• Abstract: The photonic local density of states (PLDOS) determines the light matter interaction strength in nanophotonic devices. For standard dielectric devices, the PLDOS is fundamentally limited by diffraction, but its precise dependence on the size parameter $s$ of a device can be non-trivial. Here, we measure the PLDOS dependence on the size parameter in a waveguide using a new technique - nanowaveguide coupled cathode luminescence (CL). We observe that depending on the position within the waveguide cross-section, the effective diffraction limit of the PLDOS varies, and the PLDOS peak shape changes. Our results are of fundamental importance for optimizing coupling to nanophotonic devices, and also open new avenues for spectroscopy based on evanescently coupled CL.

  We design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters.

We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.
