Abstract

The spectral and statistical properties are explored for surface plasmon (SP) emission in resonance fluorescence from a driven two level emitter in the proximity of 2D single graphene sheet. We derive an exact closed form analytic expression for the emitted SP field valid in the near and far regions. The SP field profile and spectrum function depend on the graphene conductivity and take into account the dynamic control parameters, namely Fermi energy. We present analysis for the spectrum and second order coherence functions and discuss the possibility of their control using graphene system parameters to manipulate the spectral linewidth and second order coherence function.

Control of resonance fluorescence of a four-level quantum emitter near a plasmonic nanostructure

F. Carreño, M. A. Antón, Vassilios Yannopapas +1 more

We present a theoretical study of the resonance fluorescence of a four-level double-$\mathsf{V}$-type quantum emitter near a plasmonic nanostructure. The quantum system interacts with two orthogonal circularly polarized laser fields with the same frequency and intensity, but with different phases. For the plasmonic nanostructure we consider a two-dimensional array of metal-coated dielectric nanospheres. We show that the presence of the plasmonic nanostructure leads to strong modification of both the resonance fluorescence spectrum and the transition from antibunching to bunching for the fluorescent photons. In addition, we show that both the resonance fluorescence spectrum and the second-order correlation function are strongly phase-dependent so that the relative phase of laser fields can be used for the efficient control of the resonance fluorescence characteristics. The results are explained by using a dressed-state picture.

Nonlinear Atom-Plasmon Interactions Enabled by Nanostructured Graphene

Joel D. Cox, F. Javier Garcı́a de Abajo

Electrically tunable graphene plasmons are anticipated to enable strong light-matter interactions with resonant quantum emitters. However, plasmon resonances in graphene are typically limited to infrared frequencies, below those of optical excitations in robust quantum light sources and many biologically interesting molecules. Here we propose to utilize near fields generated by the plasmon-assisted nonlinear optical response of nanostructured graphene to resonantly couple with proximal quantum emitters operating in the near infrared. We show that the nonlinear near field produced by a graphene nanodisk can strongly excite and coherently control quantum states in two- and three-level atomic systems when the third harmonic of its plasmon resonance is tuned to a particular electronic transition. In the present scheme, emitter and plasmon resonances are nondegenerate, circumventing strong enhancement of spontaneous emission. We envision potential applications for the proposed nonlinear plasmonic coupling scheme in sensing and temporal quantum control.

Spectral narrowing in the resonance fluorescence of a driven V-type quantum emitter near a two-dimensional plasmonic nanostructure array

Spyridon G. Kosionis, Vassilios Yannopapas, Emmanuel Paspalakis

We investigate the incoherent resonance fluorescence spectrum emitted by a three-level V-type quantum emitter, under the influence of a two-dimensional plasmonic nanosphere array. The V-type quantum system is driven by a coherent electromagnetic field whilst quantum interference effects in the spontaneous emission due to the presence of the plasmonic nanostructure are accounted for. The characteristics of the incoherent resonance fluorescence spectrum are studied, for different sets of parameters, aiming at the specification of the conditions under which an outstanding spectral narrowing, or either, quenching effects are manifested.

Resonance fluorescence of a two-level quantum emitter near a plasmonic nanoparticle: role of the near-field polarization

Yu. V. Vladimirova, Eugeny D. Chubchev, Victor N. Zadkov

Abstract It is demonstrated that the interaction of a two-level quantum emitter (atom, molecule, etc) with a plasmonic nanoparticle (prolate nanospheroid) in an external laser field features either an essential increase (up to a few orders of magnitude) or reduction (up to a few times) of the total decay rate of the emitter in specific areas around the nanoparticle in contrast to its decay rate in a vacuum. It is also shown that the resonance fluorescence spectrum of the emitter in close proximity to a plasmonic nanoparticle is very sensitive to both the location of the emitter around the nanoparticle and to polarization of the near-field, which depends in turn on the polarization of the incident laser field. This can be used in engineering potential quantum optics experiments with quantum emitters in the near-field, as well as for 3D nanoscopy of the near-field by registering the resonance fluorescence spectra of quantum emitters scattered in the vicinity of a plasmonic nanoparticle.

A graphene platform for nano scale coherent interaction of surface plasmons with resonant atomic ensembles

Ali A. Kamli, Sergey A. Moiseev

We propose a 2D graphene structure containing atomic ensemble as a platform for implementing nanoscale enhanced coherent interactions of plasmonic fields with resonant atomic systems. We determine the graphene surface plasmon modes, and the properties of its electromagnetic fields, and emphasize the role of graphene sheet separation on the interaction with atomic systems for various dipole orientations and positions between the graphene sheets. We analyze the conditions for implementation of coherent interaction of SP mode with resonant atomic ensembles. By solving the Maxwell-Bloch equations that govern the resonant interaction of surface plasmons with atoms, we derive the modified area theorem, which makes it possible to identify the most common nonlinear patterns in the behavior of plasmons under the studied conditions. We obtain analytical and numerical solutions of the area theorem, and find the possibility of stable propagation of isolated SP pulses of graphene surface plasmon modes at "fractional" pulse area values relative to $π$. We show that the coherent dynamics of SP fields can be realized in nanoscale design and we highlight the possibilities of using this scheme of coherent dynamics for implementing compact multimode nanoscale quantum memory and its integration with other quantum devices on the proposed platform.

Two-level systems coupled to Graphene plasmons: A Lindblad equation approach

T. V. C. Antão, Nuno M. R. Peres

In this paper, we review the theory of open quantum systems and macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, providing a self-contained account of many aspects of these two theories. The former is presented in the context of a qubit coupled to a electromagnetic thermal bath, the latter is presented in the context of a quantization scheme for surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in graphene based on Langevin noise currents. This includes a calculation of the dyadic Green’s function (in the electrostatic limit) for a Graphene sheet between two semi-infinite linear dielectric media, and its subsequent application to the construction of SPP creation and annihilation operators. We then bring the two fields together and discuss the entanglement of two qubits in the vicinity of a graphene sheet which supports SPPs. The two qubits communicate with each other via the emission and absorption of SPPs. We find that a Schrödinger cat state involving the two qubits can be partially protected from decoherence by taking advantage of the dissipative dynamics in graphene. A comparison is also drawn between the dynamics at zero temperature, obtained via Schrödinger’s equation, and at finite temperature, obtained using the Lindblad equation.
