Abstract:We consider a new approach for storing quantum information by macroscopic atomic excitations of two level atomic system. We offer the original scheme of quantum cloning of optical field into the cavity polaritons containing the phase insensitive parametrical amplifier and atomic cell placed in the cavity. The high temperature quasi-condensation (and/or condensation) phenomenon for polaritons arising in the cavity under the certain conditions is proposed for the first time.

Section: Phase Transition In a Coupled Atom-light System Under Ementioning
The problem of photonic phase transition for the system of a two-level atomic ensemble interacting with a quantized single-mode electromagnetic field in the presence of optical collisions (OC) is considered. We have shown that for large and negative atom-field detuning a photonic field exhibits high temperature second order phase transition to superradiant state under thermalization condition for coupled atom-light states. Such a transition can be connected with superfluid (coherent) properties of photon-like low branch (LB) polaritons. We discuss the application of metallic cylindrical waveguide for observing predicted effects.

“…In fact, in our case a macroscopic quantum self-trapping behavior of polaritonic modes takes place, first, as a result of nonlinear interaction of macroscopically large number of polaritons from different branches. Second, the MQST regime occurs as a result of the "external force" action (see (18), ( 23)) depending on effective difference ∆E eff = 0 in (13).…”
“…For some practical purposes the coherent properties of upper branch of polaritons can be important as well. In fact, the problem of formation of quantum entangled polariton states from different branches [17] is the case in respect to construct the algorithms of quantum cloning and storage for optical field into the cavity polaritons being recently proposed [18]. However, in the experiment [14] the upper polariton branch has not been developed in the photoluminescence when the quasi-condensation of lower polariton branch takes place under the thermal equilibrium condition.…”
We consider a new approach to the problem of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of polaritons for atom-field interaction under the strong coupling regime in the cavity. We investigate the dynamics of two macroscopically populated polariton modes corresponding to the upper and lower branch energy states coupled via Kerr-like nonlinearity of atomic medium. We found out the dispersion relations for new type of collective excitations in the system under consideration. Various temporal regimes like linear (nonlinear) Josephson transition and/or Rabi oscillations, macroscopic quantum selftrapping (MQST) dynamics for population imbalance of polariton modes are predicted. We also examine the switching properties for time-averaged population imbalance depending on initial conditions, effective nonlinear parameter of atomic medium and kinetic energy of lowbranch polaritons.
“…Recently, various approaches have been proposed for classical and quantum computation with the use of microcavity polaritons, see, e.g., [5][6][7][8][9]. It has been proposed in [5] and then demonstrated in [6] that the classical information can be carried by lower branch polaritons (LP) propagating in microcavity based optical integrated circuits.…”
We propose a novel physical mechanism for the creation of long-lived macroscopic exciton-photon qubits in semiconductor microcavities with embedded quantum wells in the strong coupling regime. The polariton qubit is a superposition of lower branch and upper branch exciton-polariton states. We argue that the coherence time of Rabi oscillations can be dramatically enhanced due to their stimulated pumping from a permanent thermal reservoir of polaritons. We discuss applications of such qubits for quantum information processing, cloning, and storage purposes.
