Entanglement generated between a single atom and a laser pulse
نویسندگان
چکیده
We quantify the entanglement generated between an atom and a laser pulse in free space. We find that the entanglement calculated using a simple closed-system Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is in remarkable agreement with a full open-system calculation, even though the free-space geometry is far from the strong-coupling regime of cavity QED. We explain this result using a simple model in which the atom couples weakly to the laser, while coupling strongly to the vacuum. Additionally we place an upper bound on the total entanglement between the atom and all paraxial modes using a quantum trajectories unravelling. This upper bound provides a benchmark for atom-laser coupling.

Entanglement of an Atom and Its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Spontaneously Generated Coherence
The entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. The effect of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. We find that in the presence of SGC the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...
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 کاملCoherent generation of EPR-entangled light pulses mediated by a single trapped atom
We show that a single, trapped, laser-driven atom in a high-finesse optical cavity allows for the quantumcoherent generation of entangled light pulses on demand. We report the detailed description of schemes for generating simultaneous and temporally separated pulse pairs, presented in G. Morigi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 96, 023601 2006 . The mechanical effect of the laser excitation on the qua...

Abstract: We demonstrate the generation of two-mode continuous-variable (CV) entanglement in a V-type three-level atom trapped in a doubly resonant cavity using a microwave field driving a hyperfine transition between two upper excited states. By numerically simulating the dynamics of this system, our results show that the CV entanglement with large mean number of photons can be generated even ...

The experimental study of passively Q-switched, LED-pumped Ce:Nd:YAG laser is reported. The active medium is a 3 mm diameter laser rod with 60 mm length; it is optically pumped with four segments of blue LEDs at 460 nm, with each segment consisting of 32 single LEDs. The 14 cm length optical resonator with 2 dielectric mirrors and the reflectivity of 99 and 93 percent at 1064 nm produced more t...
