“…There are several advantages of non-resonant atom-field interactions than the resonant one. For example, generation of cat states [145,146] and superposition of number states [141], nondemolition measurement of photon number [145], realization of quantum phase gate [245,246], generation of optical nonlinearity [247], control of heat transfer [248], generation of highly bunched photons [249], reading single-qubit states [250], demonstration of universal quantum copying machine [251] etc. are possible with non-resonant interaction.…”
