Abstract

A dissipative-driven system can generate steady-state entanglement robust to control parameters, while a quantum plasmonic system has the advantages of being strongly coupled to qubits and manipulation of electromagnetic waves in the subwavelength regime. We propose an effective multiqubit dissipative-driven entanglement model for a plasmonic system which takes into account coupling of the plasmonic cavity and qubits as well as the direct coupling between any two qubits and develop a numerical solution of the effective model on a scalable composite plasmonic structure. In this structure, the multiqubit entanglement under asymmetric detuning, especially for those combinations containing pairs of antisymmetric detuning qubits, achieves stronger steady-state entanglement measured by negativity and pairwise concurrence. The robustness of multiqubit entanglement against variations of the control parameters is also presented. In addition, the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death caused by the driving field in entanglement dynamics is investigated. Our model shows evidence that quantum plasmonics has great potential in multiqubit entanglement.

Detuning-determined qubit-qubit entanglement mediated by plasmons: An effective model for dissipative systems

Fan Zhang, Dongxing Zhao, Ying Gu +3 more

We theoretically investigate a general scheme for determining quantum entanglement of two detuned quantum dots (QDs) mediated by plasmon nanoparticle for weakly driven dissipative systems. By adiabatically eliminating the field operators, an effective model is proposed to find the underlying mechanism for this determination. Two specific hybrid systems composed of two QDs and a metallic nanoparticle (MNP) are considered. In the QD-MNP-QD system, the concurrence maxima generated by the detunings are several times larger than those in the resonance condition because of the robust superposition between the two separated entangled states. However, in the MNP-QD-QD system, the detunings generally reduce entanglement because the dipole-dipole interaction strongly suppresses the superposition of the entangled states. Moreover, the plateau of large concurrence exists for a broad range of parameters in both cases. The scheme is robust to dissipative systems and paves the way to improve entanglement in quantum information devices at the nanoscale.

Generation of robust entanglement in plasmonically coupled quantum dots driven by quantum squeezed light

Sina Soleimanikahnoj, Stephen K. Gray, Norbert F. Scherer

Can quantum light reliably generate entanglement in systems with dissipation? Our cavity quantum electrodynamics calculations demonstrate that a single-mode squeezed light source can robustly generate steady-state entanglement between a plasmonically coupled pair of quantum dots. The strong coupling of plasmons to the light source and the pairwise nature of squeezed photon generation enable entanglement between quantum dots. This entanglement, measured as concurrence, can be improved by replacing an entangled photon-pair pulsed source of light with continuous pumping of squeezed photons. Unlike previously introduced schemes, the concurrence is robust against variations in the system parameters. Specifically, the generation of entanglement does not rely on fine-tuning of the plasmon-quantum dot coupling. These results provide a new perspective for robust entangled-state preparation in open quantum systems.

Antibunching dynamics of plasmonically mediated entanglement generation

Eugene Dumitrescu, Benjamin J. Lawrie

Dissipative entanglement-generation protocols embrace environmental interactions to generate long-lived entangled states. In this paper, we report on the antibunching dynamics for a pair of actively driven quantum emitters coupled to a shared dissipative plasmonic reservoir. We find that antibunching is a universal signature for entangled states generated by dissipative means and examine its use as an entanglement diagnostic. We discuss the experimental validation of plasmonically mediated entanglement generation by Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry with picosecond timing resolution determined by an effective two-qubit Rabi frequency, and we analyze the robustness of entanglement generation with respect to perturbations in local detunings, couplings, and driving fields.

Dissipation-driven generation of two-qubit entanglement mediated by plasmonic waveguides

Diego Martín-Cano, Alejandro González-Tudela, Luis Martín-Moreno +3 more

We study the generation of entanglement between two distant qubits mediated by the surface plasmons of a metallic waveguide. We show that a V-shaped channel milled in a flat metallic surface is much more efficient for this purpose than a metallic cylinder. The role of the misalignments of the dipole moments of the qubits, an aspect of great importance for experimental implementations, is also studied. A careful analysis of the quantum dynamics of the system by means of a master equation shows that two-qubit entanglement generation is essentially due to the dissipative part of the effective qubit-qubit coupling provided by the surface plasmons. The influence of a coherent external pumping, needed to achieve a steady-state entanglement, is discussed. Finally, we pay attention to the question of how to get information experimentally on the degree of entanglement achieved in the system.

Evanescent-field-modulated two-qubit entanglement in an emitters-plasmon coupled system

Fan Zhang, Juanjuan Ren, Xueke Duan +3 more

Scalable integrated quantum information network calls for controllable entanglement modulation at subwavelength scale. To reduce laser disturbance among adjacent nanostructures, here we theoretically demonstrate two-qubit entanglement modulated by an evanescent field of a dielectric nanowire in an emitter-AgNP coupled system. This coupled system is considered as a nano-cavity system embedded in an evanescent vacuum. Through varying the amplitude of evanescent field, the concurrence of steady-state entanglement can be modified from 0 to 0.75. Because the interaction between emitters and the nanowire is much weaker than that inside the coupled system, the range of modulation for two-qubit entanglement is insensitive to their distance. The evanescent field controlled entangled state engineering provides the possibility to avoid optical crosstalk for on-chip steady-state entanglement.

Dissipation-driven entanglement between qubits mediated by plasmonic nanoantennas

Jiamin Hou, Karolina Słowik, F. Lederer +1 more

A scheme is proposed to generate a maximally entangled state between two qubits by means of a dissipation-driven process. To this end, we entangle the quantum states of qubits that are mutually coupled by a plasmonic nanoantenna. Upon enforcing a weak spectral asymmetry in the properties of the qubits, the steady-state probability to obtain a maximally entangled, subradiant state approaches unity. This occurs despite the high losses associated with the plasmonic nanoantenna that are usually considered as being detrimental. The entanglement scheme is shown to be quite robust against variations in the transition frequencies of the quantum dots and deviations in their prescribed position with respect to the nanoantenna. Our work paves the way for applications in the field of quantum computation in highly integrated optical circuits.
