Photon hole nondemolition measurement scheme by electromagnetically induced transparency
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a scheme for quantum nondemolition measurement of photon holes based on electromagnetically induced transparency, which allows direct nondestructive detection of the photon holes. We analyze a scheme based on interaction of a photon hole signal and a coherent probe field with a three-level atomic medium. Using recent advances in electromagnetically induced transparency technology, we show that the measurement is nondestructive for very weak photon hole signals.

Quantum non-demolition measurements: a new resource for making linear logic scalable
We discuss a new and novel approach to the problem of creating a photon number resolving detector using the giant Kerr nonlinearities available in electromagnetically induced transparency. Our scheme can implement a photon number quantum non-demolition measurement with high efficiency ( 99%) which can distinguish 0, 1 and 2 photons. We then show how it is possible to construct a near determinis...
متن کاملSingle photon quantum non-demolition in the presence of inhomogeneous broadening
Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) has been often proposed for generating nonlinear optical effects at the single photon level; in particular, as a means to effect a quantum non-demolition measurement of a single photon field. Previous treatments have usually considered homogeneously broadened samples, but realisations in any medium will have to contend with inhomogeneous broadening...

In the paper we consider a new approach for storage and cloning of quantum information by three level atomic (molecular) systems in the presence of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect. For that, the various schemes of transformation into the bright and dark polaritons for quantum states of optical field in the medium are proposed. Physical conditions of realization of quan...
متن کاملSuppression of absorption by quantum interference in intersubband transitions of tunnel-coupled double quantum wells
We propose and analyze an efficient scheme for suppressing the absorption of a weak probe field based on intersubband transitions in a four-level asymmetric coupled-quantum well (CQW) driven coherently by a probe laser field and a control laser field. By using the numerical simulation, we find that the magnitude of the transient absorption of the probe field is smaller than the three-level syst...
متن کاملQuantum correlations of two optical fields close to electromagnetically induced transparency.
We show that three-level atoms excited by two cavity modes in a Lambda configuration close to electromagnetically induced transparency can produce strongly squeezed bright beams or correlated beams which can be used for quantum nondemolition measurements. The input intensity is the experimental "knob" for tuning the system into a squeezer or a quantum nondemolition device. The quantum correlati...
