Detuning-induced robustness of a three-state Landau-Zener model against dissipation
2019
A three-state system subjected to a time-dependent Hamiltonian whose bare energies undergo one or more crossings, depending on the relevant parameters, is considered, also taking into account the role of dissipation in the adiabatic following of the Hamiltonian eigenstates. Depending on the fact that the bare energies are equidistant or not, the relevant population transfer turns out to be very sensitive to the environmental interaction or relatively robust. The physical mechanisms on the basis of this behavior are discussed in detail.
GHZ state generation of three Josephson qubits in the presence of bosonic baths
2013
We analyze an entangling protocol to generate tripartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states in a system consisting of three superconducting qubits with pairwise coupling. The dynamics of the open quantum system is investigated by taking into account the interaction of each qubit with an independent bosonic bath with an ohmic spectral structure. To this end a microscopic master equation is constructed and exactly solved. We find that the protocol here discussed is stable against decoherence and dissipation due to the presence of the external baths.
Type I optical parametric oscillators above threshold are perfect squeezers for empty gauss-hermite modes at any pumping level
2007
A type I optical parametric oscillator pumped by a Gaussian beam above threshold and tuned to its first transverse mode family is shown to yield a perfectly squeezed, empty Gauss-Hermite mode at any pumping level.
Quantum noise properties of cavity solitons
2006
General method for studying quantum fluctuations of dissipative structures formed in nonlinear optical cavities is presented. Application to cavity soliton supported by degenerate optical parametric oscillator is presented. Squeezing and intensity fluctuations spectra are discussed.
Quantum Probes for the Characterization of Nonlinear Media
2021
Active optical media leading to interaction Hamiltonians of the form H=λ˜(a+a†)ζ represent a crucial resource for quantum optical technology. In this paper, we address the characterization of those nonlinear media using quantum probes, as opposed to semiclassical ones. In particular, we investigate how squeezed probes may improve individual and joint estimation of the nonlinear coupling λ˜ and of the nonlinearity order ζ. Upon using tools from quantum estimation, we show that: (i) the two parameters are compatible, i.e., the may be jointly estimated without additional quantum noise
Population trapping due to cavity losses
2008
In population trapping the occupation of a decaying quantum level keeps a constant non-zero value. We show that an atom-cavity system interacting with an environment characterized by a non-flat spectrum, in the non-Markovian limit, exhibits such a behavior, effectively realizing the preservation of nonclassical states against dissipation. Our results allow to understand the role of cavity losses in hybrid solid state systems and pave the way to the proper description of leakage in the recently developed cavity quantum electrodynamic systems.
Zeno dynamics and high-temperature master equations beyond secular approximation
2013
Complete positivity of a class of maps generated by master equations derived beyond the secular approximation is discussed. The connection between such class of evolutions and physical properties of the system is analyzed in depth. It is also shown that under suitable hypotheses a Zeno dynamics can be induced because of the high temperature of the bath.
Stability under influence of noise with regulated periodicity
2009
A very simple stochastic differential equation with quasi‐periodical multiplicative noise is investigated analytically. For fixed noise intensity the system can be stable at high noise periodicity and unstable at low noise periodicity.
Noise-enhanced propagation in a dissipative chain of triggers
2002
International audience; We study the influence of spatiotemporal noise on the propagation of square waves in an electrical dissipative chain of triggers. By numerical simulation, we show that noise plays an active role in improving signal transmission. Using the Signal to Noise Ratio at each cell, we estimate the propagation length. It appears that there is an optimum amount of noise that maximizes this length. This specific case of stochastic resonance shows that noise enhances propagation.
Detuning effects in STIRAP processes in the presence of quantum noise
2011
The Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in three-state systems in the presence of quantum noise is considered. A comparison is made between different models, one based on a phenomenological introduction of decays, one traceable back to a microscopic description of the system-environment interaction. Effects related, to off-resonance in the coupling between the involved states are considered.
