Coupling of quantum emitters to localized and propagating surface plasmons is considered from the viewpoint of enhancing spontaneous emission rates, revealing advantages of plasmon-based configurations as compared to purely dielectric structures.

Extraordinary Optical Transmission of Multimode Quantum Correlations via Localized Surface Plasmons

Benjamin J. Lawrie, Philip G. Evans, Raphael C. Pooser

We demonstrate the transduction of macroscopic quantum correlations by Ag localized surface plasmons (LSPs). Quantum noise reduction, or squeezed light, generated through four-wave mixing in Rb vapor, is coupled to a Ag nanohole array designed to exhibit LSP-mediated extraordinary-optical transmission spectrally coincident with the squeezed light source at 795 nm. This first demonstration of the coupling of quantum light into LSPs conserves spatially dependent quantum information, allowing for parallel quantum protocols in on-chip subwavelength quantum information processing.

Multi-mode Squeezed Light Transduction via Localized Surface Plasmons

Benjamin J. Lawrie, Philip G. Evans, Raphael C. Pooser

Extraordinary optical transmission provides a workbench for squeezed light transduction by localized-surface-plasmons. Initial squeezing of 3.5 dB resulted in 1.2-1.4 dB of squeezing after passing through a nanohole-array despite 80% attenuation.

Toward quantum plasmonic networks

Matthew Holtfrerich, Mohammadjavad Dowran, Roderick B. Davidson +3 more

Here, we demonstrate the transduction of macroscopic quantum entanglement by independent, distant plasmonic structures embedded in separate thin silver films. In particular, we show that the plasmon-mediated transmission through each film conserves spatially dependent, entangled quantum images, opening the door for the implementation of parallel quantum protocols, super-resolution imaging, and quantum plasmonic sensing geometries at the nanoscale level. The conservation of quantum information by the transduction process shows that continuous variable multi-mode entanglement is momentarily transferred from entangled beams of light to the space-like separated, completely independent plasmonic structures, thus providing a first important step toward establishing a multichannel quantum network across separate solid-state substrates.
