Abstract

We present a setup of two coupled micromaser cavities for studying decoherence. The system is prepared in a state where, initially, one photon is contained in one of the two cavities. The coupling of the two resonators allows the photon to tunnel into the other cavity with a certain probability. The system thus oscillates between the two states parallel to 1 >(L)parallel to 0 >(R) and parallel to ...
