Preparation of Two-Qutrit Entangled State in Cavity QED

We propose a scheme to generate a 3 x 3-dimensional maximally entangled state of two particles. Two three-level atoms interact with a strongly detuned cavity so that the cavity is only virtually excited and efficient decoherence time of the cavity is greatly prolonged. Compared to other protocols, this protocol is simpler and has a higher fidelity.     

Quantum State Sharing of an Arbitrary Two-Atom State by Using a?Six-Atom Cluster State in Cavity QED

We demonstrate that a six-atom cluster state can be used to realize the deterministic quantum state sharing of an arbitrary two-atom state in cavity QED. The scheme does not involve Bell-state measurement and is insensitive to both the cavity decay and the thermal field. In our scheme, any one of the two agents is sufficient to reconstruct the original state under the condition that he/she obtains the help of the other one, but only one of them cannot.     

Preparation and Decoherence of Two-Atom Entangled States in a Dissipative Cavity

We present a scheme for generating four pairs of two-atom Einstein Podolsky-Rosen （EPR） states using the simultaneous interaction of the two atoms with a single-mode cavity field under a large detuning condition. The influence of cavity dissipation on the prepared EPR states is investigated by means of the superoperator method and the state fidelity. It is shown that some kinds of the prepared EPR states are robust against cavity dissipation and the intensity of the field, and maintain their entanglement invariance, and the others are fragile and completely destroyed by the action of cavity dissipation and the intensity of the field in the long-time limit. Decoherence time of the fragile entangled states is extremely small for a typical cavity-QED experimental data.     

Revisiting “Quantum State Sharing of an Arbitrary Two-Atom State by Using a Six-Atom Cluster State in Cavity QED”

In Nie et al. (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 50: 2526, 2011), authors put forward a cavity QED scheme for deterministic quantum state sharing (QSTS) of an arbitrary two-atom state. They claimed that, the quantum channel of the QSTS scheme is a six-atom cluster state. After simple calculation, one can see that the quantum channel they used is a direct product of two three-atom GHZ states. In this paper, we propose a cavity QED scheme for QSTS of an arbitrary two-atom state via a six-atom cluster state channel. In our scheme, two two-atom Bell state measurements are transformed into the discrimination of single-atom product states. Moreover, the two-atom unitary operation is changed to single-qubit unitary operations. Our scheme is insensitive to the cavity decay. The necessary time for the scheme is much shorter than the Rydberg-atom lifespan, therefore atom decays do not need to be considered.     

Nonlocal Gate of a Quantum Network via Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to realize the nonlocal gate between two different nodes of a quantum network. With an entanglement-qubit acts as a quantum channel, our scheme is resist to actual environment noise and can get a high fidelity in current cavity quantum electrodynamics （C-QED） system.     

Generation of a Dark Hollow Beam inside a Cavity

A new method is introduced to generate a hollow beam inside a cavity.Using a matrix eigenvalue method,the laser resonator with optical diffraction elements is theoretically analysed and simulated.The hollow beam can be obtained theoretically by controlling the parameters of the diffraction functions.After designed the diffraction components in the cavity,a hollow beam of good quality is realized experimentally using a YAG solid state laser.     

Scheme for Generating a χ-Type Four-Atom Entangled State in Cavity QED

We propose a scheme for generating a χ-type four-atom entangled state in cavity QED. In the present scheme, the atoms interact simultaneously with a highly detuned cavity mode with the assistance of a strong classical field. The scheme is insensitive to the cavity decay and the thermal field, which is of importance from the experimental point of view.     

Preparation of the W State of Atoms in a Single Cavity or N Distant Cavities by Photon Interference

We suggest two schemes to generate the W state of N A-type three-level atoms. In the schemes, identical N three-level atoms are trapped in a cavity or N distant cavities. The success or failure of the generation of the W state can be determined by detecting the polarization of photon leaking out of the cavity. The result demonstrates that the W state is free from both the cavity loss and the spontaneous emission due to the fact that the two ground states (left and right) of the three-level atoms are stable states (or metastable states).     

Geometric Phase in a Cavity QED with Cold Atoms Trapped in?a?Double-Well Potential

We have studied the geometric phase in a cavity QED with cold atoms trapped in a double-well potential. It is found that the geometric phase in a cycle case is independent of the driven field.     

Effective Scheme for Generating Cluster States in Cavity QED

We propose a scheme to prepare many two-mode cavities into one-dimensional cluster states in the context of cavity QED. The left-circularly polarized state and right-circularly polarized state of the cavity are encoded as the logic zero and one of the qubits. In the scheme, the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed, and the fidelity is unaffected by the cavity decay on the assumption that the detection efficiencies of all the photondetectors are 1.     

Effective scheme for generating cluster states in optical cavity QED

In this Letter, we propose a scheme to generate atomic cluster states in optical cavity QED. In the scheme, the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed, and the fidelity is not affected by the imperfection of detection efficiency. We further research the successful probability and the fidelity via numerical simulation by considering the influence of the possible noise.     

Cluster-type entangled coherent states

We present the cluster-type entangled coherent states (CTECS) and discuss their properties. A cavity QED generation scheme using suitable choices of atom-cavity interactions, obtained via detunings adjustments and the application of classical external fields, is also presented. After the realization of simple atomic measurements, CTECS representing nonlocal electromagnetic fields in separate cavities can be generated.     

Spin squeezing and entanglement via hole-burning in atomic coherent states

We study the generation of spin squeezing via the hole burning of selected Dicke states out of an atomic coherent state prepared for a collection of N two-level atoms or ions. The atoms or ions of the atomic coherent state are not entangled, but the removal of one or more Dicke states generates entanglement, and spin squeezing occurs for some ranges of the relevant parameters. Spin squeezing in a collection of two-level atoms or ions is of importance for precision spectroscopy.     

Entanglement sudden death in qubit-qutrit systems

We demonstrate the existence of entanglement sudden death (ESD), the complete loss of entanglement in finite time, in qubit-qutrit systems. In particular, ESD is shown to occur in such systems initially prepared in a one-parameter class of entangled mixed states and then subjected to local dephasing noise. Together with previous results, this proves the existence of ESD for some states in all quantum systems for which rigorously defined mixed-state entanglement measures have been identified. We conjecture that ESD exists in all quantum systems prepared in appropriate bipartite states.     

Entanglement dynamics of coupled qubits and a semi-decoherence free subspace

We study the entanglement dynamics and relaxation properties of a system of two interacting qubits in the cases of (I) two independent bosonic baths and (II) one common bath. We find that in the case (II) the existence of a decoherence-free subspace (DFS) makes entanglement dynamics very rich. We show that when the system is initially in a state with a component in the DFS the relaxation time is surprisingly long, showing the existence of semi-decoherence free subspaces.     

Entanglement swapping,light cones and elements of reality

Recently, a number of two-participant all-versus-nothing Bell experiments have been proposed. Here, we give local realistic explanations for these experiments. More precisely, we examine the scenario where a participant swaps his entanglement with two other participants and then is removed from the experiment; we also examine the scenario where two particles are in the same light cone, i.e. belong to a single participant. Our conclusion is that, in both cases, the proposed experiments are not convincing proofs against local realism.     

Entanglement of three-level trapped ions with phonon trap modes

The entanglement between a single electron in the electronic states of a trapped three-level ion and the ionic vibrational modes of the trap is studied for an initially unentangled state of an electron level and a coherent phonon state. The effects of time-independent and time-dependent couplings are discussed.
