Generation of two-mode squeezed states for two separated atomic ensembles via coupled cavities

Abstract

We propose an efficient scheme for the generation of two-mode squeezed states for two separated atomic ensembles trapped in distant cavities. The scheme is based on selective couplings between the collective atomic modes and two linearly transformed common field modes mediated by an optical fiber or a third cavity. The quanta of the transformed atomic modes are exhausted due to the linear coupling with the transformed field modes, bringing the original atomic modes into the two-mode squeezed states. The experimental implementation of the scheme would be an important step toward quantum communication and networking with continuous variables.
