Phase-imprinted multiphoton subradiant states
arXiv:1706.00888 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.96.023814
Abstract
We propose to generate the multiphoton subradiant states and investigate their fluorescences in an array of two-level atoms. These multiphoton states are created initially from the timed-Dicke states. Then we can use either a Zeeman or Stark field gradient pulse to imprint linearly increasing phases on the atoms, and this phase-imprinting process unitarily evolves the system to the multiphoton subradiant states. The fluorescence engages a long-range dipole-dipole interaction which originates from a system-reservoir coupling in the dissipation. We locate some of the subradiant multiphoton states from the eigenmodes, and show that an optically thick atomic array is best for the preparation of the state with the most reduced decay rate. This phase-imprinting process enables quantum state engineering of the multiphoton subradiant states, and realizes a potential quantum storage of the photonic qubits in the two-level atoms.
