Propagation of a Single Photon in a 1-D Waveguide Coupled to a V-Type Atom

Abstract

The area of waveguide quantum electrodynamics plays a signi cant role in many quantum technology applications. Photonic waveguides can be used to coherently transport photon pulses and can also efficiently increase the light-matter interaction strength. The work is done by Shen and Fan [1, 2] on the propagation of a photon pulse in a 1-D waveguide coupled to a single two-level emitter shows that a photon pulse can undergo complete reflection or transmission through the waveguide by controlling the coupling strength between the atom and the guided photon. We propose a V-type atomic system embedded in a 1-D waveguide and study the properties of an incoming photon pulse in the waveguide. We show that the driving field, which couples one of the atomic transitions, can be used as a controlling parameter to allow the photon pulse to be reflected or transmitted through the waveguide. As there reflection and transmission of the incident photon pulse can be externally controlled in our system, in comparison to the system suggested by Shen and Fan [1, 2], the proposed system in this thesis is more practiced than the system [1, 2]

Single-photon pulse transport in a waveguide coupled with a quantum system

Adam Sulieman Ibrahim Abdalla, Suliman Alameen, Mohamed Saeid Gabreel Hamed +2 more

We study the transmission and reflection properties of a single-photon pulse in a one-dimensional waveguide side coupled with a Jaynes-Cummings system, namely, a multi-cavity with an embedded Rydberg atom. A Single-photon pulse is applied to tune the atoms energy spectrum, and varying it can bring the atomic qubit transition on or off-resonance for the cavity. The transmission and reflection behavior are systematically explored by a real-space model Hamiltonian and we find that the coupling strength between the waveguide and the side optical cavity exerts a tremendous impact on it. The influence of cavity and atomic dissipations and the incident pulse width on the transport properties of the single-photon is also investigated simultaneously. Based on these phenomena, we point out the possibility of utilizing this system as a single-photon transport in practice and has potential applications in quantum information.

Resonator mediated controlling single photon transport in one-dimensional waveguide coupling to a giant atom

Guoqing Cai, Yunning Lu, Zhao Liu +2 more

We theoretically investigate coherent controlling single photon transport in one-dimensional waveguide coupled to a giant atom interacting with a resonator. The giant atom is considered as a Λ-type system. One transition of the atom couples to the waveguide and the other one is driven by the resonator. Single photon scattering amplitudes are calculated for three kinds of coupling schematics, respectively. Both the analytical and numerical results show that single photon scattering properties can be manipulated by adjusting the size of the giant atom, the coupling strengths of the waveguide-resonator and resonator-giant atom. Specifically, the transmission spectra exhibit two Rabi-splitting dips and the locations of the dips are strongly dependent on the size of the giant atom (GA). It also shows that the resonant single photon can be tuned from being transmitted to being reflected by controlling the coupling strength. Our results may find applications in designing quantum devices based on giant atom at single-photon level.

Coherent field-controlled rectification in one-dimension waveguide coupling to three-level atoms system

Xiangyang Yu, Yongjie Li, Longzhao Lu

We study the dynamics of the single-photon pulse (SPP) propagating through a pair of V-type three-level atoms coupled to a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide. The time evolutions of the two atoms can be influenced by the phase difference of the two external fields driving the atoms. We show that the SPP unidirectional propagation in the 1D waveguide can be controlled by the phase difference of the two external fields, and the rectifying efficiency increases as the bandwidth of the SPP decreases. The system can serve as the basis of all-optical devices, such as optical diode, optical isolator and optical rectifier.

Controllable single-photon transport in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide coupled to two nanocavities interacting with atoms

Wenan Li, Xiaoshi Li, Jin-Jiang Huang +3 more

We investigate controllable single-photon transport in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide coupled to two nanocavities interacting with atoms. The reflection and transmission coefficients for a single photon propagating in such a system are deduced by using the discrete coordinates approach. The resonator–nanocavity coupling strength, atom–nanocavity coupling coefficient, and the detuning between the incident photon and the atom, respectively, which affect the transport properties of the single photon, are analyzed. It is found that some useful information, such as the atom–nanocavity coupling strength, can be extracted from the single-photon transmission spectrum under proper parameter settings. We also study how the coupling between two nanocavities affects the single-photon transmission property.

Coherent Control of Photon Transmission in a Coupled-Resonator Waveguide Embedded in a Semiconductor Quantum Dot

Ling-Ming Gu

We theoretically investigate the single photon transport in a coupled resonator waveguide embedded in a semiconductor quantum dot with a V-type system. The transmission and reflection amplitudes are obtained by using a discrete coordinates approach. It is shown that the photon transport properties can be controlled by the energy detuning between the two excited states of the V-type system, and the coupling strength between the photon and the V-type system. We also compare the single photon transport properties in the waveguide with sinusoidal and linear dispersion relations.

Single-photon Transport in a Waveguide-cavity-emitter System

Xue-jian Sun, WenXiao Liu, Hao Chen +3 more

Abstract We investigate the single-photon transport properties in a hybrid waveguide quantum electrodynamics system, in which a one-dimensional waveguide is simultaneously coupled to a cavity and a driven Λ-type three-level atom. The cavity and the atom are also coupled to each other. We show that when the waveguide is coupled to the cavity and the atom at the same point, double electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) can be observed from the system. The physical mechanism of the double EIT effect has been given by setting up the eigenstate structure for the whole system. When the waveguide is coupled to the cavity and the atom at different points, we demonstrate that the single-photon transmission spectra can be effectively controlled by adjusting the relative separation between the cavity and the atom. Moreover, this non-zero relative separation can lead to the occurrence of the controllable nonreciprocal scattering effect. These results have potential applications in realization of photonic coherent control.
