二维方形量子点体系等离激元的量子化

量子点体系等离激元的研究是光电子学领域的热点.为进一步加深和完善对等离激元的量子效应的认识,本文利用紧束缚近似和线性响应理论研究了二维方形量子点体系对外场的集体响应.结果表明,当外场频率等于等离激元的频率时,量子点体系会有强烈的电荷振荡,并伴随着能量的极大吸收和近场的增强.在量子点中,等离子体存在分立的元激发.等离子体元激发的个数将随着量子点尺寸和电子个数的增加而增加.随量子点尺寸的增加,分立的等离激元将逐步呈现准连续的特性,即过渡为经典连续的等离激元,其频谱曲线演化为经典的色散曲线.结果还表明:随量子点尺寸的增加,等离激元的频率会红移,等离激元的激发强度会增大;随量子点中电子数的增加,等离激元的频率会蓝移,等离激元的激发强度会增大.

等离激元增强的石墨烯光吸收

石墨烯中等离激元具有特殊的光电性质,其和入射光的强烈耦合可以引起光吸收的增强.本文基于时域有限差分法和多体自洽场理论研究了等离激元对处于光学谐振腔中的石墨烯光吸收的影响.由于石墨烯中等离激元与入射光动量和能量不匹配而不能直接相互作用,因此石墨烯上施加了金属光栅结构.研究发现光栅结构能够对入射光进行动量补偿并且能够引起其下石墨烯中的电场强度产生很大程度增强,从而导致在该石墨烯结构中太赫兹等离激元和入射光发生强烈耦合而产生太赫兹等离极化激元,同时引起石墨烯光吸收的增强.希望本文能够加深对石墨烯光电特性的理解以及可以为基于石墨烯的太赫兹光电装置提供一定的理论依据.

Foundations of Plasmonics

Plasma physics is a very mature field, studied extensively for well over a century. The cross-disciplinary field of plasmonics (electromagnetics of metallic nanostructures), on the other hand, with its potential for an extraordinary light control through novel class of materials and the resulting applications, has become very fashionable only recently. Inevitably, as a result of this rapid development, the deep connections with the mother discipline, the plasma physics, have sometimes been overlooked. The goal of this work is to review some of these basic connections, which are relevant, and ultimately helpful for researchers in the new field. We focus on the solid-state structured plasmas and address the issue of classical versus quantum treatments. We discuss the little known subtleties of the surface plasmons at metallic surfaces (e.g. multipole plasmons) and their consequences on plasmonics of the textured metallic films. Plasmonics of nanoparticles has been preceded by studies of plasma effects in metallic clusters and semiconducting quantum dots (QDs). In this context, we discuss the little known connection between the Mie resonance in metallic particles and the collective resonance in wide parabolic quantum wells (QWs) and QDs. Researchers dealing with plasmonics of thin films can benefit from earlier studies of plasmons in the semiconductor modulation doped heterojunctions and QWs, with its rich spectrum of intersubband and two-dimensional plasmons. In non-equilibrium plasmonic systems, generation of plasmons can be stimulated, leading to the exciting possibility of the plasmon instability. Extraordinarily complex is the plasmonics of carbon nanotubes and graphene, with its numerous van Hove, one- and three-dimensional plasmons, and we discuss how the plasmonics of metamaterials can benefit from this complexity. Finally, we discuss a few applications, which could directly benefit from plasmonics, including medical and the novel class of solar cells.

Theoretical study of photon emission from single quantum dot emitter coupled to surface plasmons

Motivated by the recent pioneering advances on nanoscale plasmonics and also nanophotonics technology based on the surface plasmons (SPs), in this work, we give a master equation model in the Lindblad form and investigate the quantum optical properties of single quantum dot (QD) emitter coupled to the SPs of a metallic nanowire. Our main results demonstrate the QD luminescence results of photon emission show three distinctive regimes depending on the distance between QD and metallic nanowire, which elucidates a crossover passing from being metallic dissipative for much smaller emitter-nanowire distances to surface plasmon (SP) emission for larger separations at the vicinity of plasmonic metallic nanowire. Besides, our results also indicate that, for both the resonant case and the detuning case, through measuring QD emitter luminescence spectra and second-order correlation functions, the information about the QD emitter coupling to the SPs of the dissipative metallic nanowire can be extracted. This theoretical study will serve as an introduction to understanding the nanoplasmonic imaging spectroscopy and pave a new way to realize the quantum information devices.

Security analysis on some experimental quantum key distribution systems with imperfect optical and electrical devices

In general, quantum key distribution （QKD） has been proved unconditionally secure for perfect devices due to quantum uncertainty principle, quantum noneloning theorem and quantum nondividing principle which means that a quantum cannot be divided further. However, the practical optical and electrical devices used in the system are imperfect, which can be exploited by the eavesdropper to partially or totally spy the secret key between the legitimate parties. In this article, we first briefly review the recent work on quantum hacking on some experimental QKD systems with respect to imperfect devices carried out internationally, then we will present our recent hacking works in details, including passive faraday mirror attack, partially random phase attack, wavelength-selected photon-number-splitting attack, frequency shift attack, and single-photon-detector attack. Those quantum attack reminds people to improve the security existed in practical QKD systems due to imperfect devices by simply adding countermeasure or adopting a totally different protocol such as measurement-device independent protocol to avoid quantum hacking on the imperfection of measurement devices [Lo, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 2012, 108： 130503].

Quantum metrology

The statistical error is ineluctable in any measurement. Quantum techniques, especially with the development of quantum information, can help us squeeze the statistical error and enhance the precision of measurement. In a quantum system, there are some quantum parameters, such as the quantum state, quantum operator, and quantum dimension, which have no classical counterparts. So quantum metrology deals with not only the traditional parameters, but also the quantum parameters. Quantum metrology includes two important parts： measuring the physical parameters with a precision beating the classical physics limit and measuring the quantum parameters precisely. In this review, we will introduce how quantum characters （e.g., squeezed state and quantum entanglement） yield a higher precision, what the research areas are scientists most interesting in, and what the development status of quantum metrology and its perspectives are.
