Generation of superposed phase states via Raman interaction

摘要

A recent proposal producing superpositions of two truncated phase states in a high-Q microwave cavity has been presented. The scheme was based on dispersive interactions of two-level Rydberg atoms with a single mode field inside a cavity. Here we consider a simplified scheme doing the same, via Raman interaction of the field with degenerate three-level atoms. The extension to 2 K phase states components (K > 1) is discussed.
