A Compact, Robust, and Tunable Open Microcavity Platform for Solid-State Quantum Electrodynamics

Open microcavities provide a powerful platform for studying cavity quantum electrodynamics in solid-state systems. However, operating open microcavities at cryogenic temperatures, as required for many solid-state quantum emitters, typically demands bulky and cryostat-specific vibration-mitigation setups. Here we report a compact, robust, and tunable mechanical host for an open microcavity. The complete mechanical assembly fits within a footprint of $1'' \times 1'' \times 0.5''$. Using this mechanical host, we observe no vibration-induced cavity broadening for an open microcavity with finesse exceeding 1,000 without cryostat customization or active locking. The assembly also enables in situ tuning of the cavity resonance over 3 nm, and the resonance of the same cavity remains within this range across multiple cooldowns. To further showcase the capability of this assembly, we demonstrate coupling between an InGaAs quantum dot and an open microcavity with a cooperativity exceeding unity. This platform provides a versatile testbed for fundamental cavity quantum electrodynamics and a scalable route to portable quantum light sources and spin-photon interfaces for quantum repeaters, quantum networks, and photonic quantum computing.

Arrays of open, independently tunable microcavities

Optical cavities are of central importance in numerous areas of physics, including precision measurement, cavity optomechanics and cavity quantum electrodynamics. The miniaturisation and scaling to large numbers of sites is of interest for many of these applications, in particular for quantum computation and simulation. Here we present the first scaled microcavity system which enables the creation of large numbers of highly uniform, tunable light-matter interfaces using ions, neutral atoms or solid-state qubits. The microcavities are created by means of silicon micro-fabrication, are coupled directly to optical fibres and can be independently tuned to the chosen frequency, paving the way for arbitrarily large networks of optical microcavities.
