Abstract

Over the last decade, conditions for perfect state transfer in quantum spin chains have been discovered and their experimental realizations addressed, as have their extensions to more complex geometries of coupled cavity-emitter arrays. In this paper we further consider such studies and situations in which quantum state transfer can occur with high fidelity, even when the cavity-cavity coupling rates and cavity-emitter interaction rates are comparable. This is accomplished through the development and use of a Monte Carlo approach to the inverse eigenvalue problem, which allows the determination of coupling rates which optimize quantum state transfer fidelity and subsequent time evolution of the polariton wave function through exact diagonalization of the resulting Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard Hamiltonian. The effect of inhomogeneous emitter locations is also evaluated. Our key results include the demonstration that our methodology can be used successfully to establish Hamiltonian parameters for high-fidelity state transfer in more general lattice geometries and excitation number sectors, and also a determination of the effects of fluctuations in those parameters about their optimal values.

Quantum-state transmission in a cavity array via two-photon exchange

Yuli Dong, Shiqun Zhu, Wen‐Long You

The dynamical behavior of a coupled cavity array is investigated when each cavity contains a three-level atom. For the uniform and staggered intercavity hopping, the whole system Hamiltonian can be analytically diagonalized in the subspace of single-atom excitation. The quantum-state transfer along the cavities is analyzed in detail for distinct regimes of parameters, and some interesting phenomena including binary transmission and selective localization of the excitation population are revealed. We demonstrate that the uniform coupling is more suitable for the quantum-state transfer. It is shown that the initial state of polariton located in the first cavity is crucial to the transmission fidelity, and the local entanglement depresses the state transfer probability. Exploiting the metastable state, the distance of the quantum-state transfer can be much longer than that of Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model. A higher transmission probability and longer distance can be achieved by employing a class of initial encodings and final decodings.

Quantum-state transfer in staggered coupled-cavity arrays

G. M. A. Almeida, Francesco Ciccarello, Tony J. G. Apollaro +1 more

We consider a coupled-cavity array, where each cavity interacts with an atom under the rotating-wave approximation. For a staggered pattern of intercavity couplings, a pair of field normal modes, each bilocalized at the two array ends, arises. A rich structure of dynamical regimes can hence be addressed, depending on which resonance condition is set between the atom and the field modes. We show that this can be harnessed to carry out high-fidelity quantum-state transfer (QST) of photonic, atomic, or polaritonic states. Moreover, by partitioning the array into coupled modules of shorter length, the QST time can be substantially shortened without significantly affecting the fidelity.

Photon transfer in ultrastrongly coupled three-cavity arrays

Simone Felicetti, Guillermo Romero, Davide Rossini +2 more

We study the photon transfer along a linear array of three coupled cavities where the central one contains an interacting two-level system in the strong- and ultrastrong-coupling regimes. We find that an inhomogeneously coupled array forbids a complete single-photon transfer between the external cavities when the central one performs a Jaynes-Cummings dynamics. This is not the case in the ultrastrong-coupling regime, where the system exhibits singularities in the photon transfer time as a function of the cavity-qubit coupling strength. Our model can be implemented within the state-of-the-art circuit quantum electrodynamics technology and it represents a building block for studying photon state transfer through scalable cavity arrays.

Quantum communication through Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard arrays

R. Chakrabarti, G Sreekumari

We study the dynamics of an one dimensional array of Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard system of arbitrary number of coupled cavities, each containing a two level atom that interacts with a field mode. In particular, we consider propagation of a single excitation quantum state for two different couplings of the photonic modes of the adjacent cavities, namely, a translation invariant closed chain of uniformly coupled cavities, and also a linear chain with nonuniform parabolically varying intercavity coupling where the interaction Hamiltonian is associated with the Jacobi matrix of the Krawtchouk polynomials. Using a description via the delocalized atomic and field modes we observe that for a large detuning of these two degrees of freedom atomic excitations propagate without populating the field modes, and vice versa. For the near-resonance scenario between these modes the atomic excitations, say, while propagating mix with the photonic states. In the context of the parabolic coupling between photons of adjacent cavities an arbitrary element of the time-dependent correlation function between two arbitrary cavities may be expressed in closed form for dominant values of the detuning parameter, when an exact transmission of the quantum state at pre-specified times is realized.

Quantum state transfer in optomechanical arrays

G. D. de Moraes Neto, Fabiano M. Andrade, Víctor Montenegro +1 more

Quantum state transfer between distant nodes is at the heart of quantum processing and quantum networking. Stimulated by this, we propose a scheme where one can achieve quantum state transfer with a high fidelity between sites in a cavity quantum optomechanical network. In our lattice, each individual site is composed of a localized mechanical mode which interacts with a laser-driven cavity mode via radiation pressure, while photons hop between neighboring sites. After diagonalization of the Hamiltonian of each cell, we show that the system can be reduced to an effective Hamiltonian of two decoupled bosonic chains, and therefore we can apply the well-known results in quantum state transfer together with an additional condition on the transfer times. In fact, we show that our transfer protocol works for any arbitrary joint quantum state of a mechanical and an optical mode. Finally, in order to analyze a more realistic scenario we take into account the effects of independent thermal reservoirs for each site. By solving the standard master equation within the Born-Markov approximation, we reassure both the effective model and the feasibility of our protocol.

Polariton creation in coupled cavity arrays with spectrally disordered emitters

Jesse Patton, Victoria A. Norman, E C Mann +3 more

Abstract Integrated photonics has been a promising platform for analog quantum simulation of condensed matter phenomena in strongly correlated systems. To that end, we explore the implementation of all-photonic quantum simulators in coupled cavity arrays with integrated ensembles of spectrally disordered emitters. Our model is reflective of color center ensembles integrated into photonic crystal cavity arrays. Using the Quantum Master equation and the Effective Hamiltonian approaches, we study energy band formation and wavefunction properties in the open quantum Tavis–Cummings–Hubbard framework. We find conditions for polariton creation and (de)localization under experimentally relevant values of disorder in emitter frequencies, cavity resonance frequencies, and emitter-cavity coupling rates. To quantify these properties, we introduce two metrics, the polaritonic and nodal participation ratios, that characterize the light-matter hybridization and the node delocalization of the wavefunction, respectively. These new metrics combined with the Effective Hamiltonian approach prove to be a powerful toolbox for cavity quantum electrodynamical engineering of solid-state systems.
