• Title: Control of the Purcell effect via unexcited atoms and exceptional points
• Authors: G. S. Agarwal
• Abstract summary: We examine the possible control of the celebrated Purcell effect in cavity quantum electrodynamics. The presence of an unexcited atom can significantly alter the Purcell decay depending on the strength of coupling. Two unexcited atoms can create a third order exceptional point leading to inhibition of Purcell effect.

• Abstract: We examine the possible control of the celebrated Purcell effect in cavity quantum electrodynamics. We demonstrate that the presence of an unexcited atom can significantly alter the Purcell decay depending on the strength of coupling of the unexcited atom with the cavity mode though the excited atom has to be weakly coupled for it to be in the Purcell regime. This is distinct from the nonradiative nature of the singlet state which is an entangled state of the two atom system. We present physical interpretation for inhibition as due to interference between two polariton channels of decay. We bring out connection to exceptional points in the cavity QED system as the unexcited atom and cavity mode can produce a second order exceptional point. We further show how two unexcited atoms can create a third order exceptional point leading to inhibition of Purcell effect. We also discuss the case when the Purcell effect can be enhanced.

  We show that coherent control of the two cavities in an undefined manner allows novel possibilities to manipulate the atomic dynamics on demand. It is shown that the coherent control of the atom creates highly entangled states of the cavity fields taking a Bell-like or Schr"odinger-cat-like state form. Our results are a step forward to understand and harness quantum systems in a coherent control, and open a new research avenue in the study of atom-field interaction exploiting quantum indefiniteness.

Our results shed light on the collective radiative dynamics of cascaded quantum many-body systems.

  parasitic interactions and microwave crosstalk in a system of two superconducting artificial atoms interacting via a single-mode coplanar waveguide. We show that the atom selectivity is only dependent on the resultant phasor associated to the drives used to control the system. We show how an entangling $i$SWAP gate is implemented with fidelity higher than $99%$, even in presence of parasitic interactions.

  The Hamiltonian TC is slowly deformed, despite the inapplicability of the adiabatic theorem to this case. There is a small probability of emission of free photons, which does not depend on the smoothness of the deformation of the Hamiltonian. This purely quantum effect must be taken into account in practical manipulations with atomic singlets.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
