Quasi-spin wave quantum memories with dynamic symmetry

Abstract

For the two-mode exciton system formed by the quasi-spin wave collective excitation of many $Λ$ atoms fixed at the lattice sites of a crystal, we discover a dynamic symmetry depicted by the semi-direct product algebra $SU(2)\bar{\otimes} h_2 $ in the large $N$ limit with low excitations. With the help of the spectral generating algebra method, we obtain a larger class of exact zero-eigenvalue states adiabatically interpolating between the initial state of photon-type and the final state of quasi-spin wave exciton-type. The conditions for the adiabatic passage of dark states are shown to be valid, even with the presence of the level degeneracy. These theoretical results can lead to propose new protocol of implementing quantum memory robust against quantum decoherence.
