Entangled photons enabled time-frequency-resolved coherent Raman spectroscopy and applications to electronic coherences at femtosecond scale

Zhedong Zhang, Tao Peng, Xiaoyu Nie +2 more

Quantum entanglement has emerged as a great resource for spectroscopy and its importance in two-photon spectrum and microscopy has been demonstrated. Current studies focus on the two-photon absorption, whereas the Raman spectroscopy with quantum entanglement still remains elusive, with outstanding issues of temporal and spectral resolutions. Here we study the new capabilities provided by entangled photons in coherent Raman spectroscopy. An ultrafast frequency-resolved Raman spectroscopy with entangled photons is developed for condensed-phase molecules, to probe the electronic and vibrational coherences. Using quantum correlation between the photons, the signal shows the capability of both temporal and spectral resolutions not accessible by either classical pulses or the fields without entanglement. We develop a microscopic theory for this Raman spectroscopy, revealing the electronic coherence dynamics even at timescale of 50fs. This suggests new paradigms of optical signals and spectroscopy, with potential to push detection below standard quantum limit.

Entangled Photons Enabled Time- and Frequency-Resolved Coherent Raman Spectroscopy in Condensed Phase Molecules

Zhedong Zhang, Tao Peng, Xiaoyu Nie +2 more

We develop an ultrafast frequency-resolved Raman spectroscopy with entangled photons for polyatomic molecules in condensed phases, to probe the electronic and vibrational coherences. Using quantum correlation between the photons, the signal shows the capability of both temporal and spectral resolutions that are not accessible by either classical pulses or the fields without entanglement. We develop a microscopic theory for this Raman spectroscopy, revealing the electronic coherence dynamics which often shows a rapid decay within $\sim$50fs. The heterodyne-detected Raman signal is further developed to capture the phases of electronic coherence and emission in real-time domain.

Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy with Intense Entangled-Photon Beams

Deependra Jadoun, Upendra Harbola, Vladimir Chernyak +1 more

Entangled photons carry nontrivial quantum correlations that defy classical physics and provide new tools for monitoring quantum dynamics in molecules. The use of low-flux entangled photons in molecular spectroscopy has been proposed in the past to probe excited-state dynamics with enhanced temporal and spectral resolutions. However, these techniques have been challenging to implement experimentally since the resulting signal has a low signal-to-noise ratio. The signal strength can be boosted by using intense entangled-photon beams, where multiple pairs of entangled photons are present in the environment. This allows the molecule under study to interact with both entangled and unentangled photons, where the classical component of the spectroscopic signal stemming from the latter can mask the spectral features associated with the former. In this Letter, we show how the signal arising from unentangled photons can be eliminated when intense entangled-photon beams are used in two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES), and demonstrate the advantage of photonic entanglement.
