Abstract

Interaction of traveling wave of classic light with 1D-chain of coupled quantum dots (QDs) in strong coupling regime has been theoretically considered. The effect of space propagation of Rabi oscillations in the form of traveling waves and wave packets has been predicted. Physical interpretation of the effect has been given, principles of its experimental observation are discussed.

Strong electron-photon coupling in a one-dimensional quantum dot chain: Rabi waves and Rabi wave packets

We predict and theoretically investigate the new coherent effect of nonlinear quantum optics---spatial propagation of Rabi oscillations (Rabi waves) in one-dimensional quantum dot (QD) chain. QD chain is modeled by the set of two-level quantum systems with tunnel coupling between neighboring QDs. The space propagation of Rabi waves in the form of traveling waves and wave packets is considered. It is shown, that traveling Rabi waves are quantum states of QD chain dressed by radiation. The dispersion characteristics of traveling Rabi waves are investigated and their dependence on average number of photons in wave is demonstrated. The propagation of Rabi wave packets is accompanied by the transfer of the inversion and quantum correlations along the QD chain and by the transformation of quantum light statistics. The conditions of experimental observability are analyzed. The effect is potentially useful for quantum computing and quantum informatics.

Rabi waves and Rabi wavepackets in one-dimensional quantum dot chain: Excitation, propagation, reflection

Gregory Ya. Slepyan, Yauhen Yerchak, С. А. Максименко +1 more

We theoretically investigate the spatial propagation of Rabi oscillations (Rabi waves) in one-dimensional inhomogeneous quantum dot (QD) chain. QD-chain is modeled by the set of two-level quantum systems with tunnel coupling between neighboring QDs. The space propagation of Rabi waves in the form of traveling waves and localized wave packets is considered. It is shown, that the propagation of Rabi waves is accompanied by the transfer of the inversion and quantum correlations along the QD-chain and by their reflection and mutual transformations at the spatial inhomogeneities of QE-chain. The effect is potentially applicable in quantum nanooptics and quantum informatics.

Strong coupling between quantum dot and electromagnetic field: local field effects

Gregory Ya. Slepyan, A. Magyarov, С. А. Максименко +2 more

The influence of local fields on the excitonic Rabi oscillations in isolated, arbitrary shaped quantum dot (QD) has been theoretically investigated. Hamiltonian of the system "QD+electromagnetic field" has been obtained. Both QD interaction with classical electromagnetic field and ultrashort optical pulse has been considered. As a result, the bifurcation and anharmonism in the Rabi oscillations in a QD exposed to the monochromatic field have been predicted. The dependence of Rabi oscillations period on the QD depolarization parameter, which characterize local field has been obtained. It has been shown, that for the Gaussian pulse the final state of inversion as a function of peak pulse strength demonstrates step-like transitions.

Manifestation of local fields in excitonic Rabi oscillations in an isolated arbitrary shaped quantum dot (QD) has been theoretically investigated. Interaction of QD with harmonic electromagnetic field as well as with ultrashort optical pulse has been considered. Bifurcation and anharmonism in the Rabi oscillations in a QD are predicted. Step-like transitions of the inversion as a function of peak pulse strength are demonstrated to be observable in a QD exposed to a Gaussian pulse. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Rabi-Bloch oscillations in spatially distributed systems: Temporal dynamics and frequency spectra

Ilay Levie, R. Kästner, Gregory Ya. Slepyan

We consider one-dimensional chains of two-level quantum systems coupled via tunneling. The chain is driven by the superposition of dc and ac fields in the strong coupling regime. Based on the fundamental principles of electrodynamics and quantum theory, we have developed a generalized model of quantum dynamics for such interactions, free of rotating-wave approximation. The system of equations of motion was studied numerically. We analyzed the dynamics and spectra of the inversion density, dipole current density, and tunneling current density. In the case of resonant interaction with the ac component, the particle dynamics exhibits itself in the oscillatory regime, which may be interpreted as a combination of Rabi and Bloch oscillations with their strong mutual influence. Such scenario for an obliquely incident ac field dramatically differs from the individual picture of both types of oscillations due to the interactions. This effect is counterintuitive because of the existence of markedly different frequency ranges for such two types of oscillations. These dynamics manifest themselves in multiline spectra in different combinations of Rabi and Bloch frequencies. The effect is promising as a framework of a new type of spectroscopy in nanoelectronics and electrical control of nanodevices.

Microscopic theory of quantum dot interactions with quantum light: Local field effect

Gregory Ya. Slepyan, A. Magyarov, С. А. Максименко +1 more

A theory of both linear and nonlinear electromagnetic responses of a single quantum dot (QD) exposed to quantum light, accounting for depolarization induced local field has been developed. Based on the microscopic Hamiltonian accounting for the electron-hole exchange interaction, an effective two-body Hamiltonian has been derived and expressed in terms of the incident electric field, with a separate term describing the QD depolarization. The quantum equations of motion have been formulated and solved using the Hamiltonian for various types of the QD optical excitation, such as Fock qubit, coherent fields, vacuum state of electromagnetic field, and light with arbitrary photonic state distribution. For a QD exposed to coherent light, we predict the appearance of two oscillatory regimes in the Rabi effect separated by the bifurcation. In the first regime, the standard collapse-revival phenomenon does not reveal itself and the QD population inversion is found to be negative, while in the second one, the collapse-revival picture is found to be strongly distorted as compared to that predicted by the standard Jaynes-Cummings model. For the case of QD interaction with an arbitrary quantum light state in the linear regime, it has been shown that the local field induces a fine structure of the absorbtion spectrum. Instead of a single line with frequency corresponding to the exciton transition frequency, a duplet appears, with one component shifted by the amount of the local field coupling parameter. It has been demonstrated that the strong light--matter coupling regime arises in the weak-field limit. A physical interpretation of the predicted effects has been proposed.
