Control of a Nonlocal Entanglement in the Micromaser via Two Quanta Non-Linear Processes Induced by Dynamic Stark Shift.

We show that, under certain conditions, the micromaser can act as an effective source of highly correlated atoms. It is possible to create an extended robust entanglement between two successive, initially unentangled atoms passing through a cavity filled with a nonlinear medium taking into consideration a slight level shift. Information is transferred from the cavity to the atoms in order to build up entanglement. The scheme has an advantage over conventional creation of entanglement if the two atoms (qubits) are so far apart that a direct interaction is difficult to achieve. The interaction of the atoms with the micromaser occurs under the influence of a two-quantum transition process. Interesting phenomena are observed, and an extended robust entangled state is obtained for different values of the system parameters. Illustrative variational calculations are performed to demonstrate the effect within an analytically tractable two-qubit model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
