Entanglement-Induced Two-Photon Transparency
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rate of absorption of entangled photon pairs is linear in the photon-flux density. We demonstrate that the two-photon absorption cross section is a nonmonotonic function of the entanglement time; it vanishes for certain energy-level configurations and values of the entanglement time. This entanglement-induced two-photon transparency arises from the coherent summation of transition-amplitude contributions over the finite entanglement time. As an example, the entangled two-photon cross section for the 1S-2S electronic transition in atomic hydrogen is obtained. [S0031-9007(97)02508-8]

In this paper, we present a method to generate continuous-variable-type entangled states between photons and atoms in atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The proposed method involves an atomic BEC with three internal states, a weak quantized probe laser and a strong classical coupling laser, which form a three-level Λ-shaped BEC system. We consider a situation where the BEC is in electromagn...

متن کاملCharacteristics of the Temporal Behavior of Entanglement between Photonic Binomial Distributions and a Two-Level Atom in a Damping Cavity
In the present study, temporal behavior of entanglement between photonic binomial distributions and a two-level atom in a leaky cavity, in equilibrium with the environment at a temperature T, is studied. In this regard, the master equation is solved in the secular approximation for the density matrix, when the initial photonic distribution is binomial, while the atomic states obey the Boltzmann...
متن کاملThe Impact of the Spectral Filter Bandwidth on the Spectral Entanglement and Indistinguishability of Photon Pairs of SPDC Process
In this paper, we have investigated the dependence of the spectral entanglement and indistinguishability of photon pairs produced by the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) procedure on the bandwidth of spectral filters used in the detection setup. The SPDC is a three-wave mixing process which occurs in a nonlinear crystal and generates entangled photon pairs and utilizes as one of th...
