Raman adiabatic transfer of optical states in multilevel atoms
- Institute for Quantum Information Science, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, T2N 1N4 (Canada)
We analyze electromagnetically induced transparency and light storage in an ensemble of atoms with multiple excited levels (multi-{lambda} configuration) which are coupled to one of the ground states by quantized signal fields and to the other one via classical control fields. We present a basis transformation of atomic and optical states which reduces the analysis of the system to that of electromagnetically induced transparency in a regular three-level configuration. We demonstrate the existence of dark state polaritons and propose a protocol to transfer quantum information from one optical mode to another by an adiabatic control of the control fields.
