Photon gates in atomic ensembles
Quantum computers operate with qubits, which are entities that can be in the state |0〉, state |1〉 or any superposition (linear combination) of those. One of the essential parts of a quantum computer is a controlled two-qubit gate. An example of such gate is the controlled phase gate, which imparts a phase of π (i.e. multiplies by −1) to the state, where both qubits are in |1〉. In this thesis we...
متن کاملCoherent Photon Manipulation in Interacting Atomic Ensembles
Coupling photons to Rydberg excitations in a cold atomic gas yields unprecedentedly large optical nonlinearities at the level of individual light quanta. Here, the basic mechanism exploits the strong interactions between Rydberg atoms to block the formation of nearby dark-state polaritons. However, the dissipation associated with this mechanism ultimately limits the performance of many practica...
متن کاملQuantum and Nonlinear Optics in Strongly Interacting Atomic Ensembles
Coupling light to ensembles of strongly interacting particles has emerged as a promising route toward achieving few photon nonlinearities. One specific way to implement this kind of nonlinearity is to interface light with highly excited atomic Rydberg states by means of electromagnetically induced transparency, an approach which allows freely propagating photons to acquire synthetic interaction...
متن کاملCoherent Transport of Single Photon in a Quantum Super-cavity with Mirrors Composed of Λ-Type Three-level Atomic Ensembles
In this paper, we study the coherent transport of single photon in a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) where two threelevel Λ-type atomic ensembles are embedded in two separate cavities. We show that it is possible to control the photon transmission and reflection coefficients by using classical control fields. In particular, we find that the total photon transmission and reflection are achieva...
متن کاملEntanglement of atomic ensembles by trapping correlated photon states
We describe a general technique that allows for an ideal transfer of quantum correlations between light fields and metastable states of matter. The technique is based on trapping quantum states of photons in coherently driven atomic media, in which the group velocity is adiabatically reduced to zero. We discuss possible applications such as quantum state memories, generation of squeezed atomic ...
