速度调控的双原子纠缠

Velocity-controlled entanglement of two atoms

当光学腔中光场处于相干态,而原子处于运动中时,双原子的纠缠演化与光学腔场模结构相关联.假如初始时刻原子的位置固定在腔中某一位置,双原子的纠缠演化将是无序的.然而,假如一开始双原子在光学腔相干态光场中处于运动状态,则双原子的纠缠随时间的变化将变得规则有序,如此,通过适当的选择双原子的速度和初始光场,就能对双原子的周期性纠缠进行控制,让纠缠在指定时刻出现.

Entanglement evolution of two atoms is related to the field mode structure in an optical resonant cavity when the atoms are moving and the optical field is in coherent state. We know the evolvement of entanglement of two atoms is disorderly when two atoms in the cavity are fixed at initial time. However, the evolvement of entanglement of two atoms becomes well-regulated orderly under the coherent cavity field when atoms are in motion at beginning. We find that it is possible to control this periodic entanglement by properly choosing the velocity of atoms and the initial field.
