Framework for complex quantum state generation and coherent control based on on-chip frequency combs
2018
Integrated frequency combs introduce a scalable framework for the generation and manipulation of complex quantum states (including multi-photon and high-dimensional states), using only standard silicon chip and fiber telecommunications components.
A class of weak pseudo-bosons and their bi-coherent states
2022
In this paper we extend some previous results on weak pseudo-bosons and on their related bi-coherent states. The role of {\em compatible} functions is discussed in details, and some examples are considered. The pseudo-bosonic ladder operators analysed in this paper generalize significantly those considered so far, and a class of new diagonalizable manifestly non self-adjoint Hamiltonians are deduced.
One-sided atomic deflection in the optical Stern-Gerlach effect and coherent trapping
2002
In the optical Stern-Gerlach effect, the interaction of a traveling two-level atom with the electromagnetic field of an optical cavity causes a splitting of the atomic trajectory. One may ask if it is possible to single out particular initial configurations of the system that will lead to selective scattering, in which the atoms follow only one trajectory. We show that these configurations consist of a coherent superposition of the atomic internal states, and of a field phase state or a field coherent state, with a precise phase relation between the two subsystems: The same configurations which produce the so-called atomic coherent trapping in the Jaynes-Cummings model.
Pseudo-bosons and Riesz Bi-coherent States
2016
After a brief review on D-pseudo-bosons we introduce what we call Riesz bi-coherent states, which are pairs of states sharing with ordinary coherent states most of their features. In particular, they produce a resolution of the identity and they are eigenstates of two different annihilation operators which obey pseudo-bosonic commutation rules.
Giant Quantum Oscillators from Rydberg Atoms: Atomic Coherent States and Their Squeezing from Rydberg Atoms
1989
This paper summarises work since about 1979 by all the authors indicated: RKB is given prominence only because he bears the responsibility for the present paper. All the work has proved relevant to Rydberg atoms. Here we lay particular stress on recent results for squeezing by Rydberg atoms.
Generation of Pair Coherent States in Two-dimensional Trapped Ion
2001
We consider a two-dimensional (2D) trapped ion model in which two laser beams drive the corresponding vibrational motions and are carrier resonant with the two-level of the ion. Due to the coherent superposition of two sub-Rabi oscillations involved in the bimodal vibrations, the Rabi frequency degeneration and offset may occur in this model. This provides the possibility of generating the pair coherent state in the 2D trapped ion.
Coherent and squeezed vibrations for discrete variable harmonic oscillators
2009
In this work we study different types of coherent and squeezed states for the Charlier, Kravchuk and Meixner oscillators. We calculate the average values of different observables corresponding to the coherent states. We found that the coherent and squeezed states of the Kravchuk oscillator are unstable. There are also coherent and squeezed states that are similar to the coherent and squeezed states of the harmonic oscillator. We have introduced a discrete variable model for the biophoton coherent radiation, and the coherent thermal and squeezed thermal states. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.
Quantum Disorder in Macroscopic Systems of Interacting Atoms and Radiation Fields
1978
The linear interaction between a system of two-level atoms and an electromagnetic field can be described as taking place through a number of elementary acts in which photons are absorbed or emitted, while atoms change their states. It is conceivable that these processes tend to modify the original statistical properties characteristic of the atomic system and of the electromagnetic field at t = 0, when we assume that the interaction is “turned on”. The problem is of conceptual importance, and might become of practical importance in connection with laser processes in unusual ranges of frequency. In fact, it has recently received increasing attention in the case of one-photon interactions [1]…
Journeys from quantum optics to quantum technology
2017
Sir Peter Knight is a pioneer in quantum optics which has now grown to an important branch of modern physics to study the foundations and applications of quantum physics. He is leading an effort to develop new technologies from quantum mechanics. In this collection of essays, we recall the time we were working with him as a postdoc or a PhD student and look at how the time with him has influenced our research.
An application of the arithmetic euler function to the construction of nonclassical states of a quantum harmonic oscillator
2001
Abstract All quantum superpositions of two equal intensity coherent states exhibiting infinitely many zeros in their Fock distributions are explicitly constructed and studied. Our approach is based on results from number theory and, in particular, on the properties of arithmetic Euler function. The nonclassical nature of these states is briefly pointed out. Some interesting properties are brought to light.
