Collapses and revivals of exciton emission in a semiconductor microcavity: detuning and phase-space filling effects

Theory of the Microscopic Maser Phase Transitions

Phase diagrams of the micromaser system are mapped out in terms of the physical parameters at hand like the atom cavity transit time, the atom-photon frequency detuning, the number of thermal photons and the probability for a pump atom to be in its excited state. Critical fluctuations are studied in terms of correlation measurements on atoms having passed through the micromaser or on the microcavity photons themselves. At sufficiently large values of the detuning we find a ``twinkling'' mode of the micromaser system. Detailed properties of the trapping states are also presented.

Two-photon interference from a quantum dot--microcavity: Persistent pure-dephasing and suppression of time-jitter

We demonstrate the emission of highly indistinguishable photons from a quasi-resonantly pumped coupled quantum dot--microcavity system operating in the regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics. Changing the sample temperature allows us to vary the quantum dot--cavity detuning, and on spectral resonance we observe a three-fold improvement in the Hong--Ou--Mandel interference visibility, reaching values in excess of 80\%. Our measurements off-resonance allow us to investigate varying Purcell enhancements, and to probe the dephasing environment at different temperatures and energy scales. By comp…

Single mode quantum properties of the codirectional Kerr nonlinear coupler: frequency mismatch and exact solution

In this paper, we investigate the single mode quantum properties of the codirectional Kerr nonlinear coupler when the frequency mismatch is involved and a condition for an exact solution of equations of motion is fulfilled. Particularly, we investigate quadrature and principal squeezing, Wigner function, quadrature distribution, phase distribution and phase variance. We show that the quadrature squeezing and the phase variance can exhibit collapse-revival and collapse-revival-subrevival phenomena, respectively, based on the values of the detuning parameter. Furthermore, we analytically demonst…

Collapse-revival dynamics and atom-field entanglement in the non-resonant Dicke model

We consider the dynamics of atomic and field coherent states in the non-resonant Dicke model. At weak coupling an initial product state evolves into a superposition of multiple field coherent states that are correlated with the atomic configuration. This process is accompanied by the buildup and decay of atom-field entanglement and leads to the periodic collapse and revival of Rabi oscillations. We provide a perturbative derivation of the underlying dynamical mechanism that complements the rotating wave approximation at resonance. The identification of two different time scales explains how th…

Dynamic Stark Effect in Strongly Coupled Microcavity Exciton-Polaritons

We present experimental observations of a non-resonant dynamic Stark shift in strongly coupled microcavity quantum well exciton-polaritons - a system which provides a rich variety of solid-state collective phenomena. The Stark effect is demonstrated in a GaAs/AlGaAs system at 10K by femtosecond pump-probe measurements, with the blue shift approaching the meV scale for a pump fluence of 2 mJcm^-2 and 50 meV red detuning, in good agreement with theory. The energy level structure of the strongly coupled polariton Rabi-doublet remains unaffected by the blue shift. The demonstrated effect should al…

Manipulation of two quantum systems through their mutual interaction in presence of a radiation field

In cavity QED, the mutual interaction between natural atomic systems in presence of a radiation field was ignored due to its negligible impact compared with the coupling to the field. The newly engineered artificial atomic systems (such as quantum dots and superconducting circuits) proposed for quantum information processing enjoy strong interaction with same type of systems or even with other types in hybrid structures, which is coherently controllable and moreover they can be efficiently coupled to radiation fields. We present an exact analytic solution for the time evolution of a composite …

Polariton Bose-Einstein condensate at room temperature in a Al(Ga)N nanowire-dielectric microcavity with a spatial potential trap

A spatial potential trap is formed in a 6.0 μm Al(Ga)N nanowire by varying the Al composition along its length during epitaxial growth. The polariton emission characteristics of a dielectric microcavity with the single nanowire embedded in-plane has been studied at room temperature. Excitation is provided at the Al(Ga)N end of the nanowire and polariton emission is observed from the lowest bandgap GaN region of the nanowire. Comparison of the results with those measured in an identical microcavity with an uniform GaN nanowire and having an identical exciton-photon detuning suggests evaporative…

Auto- and Cross-Correlation-Functions as entanglement quantifiers in semiconductor microcavities

The dynamics of the exciton-photon entanglement, in a semiconductor microcavity is analyzed. Finding a closed analytical expression for the time evolution of the concurrence. Using as model two coupled, quantum oscillators with detuning between them. Supposing that the system is at a temperature closer to zero. And that the quantum state of the system, remains in the one excitation sector of the total Hilbert space. The former theoretical setup, describes the excitons coupled to the photons in the microcavity accurately, for a system with ultra low density of excitons. We remark in first place…
