MOMENTUM ENTANGLEMENT OF PHOTON–EXCITON

Abstract

We studied the entanglement of a photon and an exciton in semiconductors. Our model shows a superhigh degree of entanglement between the exciton and the emitted photon, higher than that between the atom and the photon.11 We obtained the simple analytical formulas for both R and K which are the specific parameters of the entanglement. We also investigated the dependence of entanglement on the main parameters of the exciton in semiconductors. These results are in a good agreement with previous works.

Quantifying Exciton-Photon Entanglement in Semiconductor Microcavities: A Closed Formula for Strong and Weak Coupling Regimes

Rubén Darío Guerrero

Semiconductor microcavities have great potential for quantum information science, quantum optics, and quantum sensing. Researchers designing devices based on these microcavities could benefit from having accurate figures of merit to guide their design and enhance the entanglement latency and strength of their devices. This article presents a closed formula for computing the exciton-photon concurrence in semiconductor microcavities. The formula is tailored for the ultralow density limit of both excitons and photons, allowing a better understanding of the entanglement properties in this regime. The closed formula allows for accurate and easy quantification of the exciton-photon coupling strength in terms of the parameters of the system like the couplings, frequencies, and linewidths, which has applications in quantum optics and quantum information science. The presented formulas can be used in rational microcavity design for various applications, such as single-photon sources, quantum light sources, and optoelectronic devices. This contributes to the systematic design and control of entanglement properties of quantum devices tailored for specific tasks in quantum information science, quantum optics, and quantum sensing. In summary, this work represents a valuable contribution to both practical applications and fundamental research in the fields of nanostructures, quantum optics, and quantum information science.

Nonclassical Correlation of Polarization Entangled Photons in a Biexciton-Exciton Cascade

Sumanta Das, G. S. Agarwal

Abstract. We develop a theoretical model to study the Intensity-Intensity correlation of polarization entangled photons emitted in a biexciton-exciton cascade. We calculate the degree of correlation and show how polarization correlation are affected by the presence of dephasing and energy level splitting of the excitonic states. Our theoretical calculations are in agreement with the recent observation of polarization dependent Intensity-Intensity correlations from a single semiconductor quantum dot [R. M. Stevenson et. al. Nature 439, 179 (2006)]. Our model can be extended to study polarization entangled photon emission in coupled quantum dot systems.

Auto- and Cross-Correlation-Functions as entanglement quantifiers in semiconductor microcavities

Rubén Darío Guerrero

The dynamics of the exciton-photon entanglement, in a semiconductor microcavity is analyzed. Finding a closed analytical expression for the time evolution of the concurrence. Using as model two coupled, quantum oscillators with detuning between them. Supposing that the system is at a temperature closer to zero. And that the quantum state of the system, remains in the one excitation sector of the total Hilbert space. The former theoretical setup, describes the excitons coupled to the photons in the microcavity accurately, for a system with ultra low density of excitons. We remark in first place, that our closed expression for the concurrence dynamics. Enable us to establish a good analytical criterion, to determine the coupling dynamical regime, in which the system is. Even more, we show that our criterion, is in good agreement with typically accepted, experimental signatures for strong, and wake coupling regimes. Finally we present theoretical evidence, suggesting that the entanglement between the exciton and the photon. Can be measured in experiments, vía the cross correlation contribution, to the time resolved spectra of the system.

Momentum entanglement and disentanglement between an atom and a photon

Rui Guo, Hong Mei Guo

With the quantum interference between two transition pathways, we demonstrate a scheme to coherently control the momentum entanglement between a single atom and a single photon. The unavoidable disentanglement is also studied from the first principle, which indicates that the stably entangled atom-photon system with superhigh degree of entanglement may be realized with this scheme under certain conditions.

Ultimate photon entanglement in biexciton cascade

V. N. Mantsevich, D. S. Smirnov, E. L. Ivchenko

The polarization entanglement of photons emitted by semiconductor quantum dots is unavoidably limited by the spin fluctuations of the host lattice nuclei. To overcome this limitation, we develop a theory of entangled photon pair generation by a symmetric colloidal quantum dot mediated by a triplet exciton. We derive general analytical expressions for the concurrence as a function of the hyperfine interaction strength and show that it is intrinsically higher than that in conventional doublet-exciton systems such as self-assembled quantum dots. The concurrence sensitively depends on the shape anisotropy and the strain applied to a nanocrystal. In particular, we uncover a possibility of completely suppressing the detrimental effect of the hyperfine interaction due to the interplay between nanocrystal anisotropy and electron-hole exchange interaction. We argue that this represents the ultimate limit for the generation of entangled photon pairs by semiconductor quantum dots.
