Geração de estados não-clássicos via engenharia dissipativa / Generation of non-classical states via dissipative engineeringTeizen, Victor Fernandes 21 March 2019 (has links)
A geração e proteção de estados quânticos é fundamental para a mecânica quântica. Usualmente, utilizam-se protocolos de engenharia de estados baseados na aplicação sucessiva de transformações unitárias, cuja performance se torna menos efetiva conforme aumenta-se o número de componentes envolvidos nas transformações (já que transformações unitárias dependem de um elevado número de operações ou transformações com alto grau de fidelidade), além de tornarem-se mais vulneráveis a efeitos de flutuações de parâmetros experimentais, efeitos de desordem, decoerência e ruído. Dentre as possíveis estratégias para gerar estados quânticos, existe a chamada engenharia de interações quânticas, na qual pode-se tanto estudar como alterar a maneira a partir da qual sistemas interagem entre si para produzir um determinado estado estacionário desejado, quanto para investigar propriedades dos estados gerados ao se alterar alguma característica de tal interação. Neste trabalho apresentaremos duas propostas para gerar estados não-clássicos via engenharia de reservatórios (engenharia dissipativa) em dois tipos de sistemas distintos. No primeiro, utilizaremos um sistema optomecânico no qual efetua-se engenharia de dissipação a fim de obter hamiltonianos seletivos com os quais é possível preparar-se estados de Fock sob efeitos dissipativos, no qual mostramos o caráter não clássico dos estados obtidos nos regimes de cavidade altos e baixos fatores de qualidade. No segundo, utilizaremos um sistema de spins na qual podemos obter estados não-clássicos (emaranhados) para um sistema com o número de partículas (N) entre 2 e 12 via engenharia de interações quânticas com caráter coletivo, para obter diversos estados, considerando efeitos dissipativos como dissipações térmicas e defasagem, além de considerar a robustez com relação a flutuações em alguns parâmetros experimentais do modelo. / The generation and protection of quantum states is fundamental to quantum mechanics. Usually, state engineering protocols are used based on the successive application of unitary transformations, whose performance becomes less effective as the number of components involved in the transformations increases (as that depends on a large number of high-fidelity operations), in addition to becoming more vulnerable to the effects of fluctuations of experimental parameters , effects of disorder, decoherence and noise. Among the possible strategies to yield quantum states, there is the so-called quantum interaction engineering, in which one can either study how to change the way in which systems interact with each other to produce a desired steady state, or to investigate properties of the engineered states by changing some characteristic of such interaction. In this work we present a proposal to engineer non-classical states through reservoir engineering (dissipative engineering) in two types of systems. In the first one, we will use an optomechanical system in which dissipative engineering is carried out in order to obtain selective Hamiltonians with whom it is possible to prepare Fock states under dissipative effects, in which we show the non-classical character of the states obtained in the good and bad cavity regimes.. In the second, we will use a spin chain system in which we can obtain non-classical (entangled) states for a system with the number of particles (N) between 2 and 12 via quantum interaction engineering with collective character, to obtain several states, taking into account dissipative effects such as thermal dissipation and dephasing, and showing the robustness in relation to fluctuations in some experimental parameters of the model.

Using Quantum Feedback to Control Nonclassical Correlations in Light and AtomsThomsen, Laura Kathrine Wehde, n/a January 2004 (has links)
This thesis considers two types of applications of quantum feedback control; feedback creation of
nonclassical states of light, and controlling nonclassical properties of an ensemble of atoms. An electro-optical feedback loop will create an in-loop field with nonclassical photon statistics similar to squeezed light, resulting in fluorescence line-narrowing of a two-level atom coupled to such light. We extend this theory to study a three-level atom coupled to broadband squashed light, and confirm the two-level atom line-narrowing using a more realistic non-Markovian description of the feedback loop. The second type of application utilizes continuous QND measurement of atomic ensembles. If we measure the collective spin, then the system experiences conditional spin squeezing dependent on the measurement results. We show that feedback based on these results can continuously drive the system into the same conditioned state, resulting in deterministically reproducible spin squeezing. If we measure the atom number fluctuations of a BEC, then, due to the nonlinearity of atomic self interactions, this is also information about phase fluctuations. We show that feedback based on this information can greatly reduce the collisional broadening of the linewidth of an atom laser out-coupled from the condensate.

