Abstract

The strong coupling regime between a photonic cavity and an artificial atom in 4H-Silicon Carbide-on-insulator photonics is demonstrated, using a high-finesse whispering gallery mode resonator and a single silicon vacancy center.

Cavity QED with chip-based toroidal microresonators

Barak Dayan, T. Aoki, E. Wilcut +8 more

We report the demonstration of strong coupling between single Cesium atoms and a high-Q chip-based microresonator. Our toroidal microresonators are compact, Si chip-based whispering gallery mode resonators that confine light to small volumes with extremely low losses, and are manufactured in large numbers by standard lithographic techniques. Combined with the capability to couple efficiently light to and from these microresonators by a tapered optical fiber, toroidal microresonators offer a promising avenue towards scalable quantum networks. Experimentally, laser cooled Cs atoms are dropped onto a toroidal microresonator while a probe beam is critically coupled to the cavity mode. When an atom interacts with the cavity, it modifies the resonance spectrum of the cavity, leading to rejection of some of the probe light from the cavity, and thus to an increase in the output power. By observing such transit events while systematically detuning the cavity from the atomic resonance, we determine the maximal accessible single-photon Rabi frequency of Ω0/2π ≈ (100 ± 24) MHz. This value puts our system in the regime of strong coupling, being significantly larger than the dissipation rates in our system.

Quantum photonics in silicon carbide microresonators: multimode and multi-emitter correlations

Daniil M. Lukin, Melissa A. Guidry

Silicon carbide as a host material uniquely combines CMOS compatible photonics with high-quality optically interfaced qubits and strong optical nonlinearities. In this talk, I will discuss the use of silicon carbide microresonators to explore multimode correlations built through spontaneous pair generation via the optical nonlinearity as well as all-to-all coupling of quantum emitters. I will discuss opportunities to use inverse design and as well as classical cavity design methods for engineering these correlations.

Coupling of silicon-vacancy centers to a single crystal diamond cavity

Jonathan C. Lee, Igor Aharonovich, Andrew P. Magyar +2 more

Optical coupling of an ensemble of silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers to single-crystal diamond microdisk cavities is demonstrated. The cavities are fabricated from a single-crystal diamond membrane generated by ion implantation and electrochemical liftoff followed by homo-epitaxial overgrowth. Whispering gallery modes spectrally overlap with the zero-phonon line (ZPL) of the SiV centers and exhibit quality factors ∼ 2200. Lifetime reduction from 1.8 ns to 1.48 ns is observed from SiV centers in the cavity compared to those in the membrane outside the cavity. These results are pivotal in developing diamond integrated photonics networks.

Strong Coupling between Single Atoms and Nontransversal Photons

Christian Junge, Danny G. O’Shea, Jürgen Volz +1 more

Light is often described as a fully transverse-polarized wave, i.e., with an electric field vector that is orthogonal to the direction of propagation. However, light confined in dielectric structures such as optical waveguides or whispering-gallery-mode microresonators can have a strong longitudinal polarization component. Here, using single (85)Rb atoms strongly coupled to a whispering-gallery-mode microresonator, we experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that the presence of this longitudinal polarization fundamentally alters the interaction between light and matter.
