• Abstract: Entanglement between solid-state quantum emitters (QEs) is a key resource for photonic quantum technologies. Achieving such entanglement requires strong and controllable long-range interactions between QEs. However, engineering such coupling remains challenging, particularly for on-chip distant solid-state QEs. Here, we introduce a forward-designed platform that enables ultracompact nanophotonic architectures to mediate enhanced long-range QE-QE interactions via engineered surface plasmon polariton interference. Using this strategy, we realize two distinct configurations: a phase-conjugated elliptic design for energy funneling, and a co-radiating hyperbolic design for its suppression. We experimentally demonstrate large enhancement and suppression of energy transfer rates compared to bare substrates. Furthermore, we predict transient entanglement between spatially separated QEs with concurrence peaking at 0.493, approaching the theoretical bound in the transient regime. Extending to the multi-QE case, we observe enhanced energy funneling and predict QE-QE entanglement in three-QE configurations. These results establish a compact and scalable framework for on-chip entanglement engineering in integrated quantum nanophotonic systems.

  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.
