Remote control of extraordinary transmission through subwavelength hole arrays

Abstract

For pairs of entangled photons, each seems to know about the state of the other. Using this property of quantum entanglement, we can remotely control the extraordinary optical transmission through subwavelength holes in a metal plate. Our method can also be used for entanglement distillation.

Remotely Establishing Polarization Entanglement by Entanglement Transfer

Martin Bohmann, Sebastian Ecker, Philipp Sohr +2 more

We experimentally establish polarization entanglement between photon pairs distributed over noisy polarization channels. We exploit energy-time entanglement for transmission, and then transfer the entangled state at the receivers to the polarization domain.

Photonic entanglement processing with a single sub-wavelength structure

Gabriel Molina‐Terriza, Alexander Büse, Mathieu L. Juan +1 more

A fundamental problem of using photonic states as carriers of quantum information is that they interact weakly with matter and that the interaction volume is typically limited by the wavelength of light. The use of metallic structures in quantum plasmonics has the potential to alleviate these problems. Here, we present the first results showing that a single subwavelength plasmonic nanoaperture can controllably modify the quantum state of light. We achieve this effect by using a specially engineered two photon state to match the properties of the nanoaperture.

Energy-Time Entanglement Preservation in Plasmon-Assisted Light Transmission

Sylvain Fasel, F. Robin, Esteban Moreno +3 more

We report on experimental evidence of the preservation of the energy-time entanglement of a pair of photons after a photon-plasmon-photon conversion. This preservation is observed in two different plasmon conversion experiments, namely, extraordinary optical transmission through subwavelength metallic hole arrays and long range surface plasmon propagation in metallic waveguides. Plasmons are shown to coherently exist at two different times separated by much more than their lifetimes. This kind of entanglement involving light and matter is expected to be useful for future processing and storing of quantum information.

Remote implementation of quantum operations

Susana F. Huelga, Martin Bodo Plenio, Guo‐Yong Xiang +2 more

Shared entanglement allows, under certain conditions, the remote implementation of quantum operations. We revise and extend recent theoretical results on the remote control of quantum systems as well as experimental results on the remote manipulation of photonic qubits via linear optical elements.

“Remote Control” of coherent light absorption with entangled photons

Using a source of entangled photons we show that polarization-sensitive detection of the photons can be used to switch “on” and “off” absorption of the other photon in a thin plasmonic metamaterial film.

Feedback-optimized extraordinary optical transmission of continuous-variable entangled states

Dong Wang, Chuanqing Xia, Qianjin Wang +4 more

We report on the feedback-optimized extraordinary optical transmission of continuous-variable entangled states through a hexagonal metal-hole array. The continuous-variable entanglements from a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier are first demonstrated to survive after a photon-plasmon-photon conversion process. By controlling the reflected light from the metal-hole array, a significant enhancement of quantum correlations has then been experimentally achieved, compared to the case without such coherent feedback control. This result presents a useful technique to efficiently recover the substantial reflective losses in plasmonic circuits for quantum information processing.
