Cavity Assisted Nondestructive Laser Cooling of Atomic Qubits
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze two configurations for laser cooling of neutral atoms whose internal states store qubits. The atoms are trapped in an optical lattice which is placed inside a cavity. We show that the coupling of the atoms to the damped cavity mode can provide a mechanism which leads to cooling of the motion without destroying the quantum information.

Cooling distant atoms into steady entanglement via coupled cavities
We propose a scheme for generating steady-state entanglement between two distant atomic qubits in the coupled-cavity system via laser cooling. With suitable choice of the laser frequencies, the target entangled state is the only ground state that is not excited by the lasers due to large detunings. The laser excitations of other ground states, together with dissipative processes, drive the syst...
متن کاملQuantum science based on cavity-assisted atom-photon interactions
A hybrid system of light and matter qubits might allow to scale quantum communication to large distances using quantum repeaters and to increase the number of qubits in quantum computation. To this end, we have experimentally realized a robust two-qubit gate that allows to link distant computational nodes [1, 2]. The gate mechanism is deterministic, robust and expected to be applicable to almos...
متن کاملCavity cooling below the recoil limit.
Conventional laser cooling relies on repeated electronic excitations by near-resonant light, which constrains its area of application to a selected number of atomic species prepared at moderate particle densities. Optical cavities with sufficiently large Purcell factors allow for laser cooling schemes, avoiding these limitations. Here, we report on an atom-cavity system, combining a Purcell fac...
متن کاملCompact extended-cavity diode laser for atomic spectroscopy and metrology
We report on a compact, inexpensive, and durable extended-cavity diode laser ECDL of an original mechanical concept. The independent temperature control of a laser diode and an extended cavity provides a low-frequency drift. The linewidth of a few hundred kilohertz was measured by taking a beating of two identical ECDLs. The continuous tuning range of about 1 Å is achieved by the synchronous sc...
متن کاملSupercooling of Atoms in an Optical Resonator.
We investigate laser cooling of an ensemble of atoms in an optical cavity. We demonstrate that when atomic dipoles are synchronized in the regime of steady-state superradiance, the motion of the atoms may be subject to a giant frictional force leading to potentially very low temperatures. The ultimate temperature limits are determined by a modified atomic linewidth, which can be orders of magni...
