Manipulating Optically Dark States for Quantum Logic

Authors: K. B. Whaley; CALIFORNIA UNIV BERKELEY DEPT OF CHEMISTRY
Abstract:
We have investigated the use of optically dark states for quantum information processing. We have developed a systematic theoretical approach relating atomic dark states to decoherence-free subspaces and have shown that single qubit manipulations on such dark states are possible to realize with realistic pulse times. We have found a multi-atom dark state in N-atom/cavity systems that can be used to develop an adiabatic ramping scheme to produce N- photon states on demand.
