与热库耦合的光学腔内三原子间的纠缠动力学

研究了与热库耦合的光学腔中三个相互作用的二能级原子间的纠缠动力学.采用拉普拉斯变换和下限共生等方法,通过数值计算,分析了原子间三体纠缠的演化以及腔场与热库间的两体纠缠演化,讨论了各耦合参数对系统纠缠演化的影响.研究结果表明:原子间纠缠在短时间内随着原子间耦合强度的增加而增加,随原子与腔场耦合强度的增加而减小,在长时极限下趋于一稳定值;体系的非马尔科夫性由原子与腔场的耦合强度以及热库的谱宽度共同决定,当热库与腔场为强耦合时,原子与腔场组成的系统遵循非马尔科夫动力学,此时随着热库谱宽的增加,原子系统由非马尔科夫性变为马尔科夫性,随着谱宽的继续增加,原子与腔场组成的系统遵循马尔科夫动力学,原子系统又表现出非马尔科夫性;调整腔场与热库的失谐可以有效抑制热库耗散对纠缠衰减的影响.     

用不同密度分布的发光分子探测光子晶体的全态密度

单一原子（分子）的自发辐射衰变的动力学性质强烈地依赖于其在光子晶体中的位置及其辐射偶极矩与所处位置场的相对方向.测量单一原子（分子）的自发辐射衰变特性只能反映光子晶体的局域态密度特征，而不能反映光子晶体的全态密度特征.理论上研究发现，通过引入含不同密度分布的发光分子可以探测到光子晶体的全态密度的部分细节甚至全部信息.按来源首次将全态密度分为两个部分，证明了特定的发光分子分布可以完善地反映其中的一部分或者全部，这为解释、设计加速或抑制原子（分子）自发辐射的实验提供了有益的指导. 关键词： 光子晶体 自发辐射 态密度 密度分布

双带型光子晶体中双V型四能级原子自发辐射谱中的黑线研究

研究了双带型光子晶体中双V型四能级原子自发辐射的辐射谱.双V型四能级原子同时与真空热库和双带型光子晶体热库耦合.研究发现双V型四能级原子自发辐射谱中有三种不同原因可能引起的黑线：第一种是由于量子干涉效应;第二种是由于各向同性光子晶体带边处态密度具有奇异性;第三种是真空场中的量子干涉和光子晶体禁带内态密度为零共同作用的结果.通过移动光子晶体的带边位置,在各向同性光子晶体带边引入光滑因子,以及在光子晶体中引入缺陷等对这三种黑线的影响,对上述结果进行了分析和讨论. 关键词： 双带型光子晶体 双V型四能级原子 黑线     

利用纠缠密度研究光子禁带系统的纠缠演化特性

研究了一个二能级原子在光子禁带模型中的原子与热库间及热库模式间的纠缠动力学行为.利用全局纠缠的方法,引出与热库模式相关的纠缠密度.研究发现,当禁带是完美带隙时,会出现稳态原子布居数俘获现象,从而抑制原子的自发辐射效应,防止了信息传输过程中信息的流失.原子与热库模式之间的纠缠密度以及热库模式与模式之间的纠缠密度会随着原子与热库之间耦合强度的增加而增大.当取长时极限时,原子与热库模式之间的纠缠减为零.热库模式与模式之间在强耦合情况下,由于拉比分裂的作用,在两个对称模式间会形成较强的纠缠;在弱耦合情况下,只能在中心频率处形成纠缠.     

运用动态腔环境实现对原子自发辐射过程的调控

本文从理论上讨论了运用动态的腔环境实现对处于激发态的两能级原子自发辐射过程的调控.研究发现,周期性地改变与原子相互作用的腔环境导致电磁模式之间相互作用,产生电磁模式密度重新分配,并使得原子与腔环境之间的能量交换的频率以及能量耗散的速度发生改变;当腔环境的变化频率和原子、环境之间交换能量的过程保持相对一致时可以实现稳定的相干性演化,衰减效应受到显著的抑制,进而可以通过环境变化操纵相干态的演化. 关键词： 自发辐射 动态环境 量子调控

Spontaneous emission in micro- and nano-structures

Spontaneous emission of emitters governing the performance of optoelectronic devices is a fundamental phenomenon, and it has strong environment-dependent characteristics. In this article, we mainly review the experimental and theoretical progresses in the control of spontaneous emission by manipulating optical modes with photonic crystals, optical microcavities and metallic nanostructures. The spontaneous emission from emitters in photonic crystals can be modified by the local density of states, and by employing photonic crystals, the devices’ efficiency is enhanced, the angular radiation pattern can be engineered, and highly efficient optoelectronic devices are achieved through decreasing the radiative lifetime. In quantum optical devices, microcavities would alter the lifetime of an excited state through tuning the resonance in the frequency and positioning between the emitters and cavity field, and inducing the emitters to emit spontaneous photons in a desired direction. The emerging enhanced electromagnetic field near metallic nanostructures can help to control and manipulate the spontaneous emission of an emitter. The use of micro- and nano-structures to manipulate spontaneous emission will open unprecedented opportunities for realizing functional photonic devices.