Solution Methods for Certain Evolution EquationsJanuary 2013 (has links)
abstract: Solution methods for certain linear and nonlinear evolution equations are presented in this dissertation. Emphasis is placed mainly on the analytical treatment of nonautonomous differential equations, which are challenging to solve despite the existent numerical and symbolic computational software programs available. Ideas from the transformation theory are adopted allowing one to solve the problems under consideration from a non-traditional perspective. First, the Cauchy initial value problem is considered for a class of nonautonomous and inhomogeneous linear diffusion-type equation on the entire real line. Explicit transformations are used to reduce the equations under study to their corresponding standard forms emphasizing on natural relations with certain Riccati(and/or Ermakov)-type systems. These relations give solvability results for the Cauchy problem of the parabolic equation considered. The superposition principle allows to solve formally this problem from an unconventional point of view. An eigenfunction expansion approach is also considered for this general evolution equation. Examples considered to corroborate the efficacy of the proposed solution methods include the Fokker-Planck equation, the Black-Scholes model and the one-factor Gaussian Hull-White model. The results obtained in the first part are used to solve the Cauchy initial value problem for certain inhomogeneous Burgers-type equation. The connection between linear (the Diffusion-type) and nonlinear (Burgers-type) parabolic equations is stress in order to establish a strong commutative relation. Traveling wave solutions of a nonautonomous Burgers equation are also investigated. Finally, it is constructed explicitly the minimum-uncertainty squeezed states for quantum harmonic oscillators. They are derived by the action of corresponding maximal kinematical invariance group on the standard ground state solution. It is shown that the product of the variances attains the required minimum value only at the instances that one variance is a minimum and the other is a maximum, when the squeezing of one of the variances occurs. Such explicit construction is possible due to the relation between the diffusion-type equation studied in the first part and the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. A modication of the radiation field operators for squeezed photons in a perfect cavity is also suggested with the help of a nonstandard solution of Heisenberg's equation of motion. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences 2013

Previous issue date: 2015 / Resumo: Na primeira parte deste trabalho seguimos os estudos de Hirota e colaboradores e definimos quatro estados quase-Bell baseados em estados coerentes comprimidos da luz. Dois desses estados são maximamente emaranhados, enquanto o emaranhamento dos outros dois depende apenas da sobreposição entre os estados coerentes comprimidos que os compõem. A partir destes estados quase-Bell, definimos novos estados interpolados cujo emaranhamento é também governado por um parâmetro de interpolação adicional e estudamos algumas das propriedades destes estados (emaranhamento e eficiência energética). Por fim, usamos estes estados e definimos alguns estados de Werner, com os quais analisamos de forma simples uma possível influência de um ambiente dissipativo parametrizado pela probabilidade de o estado de Werner estar em sua forma emaranhada ou misturada. Para esta análise usamos os conceitos de separabilidade e emaranhamento. Na segunda parte estudamos a estimativa de fase quântica usando estados gaussianos puros (estados coerentes comprimidos). Iniciamos com a estimativa da fase introduzida por um operador unitário em cujo hamiltoniano está presente uma perturbação linear nos operadores de criação e aniquilação, além do operador de número de fótons responsável pela evolução de fase (perturbação linear unitária). Obtemos quais são os estados gaussianos ótimos para a estimativa desta fase e analisamos a optimalidade da detecção homódina. A seguir, consideramos o parâmetro de perturbação como uma variável aleatória que obedece a uma distribuição gaussiana de probabilidades (perturbação linear aleatória) e novamente obtemos os estados de sonda ótimos e analisamos a optimalidade da detecção homódina. Por fim, estudamos a estimativa de fase com perturbação linear unitária utilizando os estados quase-Bell interpolados definidos na primeira parte deste trabalho e verificamos que a utilização de emaranhamento permite uma melhor estimativa de fase para uma mesma energia disponível / Abstract: In the first part of this work we follow the studies of Hirota and collaborators and we define four quasi-Bell states based on squeezed coherent states of light. Two of these states are maximally entangled, while the entanglement of the other two depends only on the overlap between the squeezed coherent states that were combined. From these quasi-Bell states we define new interpolated states for which the entanglement is also governed by an additional