RESUMO

In this thesis, we present two results of entanglement generation, both involving atom-radiation interaction. In the first part, we consider a scheme for generation of entangled states involving electronic states of two distant ions, each one placed in a cavity. A flying atom, that crosses these cavities, is responsible for the generation of entangled states of the Bell-type between the two ions. We show that for specific times of interaction, the entangled states are generated and in a non-probabilistic way. We also present a realistic proposal of candidates for atoms and ions for an experimental implementation of this scheme. In the second part of this work, we investigate a model for the interaction of two orthogonally polarized quantum fields with a cloud of X-like four-level atoms. We consider, in our scheme, a physical situation where the atoms act effectively like two-level atoms. Thus, in a linearized approximation for the field, we derive a bilinear effective Hamiltonian representing the atom-field interaction, which depends on the difference of population between the ensemble of two-level atoms. After a conditional measurement in the atomic system, we show that the two field modes ends up in a non-Gaussian entangled states, differently from what has been considered in some recent works in the literature. Since the squeezing below the noise limit in the linear polarization can be used as an indicator of entanglement in the circular polarization, we can use the variances in the quadratures, combined with the inseparability criterion for continuum variables, to complement our study of the experimental scheme.
