Abstract

Several recent experiments have demonstrated the promise of atomic ensembles for quantum teleportation and quantum memory. In these cases, the collective internal state of the atoms is well described by continuous variables corresponding to the operators [Formula Presented] and the interaction with the optical field [Formula Presented] by a quadratic Hamiltonian [Formula Presented] We show how this interaction can be used optimally to create entanglement and squeezing. We derive conditions for the efficient simulation of quadratic Hamiltonians and the engineering of all Gaussian operations and states.
