Quantum correlations among optical and vibrational quanta

Sergiu Carlig, Mihai Macovei

Published May 5, 2014• 9 citations

Abstract

We investigate the feasibility of correlating an optical cavity field and a vibrational phonon mode. A laser pumped quantum dot fixed on a nanomechanical resonator beam interacts as a whole with the optical resonator mode. When the quantum dot variables are faster than the optical and phonon ones, we obtain a final master equation describing the involved modes only. Increasing the temperature, which directly affects the vibrational degrees of freedom, one can as well influence the cavity photon intensity, i.e., the optical and phonon modes are correlated. Furthermore, the corresponding Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is violated demonstrating the quantum nature of those correlations.

Entangling an optical cavity and a nanomechanical resonator beam by means of a quantum dot

Xiao-Zhong Yuan

The stationary continuous-variable entanglement between an optical cavity and a nanomechanical resonator beam is generated by their common interaction with a quantum dot. To deal with the quantum dot which is modeled as a two-level system, we do not use the low excitation limit approximation to bosonize the spin operators, but we keep them in the quantum Langevin equations. We linearize the quantum Langevin equations reasonably and investigate the stationary continuous-variable entanglement in detail, and finally we show that a high degree of entanglement can be achieved for experimentally feasible parameters.

Variational master equation for a driven quantum dot embedded in an optical resonator

Oscar J. Gómez-Sánchez, Hanz Y. Ramírez

In this work, we study the dynamics of a quantum dot embedded in a QED cavity and driven by a coherent electromagnetic field, while interacting with a bath of acoustic phonons. We address the phonon dissipative effects on the resonance fluorescence of the system by deriving a variational master equation, valid for a broader range of temperatures, pumping rates, and quantum dot-cavity coupling intensities, than previously reported approaches.

Influence of electron-phonon interaction on the optical spectrum and quantum statistics in a quantum-dot–cavity system: Master-equation approach

Zeynab Harsij, M. Bagheri Harouni, R. Roknizadeh +1 more

We investigate a quantum-dot-based cavity system via the master-equation approach. The dynamics of the system is greatly affected by dissipation and dephasing processes. We include these phenomena to the theory through the master equation. The dissipation effects such as cavity loss, spontaneous recombination of excitons, and incoherent pumping are considered. The dephasing process is included as an electron--acoustic-phonon interaction. An intrinsic feature of solid-state cavity systems is the presence of electron-phonon interaction, which distinguishes this system from atomic cavity quantum electrodynamics. Due to the temperature dependence of phonons we use the complete form of the master equation (temperature dependence of dissipation rates) in this paper. We study the emission spectrum and photon statistics of the system. We show that cavity mode emission depends on temperature, and temperature strongly affects the photon statistics.

OPTOMECHANICAL SYSTEMS – A BRIDGE BETWEEN NANO- AND MACRO-WORLDS

Sergiu Carlig, Victor Ceban, Mihai A. MACOVEI

In this paper we studied a nanomechanical resonator coupled with a driven quantum dot. The presented analytical results show that the correlation of the photon and phonon modes may be obtained or that quantum cooling phenomena may occur. In addition, the studied acoustical cavities coupled to quantum dots allow the generation of the vibrational phonons with sub-Poissonian distributions. The phonon-photon correlations and fields with sub-Poissonian \nstatistics, both represent pure quantum phenomena.

Enhanced vibrational quantum dynamics beyond the rotating wave approximation

Sergiu Carlig, Mihai Macovei

We investigate the vibrational dynamics of a quantum mechanical resonator when an ensemble of laser pumped two-level emitters are fixed on it. Beyond the rotating wave approximation with respect to phonon’s variables, one can obtain an interesting phonon quantum dynamics if the quantum emitter’s variables are faster than those describing the mechanical resonator. Particularly, for certain parameters, one can obtain an enhanced phonon emission as well as larger phonon–phonon correlations in the steady state.
