Quantum feedback by discrete quantum nondemolition measurements: Towards on-demand generation of photon-number states
Authors: I. Dotsenko, M. Mirrahimi,M. Brune, S. Haroche, J.-M. Raimond, P. Rouchon Physical Review A, Vol 80 no 1, 013805, 2009 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.80.013805
We propose a quantum feedback scheme for the preparation and protection of photon number states of light trapped in a high-Q microwave cavity. A quantum non-demolition measurement of the cavity field provides information on the photon number distribution. The feedback loop is closed by injecting into the cavity a coherent pulse adjusted to increase the probability of the target photon number. The efficiency and reliability of the closed-loop state stabilization is assessed by quantum Monte-Carlo simulations. We show that, in realistic experimental conditions, Fock states are efficiently produced and protected against decoherence.
