Nonadiabatic switching of a photonic band structure: Ultrastrong light-matter coupling and slow-down of light
We map out the band structure of a one-dimensional photonic crystal while a 12-fs control pulse activates ultrastrong interaction with quantized electronic transitions in semiconductor quantum wells. Phase-locked multi-terahertz transients trace the buildup of a large vacuum Rabi splitting and an unexpected asymmetric formation of the upper and lower polariton bands. The pronounced flattening o...
متن کاملHow fast electrons and photons mix: Sub-cycle switching of intersubband cavity polaritons
Intersubband cavity polaritons in a quantum well waveguide structure are optically generated within less than one cycle of light by a femtosecond near-infrared pulse. Midinfrared probe transients trace the non-adiabatic switch-on of ultrastrong light-matter coupling and the conversion of bare photons into cavity polaritons directly in the time domain.
متن کاملParity-dependent State Engineering and Tomography in the ultrastrong coupling regime
Reaching the strong coupling regime of light-matter interaction has led to an impressive development in fundamental quantum physics and applications to quantum information processing. Latests advances in different quantum technologies, like superconducting circuits or semiconductor quantum wells, show that the ultrastrong coupling regime (USC) can also be achieved, where novel physical phenomen...
متن کاملPhoton blockade in the ultrastrong coupling regime.
We explore photon coincidence counting statistics in the ultrastrong coupling regime, where the atom-cavity coupling rate becomes comparable to the cavity resonance frequency. In this regime, usual normal order correlation functions fail to describe the output photon statistics. By expressing the electric-field operator in the cavity-emitter dressed basis, we are able to propose correlation fun...
متن کاملNonlinear quantum optics in the (ultra)strong light-matter coupling.
The propagation of N photons in one dimensional waveguides coupled to M qubits is discussed, both in the strong and ultrastrong qubit-waveguide coupling. Special emphasis is placed on the characterisation of the nonlinear response and its linear limit for the scattered photons as a function of N, M, qubit inter distance and light-matter coupling. The quantum evolution is numerically solved via ...