interpolation parameter, and we study some of the properties of these states (entanglement and energy efficiency). Finally, we use these states to define some Werner states, which we use to study in a simple way the possible influence of some dissipative environment parameterized by the probability that the Werner state is entangled or mixed. For this analysis we use the concepts of separability and entanglement. In the second part, we study the quantum phase estimation using pure Gaussian states (squeezed coherent states). We begin with the estimation of the phase introduced by a unitary operator whose Hamiltonian also contains a disturbance that is linear in the creation and annihilation operators in addition to the photon number operator responsible for the phase evolution (unitary linear disturbance). We find what are the optimal Gaussian states for this phase estimation and we also analyze the optimality of the homodyne detection. Next, we consider the disturbance parameter to be a random variable submitted to a Gaussian distribution (random linear disturbance) and again we find what are the optimal probe states and analyze the optimality of the homodyne detection. Finally we study the phase estimation with unitary linear disturbance using the interpolated quasi-Bell states defined in the first part of this work and we verify that the use of entanglement leads to a better phase estimation for the same amount of available energy / Doutorado / Física / Doutor em Ciências / 2011/00220-5 / FAPESP

The ultrastrong coupling regime as a resource for the generation of nonclassical states of light / Le couplage ultrafort, une ressource pour la génération d'états non-classiques de la lumièreFedortchenko, Sergueï 28 September 2017 (has links)
Depuis l’avènement de la mécanique quantique, l’étude des interactions lumière-matière à l’échelle quantique s’est énormément développée en tant que domaine de recherche. Par exemple, grâce à des prédictions théoriques surprenantes, des interactions d’une force sans précédant ont été démontrées entre de la matière et des radiations terahertz et microonde. Ces résultats correspondent à un régime dit de couplage ultrafort, atteint lorsque l’énergie d’interaction devient comparable aux énergies propres de la lumière et de la matière lorsque celles-ci n’interagissent pas. Dans ce régime, des propriétés intrigantes peuvent subsister telles que la présence de photons même lors qu’aucune énergie n’est fournie au système. Cependant, ces photons ne peuvent, a priori, être émis du système vers l’extérieur de manière à pouvoir être mesurés et par conséquent démontrer ces propriétés.Dans cette thèse, nous avons étudié ces propriétés intrigantes et proposé plusieurs moyens permettant d’y accéder expérimentalement. Nous nous sommes appuyés sur plusieurs plate-formes physiques qui sont de bon candidats pour ces études, et pour chacun de ces systèmes nous avons mis au point un modèle mettant en évidence ces propriétés d’une manière ou d’une autre. De cette façon, nous avons exploré le lien entre le régime de couplage ultrafort et la génération d’états non-classiques de la lumière. En outre, dans une étude plus ouverte nous avons montré que les interactions lumière- matière dans l’une de ces plate-formes peuvent être utilisés pour concevoir des protocols de communication quantique. En plus de montrer un intérêt fondamental, nos résultats s’inscrivent dans une optique de développement d’applications pour les technologies quantiques en utilisant différents systèmes expérimentaux disponibles actuellement / Since the advent of quantum mechanics, the study of light-matter interactions at thequantum level has been greatly developed as a research field. For instance, surprisingtheoretical predictions gave rise to experiments with unprecedented interactionstrengths between matter, and terahertz and microwave radiations. These results correspondto the so-called ultrastrong coupling regime, that is reached when the interactionenergy becomes comparable to the typical energies of the light and matter when they arenot interacting. In this regime, intriguing properties can be found such as the presenceof photons even when no energy is given to the system. However, these photons cannot,a priori, be emitted from the system to the outside world in order to be measured andtherefore demonstrate these properties. In this thesis, we studied these intriguing properties and proposed several means toaccess them experimentally. We relied on several physical platforms which are goodcandidates for such studies, and for each one of these systems we devised a model thatcan evidence these properties one way or another. By doing so, we explored the linkbetween the ultrastrong coupling regime and the generation of nonclassical states oflight. Additionally, as an outlook we showed that the light-matter interactions in oneof these platforms could be used to design quantum communication protocols. On topof showing fundamental interest, our results fit in the line of developing applications forquantum technologies using different experimentally available systems.
