• Abstract: We suggest a scheme for the excitation and amplification of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along the interface between metal and semiconductor quantum well (SQW), employing a four-wave mixing (FWM) process. The SQW consists of four-level asymmetric double quantum wells that exhibit quantum interference effects, which leads to the coupler-free excitation of SPPs. In our proposed system, the inherent losses of SPPs are compensated by introducing gain through the FWM process. This results in a significant enhancement in the propagation length and large penetration depth of SPPs. We further analyze the effect of gain on the long-range and short-range SPPs and observe that the propagation distance and lifetime of both types of SPPs are enhanced.

  Quantum interconnect (QI) is essentially a light-matter interface and acts as a building block in quantum technologies. A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) supported by a metallic waveguide provides an ideal interface to explore strong light-matter couplings. We propose a scheme of non-Markovian QI formed by the SPP of a metallic nanowire.

  We study the effect of degenerate parametric down-conversion (DPDC) in an ensemble of two-level quantum emitters (QEs) coupled via near-field interactions to a single surface plasmon (SP) mode of a nonlinear plasmonic cavity. Considering the strong coupling regime, we find a critical SP-QE coupling attributed to the phase transition between normal and lasing steady states. Examining fluctuations above the system's steady states, we predict new elementary excitations, namely, the exciton-plasmon polaritons formed by the two-SP quanta and single-ex

  Low-noise microwave amplification is crucial for detecting weak signals in quantum technologies and radio astronomy. Current amplifiers do not satisfy all these requirements, severely limiting the scalability of superconducting quantum devices. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of building a near-ideal quantum amplifier using a homogeneous Josephson junction array and the non-trivial topology of its dynamics.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
