Title: Collective photon emission in solid state environments: Concatenating non-markovian and markovian dynamics
Authors: Devashish Pandey, Martijn Wubs,
Abstract summary: We study the collective light emission and multi-qubit dynamics of solid-state quantum emitters. The effect of phonons on quantum emitters is described by ultrafast non-markovian dynamics. For a single quantum emitter, we show that the first method overestimates the fast and slow phonon dynamics, and the second is the polaron method.

Abstract: Collective light emission and multi-qubit dynamics of solid-state quantum emitters are affected both by their coupling to the light field and to lattice vibrations. The effect of phonons on quantum emitters is twofold: polaron formation is described by ultrafast non-markovian dynamics, while slower dephasing is well described by exponential decay. Of the two temperature-dependent processes, the effect of the former on the collective emission and the entanglement decay of emitters is usually not modeled, and also the latter is sometimes neglected. Here we propose and compare two methods that are efficient also for several emitters: the first method concatenates the fast and slow phonon dynamics, and the second is the polaron method. For a single quantum emitter, we show that the dynamical equations are identical in both methods, while predictions for two or more emitters also agree very well. Both of our methods incorporate non-markovian dynamics due to phonons demonstrating the temperature sensitivity of the collective photon emission. Utilizing a simplified markovian model instead may not be accurate enough especially for quantum information applications: for example, we show how the markovian model may considerably overestimate the two-emitter concurrence, except at very low temperatures. Our concatenation and polaron methods can be applied to an arbitrary number and type of quantum emitters, and beyond the bulk GaAs environment that we consider here. Especially the concatenation method can take phonon effects into account at the same computational cost as modelling the emitter-photon interaction alone. Finally, we present approximate analytical expressions for the collective emission spectrum for $N$ emitters on a one-dimensional chain.

Harnessing spontaneous emission of correlated photon pairs from ladder-type giant atoms [5.498509152557573]
We show that a ladder-type three-level giant atom spontaneously emits strongly correlated photon pairs with high efficiency. By encoding local phases into the optimal coupling sequence, directional two-photon correlated transfer can be achieved. Such correlated photon pairs have great potential applications for quantum information processing.

We show that the single-photon nonlinearity vanishes with the number of emitters. The mechanism behind this behavior is the quantum Zeno effect, manifested in the slowdown of the photon-controlled dynamics.

Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

Violation of Bell inequality by photon scattering on a two-level emitter [4.810881229568956]
Entanglement, the non-local correlations present in quantum systems, is a curious feature of quantum mechanics and the fuel of quantum technology. We show how a single two-level emitter deterministically coupled to light in a nanophotonic waveguide is used to realize genuine photonic quantum entanglement for excitation at the single photon level.

Two-photon emission in detuned resonance fluorescence [0.0]
We discuss two-photon correlations from the side peaks that are formed when a two-level system emitter is driven coherently. We show that their combination leads to a neat picture compatible with perturbative two-photon scattering. This should help to control, enhance and open new regimes of multiphoton emission.

We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field. We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters. This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.

phonon interactions are inevitable in cavity quantum electrodynamical systems based on solid-state emitters or fluorescent molecules. It remains a significant theoretical challenge to describe such effects in a computationally efficient manner. We consider four non-Markovian perturbative master equation approaches to describe such dynamics.

Tuning photon statistics with coherent fields [0.0]
Photon correlations, as measured by Glauber's $n$-th order coherence functions, are highly sought to be minimized and/or maximized. In systems that are coherently driven, so-called blockades can give rise to strong correlations according to two scenarios. We show how these two approaches relate to the admixing of a coherent state with a quantum state.
