Quantum correlated light pulses from sequential superradiance of a condensate

Abstract

We discover an inherent mechanism for entanglement swap associated with sequential superradiance from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. Based on careful examinations with both analytical and numerical approaches, we conclude that as a result of the swap mechanism, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-type quantum correlations can be detected among the scattered light pulses. © 2009 The American Physical Society.
