Abstract

We theoretically investigate the spatial propagation of Rabi oscillations (Rabi waves) in one-dimensional inhomogeneous quantum dot (QD) chain. QD-chain is modeled by the set of two-level quantum systems with tunnel coupling between neighboring QDs. The space propagation of Rabi waves in the form of traveling waves and localized wave packets is considered. It is shown, that the propagation of Rabi waves is accompanied by the transfer of the inversion and quantum correlations along the QD-chain and by their reflection and mutual transformations at the spatial inhomogeneities of QE-chain. The effect is potentially applicable in quantum nanooptics and quantum informatics.

Strong electron-photon coupling in a one-dimensional quantum dot chain: Rabi waves and Rabi wave packets

Gregory Ya. Slepyan, Yauhen Yerchak, A. Hoffmann +1 more

We predict and theoretically investigate the new coherent effect of nonlinear quantum optics---spatial propagation of Rabi oscillations (Rabi waves) in one-dimensional quantum dot (QD) chain. QD chain is modeled by the set of two-level quantum systems with tunnel coupling between neighboring QDs. The space propagation of Rabi waves in the form of traveling waves and wave packets is considered. It is shown, that traveling Rabi waves are quantum states of QD chain dressed by radiation. The dispersion characteristics of traveling Rabi waves are investigated and their dependence on average number of photons in wave is demonstrated. The propagation of Rabi wave packets is accompanied by the transfer of the inversion and quantum correlations along the QD chain and by the transformation of quantum light statistics. The conditions of experimental observability are analyzed. The effect is potentially useful for quantum computing and quantum informatics.

Mixed states in Rabi waves and quantum nanoantennas

Gregory Ya. Slepyan, Yauhen Yerchak, С. А. Максименко +2 more

The mixed states of Rabi waves in a one-dimensional chain of two-level quantum dots (QDs) with tunnel coupling between neighbor QDs are theoretically considered. The propagation of Rabi waves is described by a $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$ statistical operator depending on two spatial and one temporal variables. For a statistical operator the generalized Bloch equations are derived. The eigenmodes of the statistical operator are considered, the general solution of the initial problem is obtained, and the frequency spectrum of the induced current is investigated. The high-frequency part of the spectrum corresponds to a Mollow triplet, but is distinct from the last one as it is the continuous spectral band located on both sides of the transition frequency. The low-frequency part is caused by tunnel current and includes a dc-component and continuous ac-band in the vicinity of the Rabi oscillation frequency. The application of Rabi waves to the electrically controlled quantum nanoantennas of terahertz range is considered.

Rabi-Bloch oscillations in spatially distributed systems: Temporal dynamics and frequency spectra

Ilay Levie, R. Kästner, Gregory Ya. Slepyan

We consider one-dimensional chains of two-level quantum systems coupled via tunneling. The chain is driven by the superposition of dc and ac fields in the strong coupling regime. Based on the fundamental principles of electrodynamics and quantum theory, we have developed a generalized model of quantum dynamics for such interactions, free of rotating-wave approximation. The system of equations of motion was studied numerically. We analyzed the dynamics and spectra of the inversion density, dipole current density, and tunneling current density. In the case of resonant interaction with the ac component, the particle dynamics exhibits itself in the oscillatory regime, which may be interpreted as a combination of Rabi and Bloch oscillations with their strong mutual influence. Such scenario for an obliquely incident ac field dramatically differs from the individual picture of both types of oscillations due to the interactions. This effect is counterintuitive because of the existence of markedly different frequency ranges for such two types of oscillations. These dynamics manifest themselves in multiline spectra in different combinations of Rabi and Bloch frequencies. The effect is promising as a framework of a new type of spectroscopy in nanoelectronics and electrical control of nanodevices.

Strong coupling between quantum dot and electromagnetic field: local field effects

Gregory Ya. Slepyan, A. Magyarov, С. А. Максименко +2 more

The influence of local fields on the excitonic Rabi oscillations in isolated, arbitrary shaped quantum dot (QD) has been theoretically investigated. Hamiltonian of the system "QD+electromagnetic field" has been obtained. Both QD interaction with classical electromagnetic field and ultrashort optical pulse has been considered. As a result, the bifurcation and anharmonism in the Rabi oscillations in a QD exposed to the monochromatic field have been predicted. The dependence of Rabi oscillations period on the QD depolarization parameter, which characterize local field has been obtained. It has been shown, that for the Gaussian pulse the final state of inversion as a function of peak pulse strength demonstrates step-like transitions.

Rabi oscillations in a semiconductor quantum dot: Influence of local fields

Gregory Ya. Slepyan, A. Magyarov, С. А. Максименко +2 more

The influence of electron-hole dipole-dipole interactions (local fields) on the excitonic Rabi oscillations in an isolated quantum dot (QD) has been theoretically investigated. An analysis for the QD interaction with monochromatic field and ultrashort Gaussian pulse has been performed. On the basis of optical Bloch equations the Rabi oscillation dynamics has been investigated. As a result, the bifurcation and essentially anharmonic regimes in the Rabi oscillations in a QD exposed to the monochromatic field have been predicted. The strong dependence of the period of Rabi oscillations on the QD depolarization has been revealed. For the Gaussian pulse it has been shown that the final state of inversion as a function of the pulse peak strength demonstrates step-like transitions.
