A cavity quantum electrodynamical scenario is proposed for implementing a Schrodinger microscope capable of amplifying differences between non orthogonal atomic quantum states. The scheme involves an ensemble of identically prepared two-level atoms interacting pairwise with a single mode of the radiation field as described by the Tavis-Cummings model. By repeated measurements of the cavity field and of one atom within each pair a measurement-induced nonlinear quantum transformation of the relevant atomic states can be realized. The intricate dynamical properties of this nonlinear quantum transformation, which exhibits measurement-induced chaos, allows approximate orthogonalization of atomic states by purification after a few iterations of the protocol, and thus the application of the scheme for quantum state discrimination.
In this paper, we investigate the effect of different optical field initial states on the performance of Tavis-Cummings(T-C) quantum battery. In solving the dynamical evolution of the system, we found a fast way to solve the Bethe ansatz equation. We find that the stored energy and the average charging power of the T-C quantum battery are closely related to the probability distribution of the optical field initial state in the number states. We define a quantity called the number state stored energy. With this prescribed quantity, we only need to know the probability distribution of the optical field initial state in the number states to obtain the stored energy and the average charging power of the T-C quantum battery at any moment. We propose an equal probability and equal expected value allocation method by which we can obtain two inequalities, and the two inequalities can be reduced to Jensens inequalities. By this method, we found the optimal initial state of the optical field. We found that the maximum stored energy and the maximum average charging power of the T-C quantum battery are proportional to the initial average photon number. The quantum battery can be fully charged when the initial average photon number is large enough. We found two novel phenomena, which can be described by two empirical inequalities. These two novel phenomena reflect the hypersensitivity of the stored energy of the T-C quantum battery to the number-state cavity field.
We theoretically study the conditions under which two laser fields can undergo Coherent Perfect Absorption (CPA) when shined on a single-mode bi-directional optical cavity coupled with two two- level quantum emitters (natural atoms, artificial atoms, quantum dots, qubits, etc.). In addition to being indirectly coupled through the cavity-mediated field, in our Tavis-Cummings model the two quantum emitters (QEs) are allowed to interact directly via the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI). Under the mean-field approximation and low-excitation assumption, in this work, we particularly focus on the impact of DDI on the existence of CPA in the presence of decoherence mechanisms (spontaneous emission from the QEs and the leakage of photons from the cavity walls). We also present a dressed-state analysis of the problem to discuss the underlying physics related to the allowed polariton state transitions in the Jaynes-Tavis-Cummings ladder. As a key result, we find that in the strong-coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics, the strong DDI and the emitter-cavity detuning can act together to achieve the CPA at two laser frequencies tunable by the inter-atomic separation which are not possible to attain with a single QE in the presence of detuning. Our CPA results are potentially applicable in building quantum memories that are an essential component in long-distance quantum networking.
Quantum phase transitions play an important role in many-body systems and have been a research focus in conventional condensed matter physics over the past few decades. Artificial atoms, such as superconducting qubits that can be individually manipulated, provide a new paradigm of realising and exploring quantum phase transitions by engineering an on-chip quantum simulator. Here we demonstrate experimentally the quantum critical behaviour in a highly-controllable superconducting circuit, consisting of four qubits coupled to a common resonator mode. By off-resonantly driving the system to renormalise the critical spin-field coupling strength, we have observed a four-qubit non-equilibrium quantum phase transition in a dynamical manner, i.e., we sweep the critical coupling strength over time and monitor the four-qubit scaled moments for a signature of a structural change of the systems eigenstates. Our observation of the non-equilibrium quantum phase transition, which is in good agreement with the driven Tavis-Cummings theory under decoherence, offers new experimental approaches towards exploring quantum phase transition related science, such as scaling behaviours, parity breaking and long-range quantum correlations.
We derive an analytical approximate solution of the time-dependent state vector in terms of material Bell states and coherent states of the field for a generalized two-atom Tavis-Cummings model with nonlinear intensity dependent matter-field interaction. Using this solution, we obtain simple expressions for the atomic concurrence and purity in order to study the entanglement in the system at specific interaction times. We show how to implement entangling atomic operations through measurement of the field. We illustrate how these operations can lead to a complete Bell measurement. Furthermore, when considering two orthogonal states of the field as levels of a third qubit, it is possible to implement a unitary three-qubit gate capable of generating authentic tripartite entangled states such as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and the W-state. As an example of the generic model, we present an ion-trap setting employing the quantized mode of the center of mass motion instead the photonic field, showing that the implementation of realistic entangling operations from intrinsic nonlinear matter-field interactions is indeed possible.
The quality of controlling a system of optical cavities in the Tavis-Cummings-Hubbard (TCH) model is estimated with the examples of quantum gates, quantum walks on graphs, and of the detection of singlet states. This type of control of complex systems is important for quantum computing, for the optical interpretation of mechanical movements, and for quantum cryptography, where singlet states of photons and charges play an essential role. It has been found that the main reason for the decrease of the control quality in the THC model is due to the finite width of the atomic spectral lines, which is itself related to the time energy uncertainty relation. This paper evaluates the quality of a CSign-type quantum gate based on asynchronous atomic excitations and on the optical interpretation of the motion of a free particle.
