Single-Shot Generation and Detection of a Two-Photon Generalized Binomial State in a Cavity
arXiv:quant-ph/0607207 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.74.045803
Abstract
A "quasi-deterministic" scheme to generate a two-photon generalized binomial state in a single-mode high-Q cavity is proposed. We also suggest a single-shot scheme to measure the generated state based on a probe two-level atom that "reads" the cavity field. The possibility of implementing the schemes is discussed.
