Abstract

We develop the analytic theory describing the formation and evolution of entangled quantum states for a fermionic quantum emitter coupled simultaneously to a quantized electromagnetic field in a nanocavity and quantized phonon or mechanical vibrational modes. The theory is applicable to a broad range of cavity quantum optomechanics problems and emerging research on plasmonic nanocavities coupled to single molecules and other quantum emitters. The optimal conditions for a tripartite entanglement are realized near the parametric resonances in a coupled system. The model includes dissipation and decoherence effects due to coupling of the fermion, photon, and phonon subsystems to their dissipative reservoirs within the stochastic evolution approach, which is derived from the Heisenberg-Langevin formalism. Our theory provides analytic expressions for the time evolution of the quantum state and observables and the emission spectra. The limit of a classical acoustic pumping and the interplay between parametric and standard one-photon resonances are analyzed.

Dynamics and control of entangled electron-photon states in nanophotonic systems with time-variable parameters

Qianfan Chen, Yongrui Wang, Sultan AlMutairi +3 more

We study the dynamics of strongly coupled nanophotonic systems with time-variable parameters. The approximate analytic solutions are obtained for a broad class of open quantum systems including a two-level fermion emitter strongly coupled to a multimode quantized electromagnetic field in a cavity with time-varying cavity resonances or the electron transition energy. The coupling of the fermion and photon subsystems to their dissipative reservoirs is included within the stochastic equation of evolution approach, which is equivalent to the Lindblad approximation in the master equation formalism. The analytic solutions for the quantum states and the observables are obtained under the approximation that the rate of parameter modulation and the amplitude of the frequency modulation are much smaller than the optical transition frequencies. At the same time, they can be arbitrary with respect to the generalized Rabi oscillation frequency, which determines the coherent dynamics. Therefore, our analytic theory can be applied to an arbitrary modulation of the parameters, both slower and faster than the Rabi frequency, for complete control of the quantum state. In particular, we demonstrate protocols for switching on and off the entanglement between the fermionic and photonic degrees of freedom, swapping between the quantum states, and the decoupling of the fermionic qubit from the cavity field due to modulation-induced transparency.

Quantum dynamics and dissipation-driven formation of long-lived entangled states in strongly-coupled many-qubit systems in solid-state nanocavities

Alexey A. Belyanin, Mikhail D. Tokman, Alex Behne +3 more

We study quantum dynamics of many-qubit systems strongly coupled to a quantized electromagnetic cavity field in the presence of decoherence and dissipation for both fermions and cavity photons, and taking into account the nonuniform cavity field and the spread of qubit transition frequencies. Analytic solutions for quantum state amplitudes and observables are derived for a broad class of open quantum systems. We show that depending on the initial state preparation, the dissipation in a cavity may drive the system into many-qubit entangled dark states that live much longer than the decay time of the cavity field.

Universal model of strong coupling at the nonlinear resonance in open cavity-QED systems

Mikhail D. Tokman, Maria Erukhimova, Qianfan Chen +1 more

Many molecular, quantum-dot, and optomechanical nanocavity-QED systems demonstrate strong nonlinear interactions between electrons, photons, and phonon (vibrational) modes. We show that such systems can be described by a universal model in the vicinity of the nonlinear resonance involving all three degrees of freedom. We solve the nonperturbative quantum dynamics in the strong-coupling regime of the nonlinear resonance, taking into account quantization, dissipation, and fluctuations of all fields. We find analytic solutions for quantum states in the rotating-wave approximation which demonstrate tripartite quantum entanglement once the strong-coupling regime is reached. We show how the strong coupling at the nonlinear resonance modifies photon emission and vibrational spectra, and how the observed spectra can be used to extract information about relaxation rates and the nonlinear coupling strength in specific systems.

Dissipation-driven formation of entangled dark states in strongly coupled inhomogeneous many-qubit systems in solid-state nanocavities

Mikhail D. Tokman, Alex Behne, Brandon Torres +3 more

We study quantum dynamics of many-qubit systems strongly coupled to a quantized electromagnetic cavity field in the presence of decoherence and dissipation for both quantum emitters and cavity photons, taking into account the varying coupling strength of different qubits to the cavity field and the spread of their transition frequencies. Compact analytic solutions for time-dependent quantum state amplitudes and observables are derived for a broad class of open quantum systems in Lindblad approximation with the use of the stochastic Schr\"odinger equation approach. We show that depending on the initial quantum state preparation, an ensemble of qubits can evolve into a rich variety of many-qubit entangled states with destructive or constructive interference between the qubits. In particular, when only a small fraction of qubits are initially excited, the dissipation in a cavity will inevitably drive the system into robust dark states that are completely decoupled from the cavity and live much longer than the decay time of the cavity field. We also determine the conditions under which coherent coupling to the quantized cavity field overcomes the dephasing caused by a spread of transition frequencies in multiqubit systems and leads to the formation of a decoupled dark state.
