Entangled states and coherent interaction in resonant media

subject

description

The entanglement features of some solid state materials, as well as of particular systems of interacting atoms and fields are analyzed. A detailed investigation of the rich phase structure of low dimensional spin models, describing the natural mineral azurite and copper based coordination compounds, has revealed regimes with the most robust entanglement behavior. Using the dynamical system approach, the phase structure of some classical models on hierarchical (recursive) lattices has been also studied and, for the first time, the transition between chaotic and periodic regimes by means of tangent bifurcation has been detected.A detailed description of entanglement properties of three atoms trapped in a cavity within the dispersive limit is presented. A relatively simple tunability of the atomic interaction strength of the above system and its close relation to the problems of frustrated magnetism is shown. Furthermore, the propagation effects of two intense laser pulses in a medium of [lambda] atoms with unequal oscillator strengths are investigated. Obtained results are crucial in some problems of quantum information theory, as, e.g., in the analysis of population transfer mechanism in media possessing the above properties. Finally, the dissipation effects in a recently proposed compact continuous-variable entanglement distillation protocol have been analyzed. Despite additional constraints on the parameters of the protocol, the discussed entanglement distillation scheme in quantum memories is still possible to implement within emerging technologies.
