Published Sep 23, 2015• 0 citations

Abstract

We have investigated the quantum dynamics of a laser pumped quantum dot placed on a semiconductor beam suspended in an optical cavity. We demonstrate that optical and vibrational modes are correlated and we attest the generation of entanglement involving mechanical and optical degrees of freedom.

Generation of a two photon entangled states from a quantum dot embedded in a microcavity

Jitendra Kumar Verma, Pradyumna K. Pathak

We propose methods for generating entangled two photon state. Where, a single quantum dot is embedded in a photonic microcavity having two orthogonal modes. The quantum dot is off- resonantly coupled to the cavity through phonon mediated coupling. The emitted photons are entangled either in polarization degrees of freedom or in numbers. We also discuss effect of exciton- phonon coupling on entanglement.

Generation and signatures of entanglement in cavity quantum electrodynamics

D. Pagel, Holger Fehske

We inspect different quantum optical setups from the viewpoint of entanglement generation and detection. As a first step we consider a planar semiconductor microcavity and optimize the Bell-type correlations and their robustness against dephasing to create strong bipartite entanglement between polariton branches, which subsequently can be transfered to the emitted photons. In a second step, in order to create multipartite entangled light, we place the microcavity in an optical resonator driven by pump pulses with a frequency comb spectrum. For this system we show how phase matching of all comb modes can be achieved and will lead to indistinguishable scattering processes causing entanglement among every mode. Finally we demonstrate the buildup of entanglement in the dissipative dynamics of emitters coupled to a single cavity photon mode driven by an external laser. From a Floquet master equation approach we find that entanglement production predominates during the first few laser oscillation periods.

Cavity-Mediated Molecular Entanglement and Generation of Non-classical States of Light

Davis M. Welakuh, Spyros Tserkis, Scott E. Smart +1 more

The generation and control of entanglement in a quantum mechanical system are critical elements of nearly all quantum applications. Molecular systems are promising candidates, with numerous degrees of freedom able to be targeted. However, knowledge of intersystem entanglement mechanisms in such systems is limited. In this work, we demonstrate the generation of entanglement between vibrational degrees of freedom in molecules via strong coupling to a cavity mode driven by a weak coherent field. In a bimolecular system, we show that entanglement can be generated not only between the cavity and molecular system but also between molecules. This process also results in the generation of nonclassical states of light, providing potential pathways for harnessing entanglement in molecular systems.

Entanglement of a laser-driven pair of two-level qubits via its phonon environment

Elena Cecoi, Viorel Ciornea, Аурелиан Исар +1 more

The entanglement dynamics of a laser-pumped two-level quantum dot pair is investigated in the steady state. The closely spaced two-level emitters, embedded in a semiconductor substrate, interact with both the environmental vacuum modes of the electromagnetic field reservoir as well as with the lattice vibrational phonon thermostat. We have found that the entanglement among the pair’s components is substantially enhanced due to the presence of the phonon subsystem. The reason is phonon-induced decay among the symmetrical and antisymmetrical two-qubit collective states and, consequently, the population of the latter one. This also means that through thermal phonon bath engineering one can access the subradiant two-particle cooperative state.

Quantum correlations among optical and vibrational quanta

Sergiu Carlig, Mihai Macovei

We investigate the feasibility of correlating an optical cavity field and a vibrational phonon mode. A laser pumped quantum dot fixed on a nanomechanical resonator beam interacts as a whole with the optical resonator mode. When the quantum dot variables are faster than the optical and phonon ones, we obtain a final master equation describing the involved modes only. Increasing the temperature, which directly affects the vibrational degrees of freedom, one can as well influence the cavity photon intensity, i.e., the optical and phonon modes are correlated. Furthermore, the corresponding Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is violated demonstrating the quantum nature of those correlations.
