A Bright Entanglement and Squeezing Generated by an External Pumping Radiation in a Correlated Emission Laser by Chimdessa Gashu

“…The entanglement produced is studied employing the logarithmic negativity criterion. It is found that pumping atoms from the lower energy state to excited state, introducing the nonlinear crystal into the cavity and coupling the system to a biased noise fluctuation, generate a bright and strong squeezing and entanglement with enhanced statistical properties although the atoms are initially in the ground state.…”