Controlled plasmon-enhanced fluorescence by spherical microcavity

A surrounding electromagnetic environment can engineer spontaneous emissions from quantum emitters through the Purcell effect. For instance, a plasmonic antenna can efficiently confine an electromagnetic field and enhance the fluorescent process. In this study, we demonstrate that a photonic microcavity can modulate plasmon-enhanced fluorescence by engineering the local electromagnetic environment. Consequently, we constructed a plasmon-enhanced emitter (PE-emitter), which comprised a nanorod and a nanodiamond, using the nanomanipulation technique. Furthermore, we controlled a polystyrene sphere approaching the PE-emitter and investigated in situ the associated fluorescent spectrum and lifetime. The emission of PE-emitter can be enhanced resonantly at the photonic modes as compared to that within the free spectral range. The spectral shape modulated by photonic modes is independent of the separation between the PS sphere and PE-emitter. The band integral of the fluorescence decay rate can be enhanced or suppressed after the PS sphere couples to the PE-emitters, depending on the coupling strength between the plasmonic antenna and the photonic cavity. These findings can be utilized in sensing and imaging applications.     

Scheme for Concentration of Unknown Greeberger-Horne-Zeilinger Entangled States via Cavity Decay

We present a scheme for entanglement concentration of an unknown atomic non-maximally entangled GHZ state via cavity decay. In the scheme, the atom trapped in a cavity is manipulated by laser field, so the maximally entangled GHZ state can be obtained by performing certain operation, which can be realized by illuminating the atom in a cavity. Our method is robust against spontaneous atomic decay.     

Lateral shift dependence of spontaneous emission in a planar cavity with perfect conducting cladding

We consider the effect of lateral shift of the “beams" resulting from the atom emissions on spontaneous decay of an excited atom embedded in a planar cavity with perfect conducting cladding. It is found that the spontaneous decay could be enhanced or suppressed owing to the positive and negative lateral shift at the interfaces of the cavity mirror. Compared with the emission between two perfect conducting plates, the surface guided modes could exist and for very thin planar cavity, the density of surface guided modes may be obviously larger than those of the propagating guided modes.     

Implementing Two-Qubit SWAP Gate with SQUID Qubits in a Microwave Cavity via Adiabatic Passage Evolution

We presented a scheme to implement SWAP gate in a microwave cavity. In our scheme, two superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) qubits are coupled to a single-mode microwave cavity field by adiabatic passage method for their manipulation. This process of implementing SWAP gate is in the range of present experiments. The scheme can be easily obtained only by three steps, which does not require perform any operation. In the scheme, the operations only involve three lowest flux states of the SQUIDs, and the excited states would not be excited; therefore, the decoherence due to spontaneous emission of the SQUIDs’ levels would not affect the operations. In addition, during the whole procedure the cavity field is not necessary to be excited because it does not require transfer quantum information between the SQUID’s and the cavity field. Thus, the cavity decay is suppressed. Therefore our scheme may be realized in superconducting systems.     

Sub-Poissonian radiation of a one-atom two-level laser with incoherent pumping

The quantum statistical properties of the radiation of a one-atom two-level laser with incoherent pumping are analyzed. Solution of the Liouville equation for the density operator in the basis of Fock states shows that stationary radiation from a single-mode laser with incoherent pumping can be in a squeezed (sub-Poissonian) stationary state if the rate of spontaneous decay is lower than the rate of cavity losses and the pump rate. Inside the cavity the Fano factor reaches F=0.85 (15% squeezing). Multiple squeezing (F=0.19) is possible in the transient lasing regime. Significant squeezing obtains at the cavity output; the spectral Fano factor at zero frequency is 0.36 under optimal conditions. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 115, 1210–1220 (April 1999)     

Scanning emitter lifetime imaging microscopy for spontaneous emission control

We report an experimental technique to map and exploit the local density of optical states of arbitrary planar nanophotonic structures. The method relies on positioning a spontaneous emitter attached to a scanning probe deterministically and reversibly with respect to its photonic environment while measuring its lifetime. We demonstrate the method by imaging the enhancement of the local density of optical states around metal nanowires. By nanopositioning, the decay rate of a pointlike source of fluorescence can be reversibly and repeatedly changed by a factor of 2 by coupling it to the guided plasmonic mode of the wire.     

Effect of feedback control on the entanglement evolution

We study the effect of feedback control on the entanglement evolution of two spins in a dissipative cavity governed by the Lindblad master equation. By numerically solving the master equation, we show that the entanglement can be controlled by the feedback based on the quantum jumps of the field in a leaking cavity. With the feedback added to the spins, the stable states with high degree of entanglement can be obtained in absence of the spontaneous decay of the spins, and the entanglement can also be generated for a period in presence of spontaneous decay of the spins. All the controlled entangled states are closely related to the initial states.
