Abstract

For the coherently controlled single-atom memory cell, a two-level atom with the transition frequency inside the gap and close to the gap edge is suggested. The atom-photon bound state (APBS) can be extensively controlled via available reservoir modes of unspoiled photonic crystal.

In-reservoir coherent control of an atom-photon bound state

In this work we show that the atom-photon bound state (APBS) in zero-temperature structured reservoir without an external excitation is always an entangled state of two qubits. The maximal degree of achievable entanglement depends on the atomic frequency detuning from the band edge. APBS can be produced and effectively controlled by the coherent excitation of the reservoir modes with frequencies outside the gap. The proposed scheme can be used for the single-atom optical memory device.

We present the collective operator master equation for bosonic reservoirs with gaps in the density of photonic states. We show that the atom-photon bound state can be produced and controlled by the in-reservoir coherent field.

Coherent control of a photon-atom bound state outside the photonic band gap

Szu-Cheng Cheng, Jing-Nuo Wu, Wen Feng Hsien

We demonstrate a feasible scheme to control the spontaneous emission of a ladder-type atom in an anisotropic photonic crystal (PC). We find that the photo-atom bound state can be formed even for the frequencies of the driving laser and atomic levels lying outside the photonic-band gap. From this scheme we then resolved the control problem posted by the previous studies that the driving laser cannot freely couple with the atom.

The optical spectra of a three-level atom embedded in a photonic crystal is studied by considering the coherent two-band photonic reservoir. We find that the spectrum is shifting with respect to the atomic position.
