A Bootstrapping Approach for Generating Maximally Path-Entangled Photon States

چکیده
We propose a bootstrapping approach to generation of maximally path-entangled states of photons, so called “NOON states”, achievable within the current experimental technology. Strong atom-light interaction of cavity QED can be employed to generate NOON states with about 100 photons; which can then be used to boost the existing experimental Kerr nonlinearities based on quantum coherence effects to facilitate NOON generation with arbitrarily large number of photons. We also offer an alternative scheme that uses an atom-cavity dispersive interaction to obtain sufficiently high Kerr-nonlinearity necessary for arbitrary NOON generation.

متن کاملGenerating entangled atom-photon pairs from bose-einstein condensates
We propose using spontaneous Raman scattering from an optically driven Bose-Einstein condensate as a source of atom-photon pairs whose internal states are maximally entangled. Generating entanglement between a particle which is easily transmitted (the photon) and one which is easily trapped and coherently manipulated (an ultracold atom) will prove useful for a variety of quantum-information rel...
متن کاملOptimizing the multiphoton absorption properties of maximally path-entangled number states
In this paper we examine the N-photon absorption properties of maximally path-entangled number states N00N states . We consider two cases. The first involves the N-photon absorption properties of the ideal N00N state, one that does not include spectral information. We study how the N-photon absorption probability of this state scales with N, confirming results presented by others in a previous ...
متن کاملGeneration and Manipulation of Entanglement in Quantum Optical Systems
In this thesis, we introduce and evaluate several new procedures for the generation and manipulation of entangled states in quantum optical systems. Each is evaluated in terms of realistic models of the imperfect apparatus of any real laboratory implementation. First we consider atoms interacting with optical cavities. We describe a method of generating maximally entangled states in two separat...
متن کاملThe generation of entangled photon states by using linear optical elements
We present a scheme to generate the polarization-entangled two-photon state 1 √ 2 (|H〉|V 〉+ |V 〉|H〉), which is of much interest in the field of quantum information processing. Furthermore we demonstrate the capability of this concept in respect of a generalization to entangle N -photon states for interferometry and lithography. This scheme requires single-photon sources, linear optical elements...
