Abstract

We investigate interacting dark resonances type physics with plasmonic metamolecule consisting of a multi-layered radiative (plasmonic) atom coupled to cascaded subradiant (dark) atoms. In addition to sub-natural spectral response, these metamolecules also exhibits efficient intramolecular excitation transfer.

We theoretically investigate interacting dark resonances in a plasmonic meta-molecule comprising a bright nano-antenna coupled to cascaded dark elements. This structure enables efficient energy transfer and exhibits sub-natural spectral response analogous to the atomic counterpart.

Efficient entanglement between two long-distance quantum emitters mediated by dark-gap-plasmon waveguides

Hua Qiu, Yue You, Xi-Hua Guan +3 more

We theoretically investigate the entanglement between two well-separated quantum emitters (QEs) mediated by dark-gap-plasmon waveguides. Both the plasmon-QE coupling strength and the energy transfer efficiency between QEs are crucial for entanglement based on analytical results. To overcome the low energy transfer efficiency brought by common plasmonic waveguides, we construct a simple dark-gap-plasmon waveguide. Such a structure consists of two parallel silver nanowires, where dark plasmon modes are formed in the gap between the two nanowires. The leaky (or radiative) feature of propagating plasmons is highly suppressed, which results in the quality factors of the dark plasmon modes reaching the material limit. Thus, the energy transfer efficiency can reach more than 94% with a distance even over ten working wavelengths ($>10\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\textmu{}\mathrm{m}$). Meanwhile, by introducing a tip dimer structure in the nanowire gap, the plasmon-QE coupling can reach a strong coupling regime with realistic parameters. The influences from the geometric parameters of the system are also considered. The energy transfer efficiency is robust to the geometric variations due to the dark feature of the plasmon responses.

Quantum interference effects induced by interacting dark resonances

Mikhail D. Lukin, Susanne F. Yelin, Michael Fleischhauer +1 more

We predict the possibility of sharp, high-contrast resonances in the optical response of a broad class of systems, wherein interference effects are generated by coherent perturbation or interaction of dark states. The properties of these resonances can be manipulated to design a desired atomic response.
