本論文針對原子系統中可調控的雙光子生成進行了完整的實驗與理論研究,涵蓋了自發四波混頻 (spontaneous four-wave mixing, SFWM) 以及 Duan-Lukin-Cirac-Zoller (DLCZ) 型自發拉曼散射 (spontaneous Raman scattering, SRS) 兩種方案。在SFWM 機制中,兩個雷射場同時與原子系統交互作用,驅動四光子散射過程,並藉由集體原子效應產生具時間相關性的光子對。我們系統性地分析了光子配對比 (即區分同調的成對光子與非同調的背景光子),並提出一種方法可從實驗數據中提取該比值。結果顯示,光子配對比隨光學厚度 (OD) 增加而上升,在 OD = 120 時達到 0.89,此時每秒可產生 1.16 × 10^7 對有關連性的光子,總產生率率則為 1.30 × 10^7。在低增益區域中,所產生的雙光子具有高純度,訊雜比高達 241,超越古典極限五個數量級。此外,雙光子的頻寬與頻率皆可調控,使其能高效耦合至窄頻量子系統。相比之下,DLCZ 型方案則依賴於序列式拉曼過程:首先由單一激發脈衝誘發自發拉曼散射,產生 Stokes 光子並在原子系統中建立基態同調性;隨後延遲施加的耦合場再將此同調性轉換為 anti-Stokes 光子。此機制可實現精確的時間控制,並支援具需求式的雙光子產生。雖然其效率與SFWM 同樣隨 OD 增加而提升,但由於基礎物理機制不同,所展現的量子關聯性亦有差異。我們同時提出了首個可以捕捉 DLCZ 型雙光子生成動力學的開放系統理論模型,並由此獲得新的物理洞見。綜合而言,本研究建立了一個多功能的量子光源平台,具備應用於量子通訊、量子記憶與量子運算的潛力。
This thesis presents a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of tailored biphoton generation in atomic ensembles, utilizing both spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) and Duan-Lukin-Cirac-Zoller (DLCZ)-type spontaneous Raman scattering schemes. In SFWM, two laser fields interact simultaneously with the ensemble to drive a four-photon scattering process, generating time-correlated photon pairs through collective atomic interactions. We systematically analyze the photon pairing ratio—distinguishing coherent pairs from incoherent background photons—and develop a method to extract this ratio from experimental data. The pairing ratio increases with optical depth (OD), reaching 0.89 at OD = 120, where 1.16 × 10^7 correlated pairs per second are produced from a total rate of 1.30 × 10^7. In the low-gain regime, the biphotons exhibit high purity, with a signal-to-background ratio of 241, surpassing the classical limit by five orders of magnitude. Additionally, the biphoton bandwidth and frequency are tunable, enabling efficient coupling to narrowband quantum systems. In contrast, the DLCZ-type scheme relies on a sequential Raman process: a single excitation pulse induces spontaneous Raman scattering, emitting a Stokes photon while establishing ground-state coherence in the ensemble. A delayed coupling field then retrieves this coherence as an anti-Stokes photon. This mechanism enables precise temporal control and supports on-demand photon pair generation. While its efficiency shows similar OD dependence as SFWM, the underlying physical processes result in different quantum correlations. We also present the first open-system theoretical model capturing the dynamics of DLCZ-type biphoton generation, providing new insights. Together, these results establish a versatile platform for quantum communication, memory, and computation.
