Nonreciprocal Bundle Emissions of Quantum Entangled Pairs

Abstract

Realizing precise control over multiquanta emission is crucial for quantum information processing, especially when integrated with advanced techniques of manipulating quantum states. Here, by spinning the resonator to induce the Sagnac effect, we can obtain nonreciprocal photon-phonon and photon-magnon super-Rabi oscillations under conditions of optically driving resonance transitions. Opening dissipative channels for such super-Rabi oscillations enables the realization of directional bundle emissions of entangled photon-phonon pairs and photon-magnon pairs by transferring the pure multiquanta state to a bundled multiquanta outside of the system. This nonreciprocal emission is a flexible switch that can be controlled with precision, and simultaneous emissions of different entangled pairs (such as photon-phonon or photon-magnon pairs) can even emerge but in opposite directions by driving the resonator from different directions. This ability to flexibly manipulate the system allows us to achieve directional entangled multiquanta emitters, and has also potential applications for building hybrid quantum networks and on-chip quantum communications.

Nonreciprocal photon bundle emission

Quantum squeezing, a cornerstone of quantum optics and photonics, has played a key role in achieving ultra-precision sensing and realizing nonreciprocal engineering. However, the nonreciprocal multiquanta emission has remained largely unexplored by using directional quantum squeezing. Here, the one-way photon-photon bundle emission in a compound system consisted of two coupled optical resonators and a two-level atom is investigated. It is found that the directional quantum squeezing induces the asymmetric frequency detuning and photon hopping interaction between the two resonators, leading to the directional excitation of the two-photon super-Rabi oscillation. In particular, by harnessing intrinsic dissipation of the system, two types of two-photon bundle emission can be selectively induced for the probe field input from one direction while it is prohibited with the probe from the other direction. This finding bridges the broad fields ranging from nonreciprocal physics to quantum squeezing optics and multiquanta emission control through an all-optical approach, which can enable potential applications in chiral quantum emitters and backscattering-immune photonic communications.

Nonreciprocal multiphoton bundle emission in a spinning resonator

Xue Gao, Jun Xu, Xiangming Hu

We propose a scheme to realize nonreciprocal multiphoton bundle emission in a spinning resonator. The system consists of a rotating two-mode cavity directly coupled to a two-level atom, enabling efficient excitation of the desired multiphoton bundle states. These photon bundles originate from leapfrog transitions between dressed states, established through the coherent atom-cavity coupling under multiphoton resonance conditions. When the rotating resonator is driven in different directions, it generates opposite Sagnac-Fizeau shifts, making the resonant conditions dependent on the direction. As a consequence, distinct multiphoton transition channels can be selectively activated by tuning the driving direction and frequency. The nonreciprocal two-photon or three-photon bundle emission with the same and different modes can be implemented with a high tunability. This scheme provides a feasible route toward direction-controlled multiphoton emitters with potential applications in chiral quantum information processing.

Entangled Photon‐Magnon Bundle Emission

Qian Bin, Qing‐Yang Qiu, Ying Wu +1 more

Abstract Multiquanta correlation between quanta of a completely different nature is an important resource for hybrid quantum information processing since it allows quantum states of matters to be manipulated by other degrees of freedom. Here, a method is proposed to realize the hybrid bundle emission of strongly correlated single photons and magnons. The optically driven multiquanta resonance leads to the super‐Rabi oscillation between the vacuum state and photon‐magnon state, which, combined with system dissipations, generates photon‐magnon bundle emission. Interestingly, accompanied by this bundle emission, the photon‐magnon entanglement and fully inseparable photon‐magnon‐qubit tripartite entanglement are achieved. This allows the proposed hybrid system to serve as a quantum emitter of entangled photon‐magnon bundle, which is useful for building hybrid quantum network and the engineering of new types of quantum devices.

Nonreciprocal photon-phonon entanglement in Kerr-modified spinning cavity magnomechanics

Jiaojiao Chen, Xiao‐Gang Fan, Wei Xiong +2 more

Cavity magnomechanics has shown great potential in studying macroscopic quantum effects, especially for quantum entanglement, which is a key resource for quantum information science. Here we propose to realize magnon mediated nonreciprocal photon-phonon entanglement, which exhibits asymmetry when opposite magnetic or driving fields are respectively applied to the magnons with the Kerr effect or the photons with the Sagnac effect. We find that the mean magnon number can selectively exhibit nonreciprocal linear or nonlinear (bistable) behavior with the strength of the strong driving field on the cavity. Assisted by this driving field, the magnon-phonon coupling is greatly enhanced, leading to the nonreciprocal photon-phonon entanglement via the swapping interaction between the magnons and photons. This nonreciprocal entanglement can be significantly enhanced with the magnon Kerr and Sagnac effects. Given the available parameters, the nonreciprocal photon-phonon entanglement can be preserved at $\ensuremath{\approx}3$ K, showing remarkable resilience against the bath temperature. The result reveals that our paper holds promise in developing various nonreciprocal devices with both the magnon Kerr and Sagnac effects in cavity magnomechanics.

Nonreciprocal magnon-photon-phonon entanglement in cavity magnomechanics

Subhadeep Chakraborty, Camelia Das

We propose a scheme to create nonreciprocal entanglement in a spinning cavity magnomechanical system. The setup comprises a whispering gallery mode resonator with two counterpropagating modes, simultaneously coupled to yttrium iron garnet. By spinning the resonator, the counterpropagating modes undergo an opposite Fizeau drag caused by the optical Sagnac effect. We show that in a spinning resonator, the cavity-magnon-phonon modes get entangled along a chosen direction while remaining fully uncorrelated in the other. The degree of nonreciprocity is determined by the drive detuning and the spinning velocity of the resonator. Our work provides a different route to achieve chiral control of quantum entanglement involving magnon-photon-phonon modes.

Nonreciprocal optical–microwave entanglement in a spinning magnetic resonator

Ya-long Ren

We propose a nonreciprocal optical-microwave entanglement in a hybrid system composed of a spinning magnetic resonator and a microwave resonator. The optical Sagnac effect caused by the spinning of the magnetic resonator leads to a significant difference in the quantum entanglement for driving the magnetic resonator from opposite directions, which results in the nonreciprocal optical-microwave entanglement. Remarkably, the nonreciprocal optical-microwave entanglement determined by the spinning speed, driving direction, and driving frequency has a high tunability, so it can be turned on or off on demand. Our work opens up a new, to the best of our knowledge, route to achieve nonreciprocal entanglement between microwave and optical domains, which may have potential applications in chiral quantum networking.
