合成自旋轨道相互作用在焦态晶格中产生的介观叠加态

Mesoscopic Superposition States Generated by Synthetic Spin-orbit Interaction in Fock-state Lattices

Da-Wei Wang, Han Cai, Ren-Bao Liu, Marlan O. Scully

摘要:

在三个腔与同一个二能级原子相互作用时,可以制备出光子的介观叠加态。利用$2π/3$相位差对三个腔频率在原子跃迁频率附近进行周期性调制,打破了时间反演对称性,产生了手征性依赖于原子量子态的光环行器。原子态的叠加可以将光子从一个腔引导到另外两个腔的介观叠加。物理学可以在有限的自旋-轨道耦合福克态晶格中理解,其中原子和腔分别携带自旋和轨道自由度。该方案可以在电路QED结构中实现,为在新晶格中探索量子信息和拓扑物理提供了一个新的平台。

英文摘要:

Mesoscopic superposition states of photons can be prepared in three cavities interacting with the same two-level atom. By periodically modulating the three cavity frequencies around the transition frequency of the atom with $2π/3$ phase difference, the time reversal symmetry is broken and an optical circulator is generated with chiralities depending on the quantum state of the atom. A superposition of the atomic states can guide photons from one cavity to a mesoscopic superposition of the other two cavities. The physics can be understood in a finite spin-orbit-coupled Fock-state lattice where the atom and the cavities carry the spin and the orbit degrees of freedom, respectively. This scheme can be realized in circuit QED architectures and provides a new platform for exploring quantum information and topological physics in novel lattices.
