Abstract

We examine the strong-coupling quantum-dot-photon dynamics at the bandedge of a realistic, lossy, coupled-cavity waveguide and show that the signatures of bandedge coupling and Rabi oscillations are transmitted down the waveguide.

Coherent optical spectroscopy of a semiconductor quantum dot cavity QED system in the strong coupling regime

Kartik A. Srinivasan, Oskar J. Painter

Coherent optical spectroscopy of a strongly-coupled semiconductor microcavity-quantum dot system is performed using a fiber taper waveguide to efficiently access the system. Vacuum Rabi splitting under weak driving and saturation under strong driving are observed.

Nonlinear temporal dynamics of a strongly coupled quantum-dot–cavity system

Arka Majumdar, Dirk Englund, Michal Bajcsy +1 more

We theoretically analyze the temporal dynamics of strongly coupled quantum-dot--cavity system driven by a resonant laser pulse and observe the signature of Rabi oscillation in the time-resolved response of the system (i.e., in the numerically calculated cavity output). We derive simplified linear and nonlinear semiclassical models that approximate well the system's behavior in the limits of high- and low-power driving pulses and describe the role of quantum coherence in the exact dynamics of the system. Finally, we also present time-resolved transmission measurements showing the dynamics of a quantum-dot--cavity system in the presence of a short laser pulse.

Quantum Rabi oscillations of a qubit strongly coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide

Ya. S. Greenberg, A. A. Shtygashev, O. A. Chuikin +2 more

We theoretically investigate quantum Rabi oscillations in a system consisting of a two-level atom (qubit) strongly coupled to a one-dimensional open waveguide. In contrast to conventional cavity quantum electrodynamics, the qubit interacts with a continuum of propagating modes, which gives rise to fundamentally different dynamical behavior. Within the rotating-wave approximation, we express the multimode Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian in terms of collective bosonic operators and show that the system possesses two integrals of motion, enabling an exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in the single-excitation subspace. We show that for a strongly interacting qubit-photon system, the dynamics are captured by a reduced two-level model. In this framework, each level is defined as the product of the atomic excited state and a specific field mode, which takes the form of a multiphoton Fock-like state. In this picture, the Rabi oscillations represent a collective phenomenon corresponding to oscillations between multiphoton states differing by a single photon. We then extend our analysis to multiphoton processes in which the initial field is a coherent state with a continuous spectrum. In this case, the Rabi frequency is shown to be sensitive to the spectral profile of the function that generates the coherent state.

Quantum Coherent Feedback Control With Photons

Haijin Ding, Guofeng Zhang

The purpose of this article is to study two-photon dynamics induced by the coherent feedback control of a cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED) system coupled to a waveguide. In this setup, the two-level system in the cavity can work as a photon source, and the photon emitted into the waveguide can reinteract with the cavity-QED system many times after the transmission and reflection in the waveguide, during which the feedback can tune the number of the photons in and out of the cavity. We analyze the dynamics of two-photon processes in this coherent feedback network in two scenarios: the continuous mode coupling scheme and the discrete periodic mode coupling scheme between the waveguide and cavity. The difference of these coupling schemes is due to their relative scales and the number of semitransparent mirrors for coupling. Specifically, in the continuous mode coupling scheme, the generation of two-photon states is influenced by the length of the feedback loop by the waveguide and the coupling strength between the waveguide and the cavity-QED system. By tuning the length of the waveguide and the coupling strength, we are able to generate two-photon states efficiently. In the discrete periodic mode coupling scheme, the Rabi oscillation in the cavity can be stabilized and there are no notable two-photon states in the waveguide.

Collective Rabi dynamics of electromagnetically coupled quantum-dot ensembles

Connor Glosser, B. Shanker, Carlo Piermarocchi

Rabi oscillations typify the inherent nonlinearity of optical excitations in quantum dots. Using an integral kernel formulation to solve the three-dimensional Maxwell-Bloch equations in ensembles of up to ${10}^{4}$ quantum dots, we observe features in Rabi oscillations due to the interplay of nonlinearity, nonequilibrium excitation, and electromagnetic coupling between the dots. This approach allows us to observe the dynamics of each dot in the ensemble without resorting to spatial averages. Our simulations predict synchronized multiplets of dots that exchange energy, dots that dynamically couple to screen the effect of incident external radiation, localization of the polarization due to randomness and interactions, as well as wavelength-scale regions of enhanced and suppressed polarization.
