Abstract

We investigate the non-Markovian dynamics of quantum correlation between two initially entangled nitrogen-vacancy centers (NVCs) embedded in photonic-crystal cavities (PCCs). We find that a finite quantum correlation is preserved even asymptotically when the transition frequency of the NVC is within the band gap of the PCC, which is quantitatively different from the result of approaching zero under the Born-Markovian approximation. In addition, once the transition frequency of NVC is far beyond the band gap of the PCC, the quantum correlation initially prepared in NVC will be fully transferred to the reservoirs in the long-time limit. Our result reveals that the interplay between the non-Markovian effect of the structured reservoirs and the existence of emitter-field bound state plays an essential role in such quantum correlation preservation. This feature may open new perspectives for devising active decoherence-immune solid-state optical devices.

Dynamics of quantum correlation between separated nitrogen-vacancy centers embedded in plasmonic waveguide

Wanli Yang, Jun‐Hong An, Chengjie Zhang +2 more

We investigate the dynamics of quantum correlation between two separated nitrogen vacancy centers (NVCs) placed near a one-dimensional plasmonic waveguide. As a common medium of the radiation field of NVCs propagating, the plasmonic waveguide can dynamically induce quantum correlation between the two NVCs. It is interesting to find that such dynamically induced quantum correlation can be preserved in the long-time steady state by locally applying individual driving on the two NVCs. In particular, we also show that a large degree of quantum correlation can be established by this scheme even when the distance between the NVCs is much larger than their operating wavelength. This feature may open new perspectives for devising active decoherence-immune solid-state optical devices and long-distance NVC-based quantum networks in the context of plasmonic quantum electrodynamics.

Quantum dynamics and quantum state transfer between separated nitrogen-vacancy centers embedded in photonic crystal cavities

W. L. Yang, Z. Q. Yin, Zhenyu Xu +2 more

We investigate dynamics of a laser-driven and dissipative system consisting of two nitrogen-vacancy (N-$V$) centers embedded in two spatially separated single-mode nanocavities in a planar photonic crystal (PC). Spontaneous emission from the excited states of the N-$V$ centers can be effectively suppressed by virtue of the Raman transition in the dispersive regime. The system displays a series of damped oscillations under various experimental situations, where we solve the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation analytically for arbitrary values of the hopping and PC--N-$V$ coupling strengths. In particular, our results indicate that some special values should be taken for the hopping strength if we hope to have high-fidelity quantum state transfer between the two distant N-$V$ centers. We have also analyzed the relevant entanglement dynamics in the presence of decoherence. The experimental feasibility and challenge are justified using currently available technology.

Finite-time decoherence could be suppressed efficiently in a photonic crystal

Wang Fa-Qiang, Zhi‐Ming Zhang, Ruisheng Liang

The decoherence of two initially entangled qubits in anisotropic band-gap photonic crystal has been studied analytically without Born or Markovian approximation. It is shown that the decoherence dynamics of two qubits in a photonic crystal is greatly different from that of two qubits in vacuum or that subjected to the usual non-Markovian reservoir. The results also show that the finite-time decoherence invoked by spontaneous emission could be suppressed efficiently and the entanglement of the Bell state possessing odd parity is more easily preserved in a photonic crystal than that of the Bell state possessing even parity under the same condition. A store scheme for the entangled particle pair is proposed.

Non-Markovian dynamics of an open quantum system with initial system-reservoir correlations: A nanocavity coupled to a coupled-resonator optical waveguide

Hua-tang Tan, Wei-Min Zhang

In this paper, the exact non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems in the presence of initial system-reservoir correlations is investigated for a photonic cavity system coupled to a general non-Markovian reservoir. The exact time-convolutionless master equation incorporating with initial system-reservoir correlations is obtained. The non-Markovian dynamics of the reservoir and the effects of the initial correlations are embedded into the time-dependent coefficients in the master equation. We show that the effects induced by the initial correlations play an important role in the non-Markovian dynamics of the cavity but they are washed out in the steady-state limit in the Markovian regime. Moreover, the initial two-photon correlation between the cavity and the reservoir can induce nontrivial squeezing dynamics to the cavity field.

Correlation dynamics of nitrogen vacancy centers located in crystal cavities

Abdel‐Haleem Abdel‐Aty, Heba Kadry, A.‐B. A. Mohamed +1 more

In this contribution, we investigate the bipartite non-classical correlations (NCCs) of a system formed by two nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) centers placed in two spatially separated single-mode nanocavities inside a planar photonic crystal (PC). The physical system is mathematically modeled by time-dependent Schrödinger equation and analytically solved. The bipartite correlations of the two N-V centers and the two-mode cavity have been analyzed by skew information, log-negativity, and Bell function quantifiers. We explore the effects of the coupling strength between the N-V-centers and the cavity fields as well as the cavity-cavity hopping constant and the decay rate on the generated correlation dynamics. Under some specific parameter values, a large amount of quantum correlations is obtained. This shows the possibility to control the dynamics of the correlations for the NV-centers and the cavity fields.

Creation of quantum entanglement with two separate diamond nitrogen vacancy centers coupled to a photonic molecule

Siping Liu, Rong Yu, Jiahua Li +1 more

We explore the entanglement generation and the corresponding dynamics between two separate nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond nanocrystal coupled to a photonic molecule consisting of a pair of coupled photonic crystal (PC) cavities. By calculating the entanglement concurrence with readily available experimental parameters, it is found that the entanglement degree strongly depends on the cavity-cavity hopping strength and the NV-center-cavity detuning. High concurrence peak and long-lived entanglement plateau can be achieved by properly adjusting practical system parameters. Meanwhile, we also discuss the influence of the coupling strength between the NV centers and the cavity modes on the behavior of the concurrence. Such a PC-NV system can be employed for quantum entanglement generation and represents a building block for an integrated nanophotonic network in a solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics platform. In addition, the present theory can also be applied to other similar systems, such as two single quantum emitters positioned close to a microtoroidal resonator with the whispering-gallery-mode fields propagating inside the resonator.
