Slow Light in Nanophotonic Materials From ‘Trapped Rainbows’ to Quantum Memories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze and compare the salient features of slowlight propagation in a variety of nanophotonic structures, including metamaterial, plasmonic and photonic crystal waveguides. We discuss the possibility of stopping light in nanoplasmonic metamaterials, and coherently storing quantum information in semiconductor quantum dot ensembles. Keywords––slow light; metamaterals; plasmonics; photonic crystals; quantum dots; waveguides

In this paper, by considering a system consisting of a single two-level trapped ion interacting with a single-mode quantized radiation field inside a lossless cavity, the temporal evolution of the ionic and the cavity-field quantum statistical properties including photon-counting statistics, quantum fluctuations of the field quadratures and quantum fluctuations of the ionic dipole variables are...
متن کاملA non-adiabatic approach to entanglement distribution over long distances
Entanglement distribution between trapped-atom quantum memories, viz. single atoms in optical cavities, is addressed. In most scenarios, the rate of entanglement distribution depends on the efficiency with which the state of traveling single photons can be transferred to trapped atoms. This loading efficiency is analytically studied for two-level, V -level, Λ-level, and double-Λ-level atomic co...
