Description

A scheme for generating continuous beams of atoms in nonclassical or entangled quantum states is proposed and analyzed. For this the recently suggested transfer technique of quantum states from light fields to collective atomic excitation by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage [M. Fleischhauer and M. D. Lukin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5094 (2000)] is employed and extended to matter waves
