Entanglement of two qubits mediated by a localized surface plasmon

Abstract:

We investigate relaxation dynamics in the system of two identical quantum dipole emitters (QDEs) located near a metal nanoparticle (MNP) exhibiting a dipolar localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance at the frequency of the QDE radiative transition. Considering one QDE to be brought into an optically active excited state and weakly coupled to the resonant LSP, we show that a stable superposition state of two QDEs is formed during the transition time, which is much shorter than the QDE spontaneous decay time and determined by the efficiency of resonant interaction between the QDEs and induced LSP. It is elucidated that the superposition state is established as a result of bkp_redistribution of the energy of the initially excited QDE so that the corresponding steady-state QDE fields induced at the MNP site cancel each other. The degree of steady-state entanglement characterized by the concurrence is found …
