Deterministic Generation of Large Fock States

Quantum Physics 2020-09-03 v1

Abstract

We present a protocol to deterministically prepare the electromagnetic field in a large photon number state. The field starts in a coherent state and, through resonant interaction with one or few two-level systems, it evolves into a coherently displaced Fock state, without any post-selection. We show the feasibility of the scheme under realistic parameters. The presented method opens a door to reach Fock states with n100n\sim100 and optimal fidelities above 7070%, blurring the line between macroscopic and quantum states of the field.
