Abstract
Dark states of atomic ensembles do not interact with light (can neither emit nor absorb a single photon due to destructive interference). Being free of decoherence, they can be widely used in quantum computing (particularly as a mechanism for creating quantum memory). To date, the structure of dark states of two-level atoms has been sufficiently well studied; meanwhile, this problem remains open for three-level atomic ensembles. For ensembles of two-level atoms (in a chosen range), it was established that the dimension of the dark subspace is equal to the Catalan numbers. It is difficult to generalize this statement to the case of three-level, and even more so, multi-level atomic ensembles and has not been done so far. This paper proposes a supercomputer algorithm for numerical confirmation of a similar statement for ensembles of a limited number (not exceeding several tens) of three-level atoms.
