Proposal for exploring macroscopic entanglement with a single photon and coherent states

Pavel Sekatski, Nicolas Sangouard, Magdalena Stobińska, Félix Bussières, Mikael Afzelius, and Nicolas Gisin

Phys. Rev. A 86, 060301(R) (2012) - Published 3 December, 2012

Entanglement between macroscopically populated states can easily be created by combining a single photon and a bright coherent state on a beamsplitter. Motivated by the simplicity of this technique, we report on a method using displacement operations in the phase space and basic photon detections to reveal such an entanglement. We show that this eminently feasible approach provides an attractive way for exploring entanglement at various scales, ranging from 1 to 1000 photons. This offers an instructive viewpoint to gain insight into why it is hard to observe quantum features in our macroscopic world.

Propagation of a relativistic electron wave packet in the Dirac equation

Sang Tae Park

Phys. Rev. A 86, 062105 (2012) - Published 12 December, 2012

Solving the Dirac equation is a formidable task due to the high frequency and the degrees of freedom involved. However, this high frequency allows one to obtain an approximation to the equation. Here, we directly solve the Dirac equation using an envelope method and derive analytical solutions of Dirac wave packets to first order for the small momentum spread. We apply the insight gained from this solution to the Zitterbewegung behavior in a Dirac-like system, where we show that it is crucial to include the first-order term in our solution to correctly describe a Dirac packet.
