Energy shifts for a multilevel atom in an intense squeezed radiation field
We derive atomic energy-level shifts due to the presence of an electric field associated with an arbitrary quantummechanical state describing an intense, but otherwise arbitrary, radiation field, a particular example of such a state being squeezed radiation from an intense source. In another particular case, in which the radiation is classical and monochromatic, our result reduces to the well-k...
متن کاملTailor - made few - photon state generation from squeezed atoms
This paper develops an idea of manipulating the squeezed atom state to generate a few-photon state whose phase or photon-number fluctuations are prescribed at our disposal. The squeezed atom state is a collective atomic state whose quantum fluctuations in population difference or collective dipole are smaller than those of the coherent atom state. It is shown that the squeezed atom state can be...
متن کاملQuantum Nondemolition Measurement of a Nonclassical State of a Massive Object
By coupling a macroscopic mechanical oscillator to two microwave cavities, we simultaneously prepare and monitor a nonclassical steady state of mechanical motion. In each cavity, correlated radiation pressure forces induced by two coherent drives engineer the coupling between the quadratures of light and motion. We, first, demonstrate the ability to perform a continuous quantum nondemolition me...
متن کاملRadiation Pressure Effects in a Suspended Fabry-Perot Cavity
We report on experimental observation of radiation-pressure induced effects in a highpower optical cavity. These effects play an important role in next generation gravitational wave detectors, as well as quantum non-demolition devices. We describe two experiments in which a low-transmission input mirror and near-perfectly-reflective end mirror are suspended as pendulums. A unified model of opto...
متن کاملPropagation of squeezed radiation through amplifying or absorbing random media
Squeezed radiation is in a state in which one of the quadratures of the electric field fluctuates less than the other [1,2]. Such a nonclassical state is useful, because the fluctuations in the photon flux can be reduced below that of a Poisson process — at the expense of enhanced fluctuations in the phase. Sub-Poissonian noise is a delicate feature of the radiation, it is easily destroyed by t...
