the intrinsic noise but also on the initial coherence intensity. The generated non-locality correlations and their stationary values may be controlled by the physical parameters of the intrinsic noise and the initial coherent field state.

Physical and nonclassical properties of the interaction between a four-level atom and field in coherent state of Morse potential

The quantum system of the field initially defined by the k-photon-added Morse potential coherent states (MPCSs) of the radiation field interacting with a four-level atom (FLA) was studied. The physical and non-classical properties of the field defined by the MPCS system were quantified using the Mandel parameter. The effect of time-dependent coupling (TDC) on the atomic speed was examined. Moreover, the dynamic properties of the non-local correlation between the FLA and MPCS radiation field were studied and compared with those of the geometric phase. We also investigated the influence of the initial interaction conditions and different system parameters on the evolution of the non-local correlation, Mandel parameter, and geometric phase. The relationships between the geometric phase, Mandel parameter, and non-local correlation with TDC were explored.

Exact calculation of stimulated emission driven by pulsed light

Stimulated emission can be defined as the process when an incoming photon stimulates an additional quantum of energy from an atom into the same electromagnetic mode as the impinging photon. Hence, the two outgoing photons are identical. In a waveguide or free space, this intuition is typically found through Fermi's Golden rule, however, this does not properly account for the wave-like nature of the photons. Here, I present an exact solution to stimulated emission from a quantum two-level atom that properly accounts for the incoming and outgoing electromagnetic modes. This result is valid over a huge range of incident photon numbers. For a single incident photon, it shows how the photon must properly mode match the two-level system to cause stimulated emission. For a Fock state drive with large photon number, the exact solution shows how a two-level system Rabi oscillates with the traveling Fock mode as it passes by. I additionally use the same formalism to show that stimulated emission by a coherent pulse cannot be understood as an additional photon being emitted into the incident coherent state because the two-level system's state factorizes with the electromagnetic field's coherent state. Recent advances in superconducting circuits make them an ideal platform to test these predictions.

Harvesting correlations from thermal and squeezed coherent states

We study the harvesting of entanglement and mutual information by Unruh-DeWitt particle detectors from thermal and squeezed coherent field states. We prove (for arbitrary spatial dimensions, switching profiles and detector smearings) that while the entanglement harvesting ability of detectors decreases monotonically with the field temperature $T$, harvested mutual information grows linearly with $T$. We also show that entanglement harvesting from a general squeezed coherent state is independent of the coherent amplitude, but depends strongly on the squeezing amplitude. Moreover, we find that highly squeezed states i) allow for detectors to harvest much more entanglement than from the vacuum, and ii) ensure that the entanglement harvested does not decay with their spatial separation. Finally we analyze the spatial inhomogeneity of squeezed states and its influence on harvesting, and investigate how much entanglement one can actually extract from squeezed states when the squeezing is bandlimited.

Entanglement Dynamics of Linear and Nonlinear Interaction of Two Two-Level Atoms with a Quantized Phase-Damped Field in the Dispersive Regime

In this paper we study the linear and nonlinear (intensity-dependent) interactions of two two-level atoms with a single-mode quantized field far from resonance, while the phase-damping effect is also taken into account. To find the analytical solution of the atom-field state vector corresponding to the considered model, after deducing the effective Hamiltonian we evaluate the time-dependent elements of the density operator using the master equation approach and superoperator method. Consequently, we are able to study the influences of the special nonlinearity function $f (n) = \sqrt {n}$ , the intensity of the initial coherent state field and the phase-damping parameter on the degree of entanglement of the whole system as well as the field and atom. It is shown that in the presence of damping, by passing time, the amount of entanglement of each subsystem with the rest of system, asymptotically reaches to its stationary and maximum value. Also, the nonlinear interaction does not have any effect on the entanglement of one of the atoms with the rest of system, but it changes the amplitude and time period of entanglement oscillations of the field and the other atom. Moreover, this may cause that, the degree of entanglement which may be low (high) at some moments of time becomes high (low) by entering the intensity-dependent function in the atom-field coupling.

Hybrid quantum repeater based on resonant qubit-field interactions

We propose a hybrid quantum repeater based on ancillary coherent field states and material qubits coupled to optical cavities. For this purpose, resonant qubit-field interactions and postselective field measurements are determined which are capable of realizing all necessary two-qubit operations for the actuation of the quantum repeater. We explore both theoretical and experimental possibilities of generating near-maximally-entangled qubit pairs ($F>0.999$) over long distances. It is shown that our scheme displays moderately low repeater rates, between $5 \times 10^{-4}$ and $23$ pairs per second, over distances up to $900$ km, and it relies completely on current technology of cavity quantum electrodynamics.
