Abstract

Efficiently routing the quantum signals between different channels is essential in a quantum multichannel network. We investigate the quantum routing in a multi-cross-shaped waveguide coupled to driven three-level systems. Numerical results show that the high routing capacity transferring from the input channel to the other channels can be explicitly enhanced by effective reflection potentials. The proposed system may be utilized as a scalable quantum device to control single-photon routing .

Single-photon routing in a multi- T -shaped waveguide

J. C. Huang, Jingwen Wang, Yao Wang +2 more

Abstract We investigate quantum routing in a multi- T -shaped waveguide coupled to driven cyclic three-level systems. Exact expressions of the scattering coefficients for the double- T and triple- T waveguides are obtained by employing the discrete-coordinate scattering and the transfer matrix approach, respectively. Our results show that high transfer-rate routing of single photons from the input infinite channel to the other channels can be effectively implemented in the extended multi- T configuration, in contrast with the single- T waveguide with the transfer of no more than 0.5. The proposed router may be utilized as a scalable quantum device to control single-photon routing.

Bidirectional highly-efficient quantum routing in a T-bulge-shaped waveguide*

Jiahao Zhang, Da-Yong He, Gangyin Luo +2 more

Quantum routing in a T-bulge-shaped waveguide system coupled with a driven cyclic three-level atom and a two-level atom is investigated theoretically. By employing the discrete-coordinate scattering method, exact expressions of the transport coefficients along three ports of the waveguide channels are derived. Our results show that bidirectional high transfer-rate single-photon routing between two channels can be effectively implemented, with the help of the effective potential generated by two atoms and the external driving. Moreover, multiple band zero-transmission emerges in the scattering spectra, arising from the quantum interferences among photons scattered by the boundary and the bulged resonators. The proposed system may suggest an efficient duplex router with filtering functions.

Quantum Routing of Single Photons with a Cyclic Three-Level System

Lan Zhou, Li‐Ping Yang, Yong Li +1 more

We propose an experimentally accessible single-photon routing scheme using a △-type three-level atom embedded in quantum multichannels composed of coupled-resonator waveguides. Via the on-demand classical field being applied to the atom, the router can extract a single photon from the incident channel, and then redirect it into another. The efficient function of the perfect reflection of the single-photon signal in the incident channel is rooted in the coherent resonance and the existence of photonic bound states.

Control of single-photon routing by another atom

J. C. Huang, Jingwen Wang, Yan Wang +1 more

Abstract Quantum routers with a routing rate of much more than 0.5 are important for quantum networks. Here we provide a scheme to significantly improve quantum routing performance. The proposal extends a recent scheme proposed by Zhou et al 2013 ( Phys. Rev. Lett. 111 103604) by locating another atom in the input channel to generate an effective reflection potential. Our numerical results show that the routing capability from the input channel to another channel can be remarkably enhanced, and even in the presence of moderately low cavity loss, the maximum transfer rate from one channel to another can be more than 0.9. Moreover, we find that there exists an optimum waveguide length to achieve the maximum transfer rate. Our scheme could feasibly be implemented experimentally for quantum routing with a high transfer rate.

Single-photon quantum router with multiple output ports

Wei-Bin Yan, Heng Fan

The routing capability is a requisite in quantum network. Although the quantum routing of signals has been investigated in various systems both in theory and experiment, the general form of quantum routing with many output terminals still needs to be explored. Here we propose a scheme to achieve the multi-channel quantum routing of the single photons in a waveguide-emitter system. The channels are composed by the waveguides and are connected by intermediate two-level emitters. By adjusting the intermediate emitters, the output channels of the input single photons can be controlled. This is demonstrated in the cases of one output channel, two output channels and the generic N output channels. The results show that the multi-channel quantum routing of single photons can be well achieved in the proposed system. This offers a scheme for the experimental realization of general quantum routing of single photons.

Nonreciprocal single-photon router in quantum networks

Guo-An Yan, Hua Lu

Abstract High-efficiency single-photon routing of photon signals between different quantum channels is of great importance for the quantum networks with the ability to coherently transfer quantum states between the desired sender and receiver nodes. We proposed an efficient scheme for realizing quantum routers via multiple semi-infinite coupled-resonator waveguides ( CRWs ) coupled to cavities nonreciprocally. Numerical results show that with the change of the phase difference value, the quantum routing function of multiple output ports can be realized, in the meantime, the information conversion rate can almost reach 100%. The optimal conditions for these phenomena are obtained by the time-reversal symmetry breaking the nonreciprocal of the single-photon transport. Moreover, we have also described a scalable scheme that can extend the router to an arbitrary number of outputs. Our results pave the way to design high-quality quantum devices based on breaking time-reversal symmetry waveguide-cavity systems.
