Atomic state teleportation: from internal to external degrees of freedom

We suggest a simple method to teleport an unknown superposition of the atomic internal state of a two-level atom onto transverse atomic momenta of another atom during its flight. The scheme relies on the standard cavity QED techniques and is inherently deterministic with sufficiently high fidelity for the teleported state. It is further shown that the procedure can be straightforwardly extended to remotely tune in the probability amplitudes of any atomic momenta multipartite entangled state.     

Direct Evidence of Macroscopic Quantum Effects at High Temperature

We present experiments on macroscopic quantum effects in Josephson junctions with different relevant junction parameters at a temperature well above the classical-quantum crossover temperature. This has been possible by extending the measurements on the escape rate out of the metastable state at higher sweeping frequency (dI/dt up to 100 A/sec.) in order to induce non-stationary conditions in the energy potential describing the junction dynamics. The non-stationary regime for the system allows a direct observation of energy level quantitation when the rate of change of the external energy, measured in terms of the level spacing, is fast with respect to the thermal transitions between levels.     

Realization of optimal symmetric universal and phase-covariant quantum cloning with quantum dot spins in cavity QED

We present a scheme to implement a special quantum cloning machine with quantum dot spins in cavity QED. The quantum cloning machine copies the information from a photon to other two distant quantum dots trapped in cavities with the help of a single-photon pulse. Choosing the different parameters, the scheme can implement optimal symmetric 1?→?2 universal, optimal symmetric 1?→?2 phase-covariant and optimal symmetric economical 1?→?3 phase-covariant quantum cloning machines. The present scheme is more economical in saving resource compared with previous schemes.     

Perspectives of an Experiment for Detecting Macroscopic Quantum Coherence

In the second half of 1993 we presented to INFN a proposal of an experiment for detecting macroscopic quantum coherence with a system of SQUIDs. It was based essentially on ideas presented first by Leggett and collaborators and developed in many articles in the 1980s. The experimental work started in the 1994 just after the approval of the INFN. As an introduction, the experimental method and the setup we choose in order to perform a set of measurements on a system of SQUIDs is described. Then the measuring procedures and their purposes are explained and discussed.As a future perspective, a possible test on the existence of the quantum gravity is discussed. According to a theoretical proposal by John Ellis and collaborators, the quantum gravitational friction could induce the transition from QM behavior of microscopic states to the classical behavior of macroscopic states, i.e., states containing an Avogadro number (M _pl/M _e ) of elementary particles, as may be obtained in a SQUID.     

Quantum trapping conditions for three-level atom flying through bimodal cavity field

A new trapping effect of a three-level atom in interaction with a bimodal cavity field is proposed. This problem consists of the possibility for realization of initially separated states of an atom and an electromagnetic field after interaction. The quantum properties of a bimodal field, which satisfy the reversible conditions for the atom flying through the cavity, were studied.     

Frozen geometric discord in dissipative cavity quantum electrodynamics system

We investigate the dynamics of geometric quantum correlations for certain decoherence channels and discuss the necessary conditions for the existence of frozen geometric discord. As illustrative examples, we study the phenomenon of double sudden transitions in geometric discord for a system consisting of two noninteracting atoms inserted in two independent dissipative cavities and how the initial state parameters and decay rate of dissipative cavities affect the frozen time during which the geometric discord remains constant. We also explore the dynamics of geometric discord between two noninteracting atoms trapped in a common dissipative cavity and find that the geometric discord exhibits sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence. Moreover, a nonzero stationary geometric discord can arise in both the independent cavity case and common cavity case.     

Enhancement of discord and entanglement with detuning for two coupled quantum dots in a driven cavity

We study the quantum discord for a system of two identical coupled quantum dots interacting with quantized cavity field in the presence of cavity as well as dot decay and detuning. The cavity is externally driven by a coherent light. These results are compared with the entanglement of the quantum dots in various parameter regimes in which system may or may not show bistability. We show that the discord in the steady state is nonzero for any nonzero cavity field amplitude. The system has higher discord in the upper branch of the bistability curve where the entanglement is zero. We also find many other interesting results including high discord and entanglement in the presence of detuning, a phenomenon which we further examine by approximating the density matrix in the appropriate limit.     

Geometric phase in cavity QED containing a nonlinear optical medium and a quantum well

The geometric phase (GP) in cavity QED filled with a nonlinear medium and containing a quantum well is analyzed. We observe collapses and revivals. The optical nonlinearity leads to high frequency oscillations of the GP. The GP is very sensitive not only to the dissipation rates but also to the amplitude of the laser pump.     

Optical force and friction of a V-type three-level atom in a driven high-Q cavity

A model is presented to calculate the optical force and friction for a three-level atom in a V-type configuration in a weakly driven high-finesse cavity. Analytical expressions for the force and friction are derived using Heisenberg equations. It is demonstrated that the cooling rate can be increased by one order of magnitude over that of a two-level atomic system, which would stimulate further experimental investigations.     

Quantum coherence effects in a Raman amplifier

We have studied optical pulse propagation in a Raman fiber amplifier doped with a three-level medium and driven by a control laser pulse. We analyze the spatial-temporal dynamics of pulse propagation for different atomic initial conditions. The propagation of an optical pulse through the amplifier can be sustained by a control laser that induces transparency via quantum coherence, which is useful for extending the distance between optical repeaters. Under certain conditions, amplification is achieved without population inversion. The results could be useful for laser control of optical pulses in amplifiers and waveguides.     

A Time Scale for Quantum Jumps

Experimental observations of quantum jumps suggest that one can associate a time scale shorter than the usual lifetime with quantum transitions. Two such scales are discussed here, and their relation to experiments and to other theoretical ideas is explored.
