Modified Spontaneous Emission and Qubit Entanglement from Dipole-Coupled Quantum Dots in a Photonic Crystal Nanocavity

摘要

The modified spontaneous emission dynamics of two photon-coupled quantum dots in a planar-photonic crystal are theoretically investigated. Based on a photon Green function technique for quantizing the electromagnetic fields in arbitrary surroundings, pronounced vacuum Rabi oscillations and dipole-dipole interactions are self-consistently incorporated and are shown to result in a high degree of quantum-bit entanglement. Quantum dots with different optical dipole moments are also found to yield a very rich display of quantum dynamics and offer several advantages over coupling identical atoms.
