Abstract

Localization and delocalization of two photons in an array of cavities are examined. Role of entanglement and relative phase of the initial state in the occurrence of localization or delocalization during time evolution is elucidated.

We study the transport properties of two entangled photons which are initially injected into two nearest-neighbor coupling cavities in an one-dimensional coupled-cavity array (CCA). It is found that photonic transport dynamics in the two-photon CCA exhibits the entanglement-enhanced two-photon delocalization phenomenon. It is shown that the CCA can realize the localization-to-delocalization transition for two entangled photons.

Dynamics in a coupled-cavity array

C. D. Ogden, E. K. Twyeffort Irish, M. S. Kim

The dynamics of a system composed of two coupled cavities, each containing a single two-level atom, is studied over a wide range of detuning and coupling values. A description of the field in terms of delocalized modes reveals that the detuning between the atoms and these modes is controlled by the coupling between the cavities; this detuning in turn governs the nature of the dynamics. If the atoms are highly detuned from both delocalized field modes, the dynamics become dispersive and an excitation may be transferred from the first atom to the second without populating the field. In the case of resonance between the atoms and one of the delocalized modes, state transfer between the atoms requires intermediate excitation of the field. Thus, the interaction between the two atoms can be controlled by adjusting the coupling between the cavities.

Monitoring photon entanglement in coupled cavities

Moises Acero, Jeremiah Harrington, Oleg L. Berman +1 more

We study the dynamics of $N$ photons in a Fock state, initially located inside one cavity, and coupled by an optical fiber to a second cavity. The entanglement of the photons is monitored by projective measurements, repeated with a fixed time step. This approach is applied to the formation of a photonic N00N state. We calculate the probability of the transition of $N$ photons from the left to the right cavity and the probability of the return of $N$ photons to the left cavity under repeated projective measurements. The entanglement is analyzed for the N00N state by its fidelity and its phase sensitivity, while for the entanglement between the states in the two cavities the entanglement entropy is calculated. In addition, we study the monitored evolution of photons in a single cavity, which are coupled to a single qubit, using the Jaynes-Cummings model. Photon entanglement is analyzed in terms of the entanglement entropy. In all these cases we find that entanglement is sensitive to the details of monitoring protocol, which can be used to control photon entanglement for specific applications.

Dynamics in a system of four qubits in two cavities

Duong Hai Trieu

We study the dynamics of a closed system of four qubits in two coupled cavities. Each cavity contains two qubits which interact with it's quantum field and photons which may hop between the cavities. The state of the system is first expressed in delocalized modes and then is expressed in the system of local bases. Exact general solutions are obtained for one-excitation state with arbitrary initial condition. We consider in detail two cases of large and small hopping at resonance. In the case of resonance and large hopping the state of the first qubit may also be transferred to the second qubit in the same cavity without excitation of the field. Such transfer of states minimizes decoherence due to photon loss.
