Quantum-state transfer between atom and cavity field in Jaynes-Cummings model

Abstract: We present a scheme for transferring quantum state between atom and cavity field in Jaynes-Cummings model. It is based on the fact that the atom in a cavity can induce the generation of modified coherent states, which can be shown to be macroscopically distinguishable. The application on two-cavity system provides an alternative scheme for preparation of non-local superpositions of quasi-classical light states. Numerical simulation shows that the proposed schemes are efficient.
