dc.description.abstractIn this thesis a theoretical framework for a spin-1 exchange dynamics is developed by the use of effective Hamiltonian theory. We develop this framework through several applications beginning with the standard Jaynes-Cummings model, which under the method of time-averaging leads to the Hamiltonian described by one-axis twisting in a more efficient manner than standard adiabatic elimination. The process of developing effective many-body spin Hamiltonian’s is then applied in several contexts. The robustness of the systems we studied are demonstrated through the generation of entangled states under various constraints. We find that when fixed within a sub-manifold of the collective angular momentum states the time evolution of minimally uncertain atomic states results in atomic cat states, which have been utilized in a variety of contexts for precision measurements. More so, when the initial state is given freedom to evolve between all angular momentum sub-manifolds large degrees of entanglement results. We give analytic results for the case of two-atoms where the entanglement quantification is given through the fidelity, and Schmidt number. This gives implications for measurement protocols through Ramsey pulses, quantum simulators, and creation of spin-1 Bell states for teleportation. Under different operating conditions, we demonstrate the emergence of electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) which provides a platform for quantum memory, polarization conversion, and state transfer. A limitation of photonic processes is the short optical resonance lifetime, however, our system is free of this issue due to the dispersive approximation constraining the system to a decoherence free ground state manifold. As a result our EIT scheme can result in longer storage times, and more efficient state transfer as decoherence due to spontaneous emission is not the limiting factor.en
