| contents | Indefinite causal order (ICO) has the potential to be a new resource for quantum information processing. In most of its experiments, ICO has been investigated in a photonic platform. Here we investigate ICO in a cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) system composed of two cavities. Our results show that ICO can create entanglement between two distant cavity fields that never interact directly, and for the case of two cavity fields in the vacuum state, ICO presents an advantage over the fixed-order scenario by always generating large entanglement between the two cavity fields. Furthermore, we show that ICO can interchange one photon between both cavities with a total probability equal to one, without changing the quantum state of the atom, something that is impossible to achieve when two cQED systems are in well-defined order. Our results show the potential that ICO can offer in the paradigm of light-matter interaction for coherently controlling atom-field observables. |
