With the refrigeration and ground-state cooling technologies, studies of cavity optomechanics are making significant progress towards the quantum regime including non- classical state preparation, quantum state tomography, quantum information processing, and future quantum internet. With further research, it is found that abundant physical phenomena and important applications in both classical and quan- tum regimes appeal as they have a strong optomechanical nonlinearity, which essentially depends on the single-photon optomechanical coupling strength. Thus, engineering the optomechanical interactions and improving the single-photon optomechanical coupling strength become very important subjects. In this article, we first review several mechanisms, theoretically proposed for enhancing optomechanical coupling. Then, we review the experimental progresses on enhancing optomechanical coupling by optimizing its structure and fabrication process.

文摘In this paper,we develop the teleportation scheme in[Zheng in Phys Rev A 69,064302,2004],in the sense that,we work in the strong atom-field coupling regime wherein the rotating wave approximation(RWA)is no longer valid.To achieve the purpose,a scheme consisting of a qubit interacting with a single-mode quantized field is described via the Rabi model(counter rotation terms are taken into account).Our first aim is to teleport an unknown atomic state of a qubit(which interacts with the quantized field in a cavity)to a second qubit(exists in another distant cavity field),beyond the RWA and without the Bell-state measurement method.In the continuation,in a similar way,we teleport an unknown state of a single-mode field too.In fact,it is shown that,in this regime,after applying some particular conditions,containing the interaction time of atom-field in the cavities,adjusting the involved frequencies,as well as the atom-field coupling in the model,if a proper measurement is performed on the state of the first qubit(the related field in the cavity),the unknown states of the qubit(field)can be teleported from the first qubit(cavity field)to the second qubit(cavity field),appropriately.We show that in both considered cases,the teleportation protocol is successfully performed with the maximum possible fidelity,1,and the acceptable success probability,0.25.

文摘The quantum hydrodynamic model for electrons and ions and the generalized hydrodynamic model for the strongly coupled dust particles are proposed in the strongly coupled quantum dusty plasma, where the combined quantum effects of quantum diffraction, quantum statistic pressure,as well as electron exchange and correlation effects are all considered in the quantum hydrodynamic model. The shear and bulk viscosity effects are included in the viscoelastic relaxation, which leads to the decay of the dust-ion-acoustic waves. The approximate time-dependent solitary solution is obtained by the momentum conservation law in the presence of viscosity.

文摘Atomically thin semiconductors exhibit tunable exciton resonances that can be harnessed for dynamic manipulation of visible light in ultra-compact metadevices.However,the rapid nonradiative decay and dephasing of excitons at room temperature limit current active excitonic metasurfaces to a few-percent efficiencies.Here,we leverage the combined merits of pristine 2D heterostructures and non-local dielectric metasurfaces to enhance the excitonic lightmatter interaction,achieving strong and electrically tunable exciton-photon coupling at ambient conditions in a hybrid-2D excitonic metasurface.Using this,we realize a free-space optical modulator and experimentally demonstrate 9.9 dB of reflectance modulation.The electro-optic response,characterized by a continuous transition from strong to weak coupling,is mediated by gating-induced variations in the free carrier concentration,altering the exciton’s nonradiative decay rate.These results highlight how hybrid-2D excitonic metasurfaces offer novel opportunities to realize nanophotonic devices for active wavefront manipulation and optical communication.

文摘Surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs)on metal surfaces excited by p-polarized light have long been a crucial method for achieving lightmatter interactions due to their small mode-field volumes and strong optical localization properties.However,the significant losses generated in metals greatly limit the intensity of the SPPs and their potential application scenarios.In this paper,we leverage the high refractive index properties of two-dimensional(2D)transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs)to generate transverse-electric(TE)polarized waves excited by s-polarized light on the surface of gold nanofilms by accurately controlling the number of the TMDC layers and the spatial refractive index variations with the structure.Unlike the SPPs excited by p-polarized light,the TE surface waves on the surface of the gold film exhibit low loss and high quality factor(Q factor).Moreover,the difference in refractive index causes the TE surface waves to be electromagnetically separated in space,lifting the electric field component in the excited TE surface waves from the surface of the metal film into the TMDCs,thereby minimizing the ohmic loss in the metal and enabling strong coupling between the TE surface waves and the two-exciton states(A-exciton and B-exciton)in the TMDCs.Experimental results demonstrated the strong coupling of TE waves with double excitons(A-exciton and B-exciton)in multilayer MoS_(2) by exciting the Au/MoS_(2) heterostructure using a KretschmannRaether configuration,showing ultrahigh Rabi splitting up to about 310 meV.Furthermore,the number of MoS_(2) layers can be accurately determined by measuring the redshift of the Rabi splitting peak of the strong coupling spectra in the Au/MoS_(2) heterostructure.Our findings open a new avenue for manipulating strong exciton-photon coupling in 2D materials and offer a novel approach for accurately characterizing the thickness of TMDCs.

文摘In this study,we employed the heavy quark expansion model with the kinetic scheme to evaluate os(m^(2)_(c)),the strong coupling constant at the chamn quark mass me,using data on inclusive semileptonic decays of charmed mesons.Using the experimental values of the semileptonic decay widths of the D^(0)and the D^(+),the value of ars(m^(2))was determined to be 0.445±0.009±0.114,where the first uncertainty is experimental and the second is systematic.This value of a,(m^(2))is in good agreement with the value of ar,(m^(2)_(c))which calculated by running as(m^(2))athe 20 bo-son mass mz with the renormalization group evolution equation.In addition,the values of a_(s)(m^(2)_(c))obtained individu-ally from each of the D,D+,and D5 mesons were consistent,as they were of the same origin.

文摘Strong coupling between resonantly matched surface plasmons of metals and excitons of quantum emitters results in the formation of new plasmon-exciton hybridized energy states.In plasmon-exciton strong coupling,plasmonic nanocavities play a significant role due to their ability to confine light in an ultrasmall volume.Additionally,two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs) have a significant exciton binding energy and remain stable at ambient conditions,making them an excellent alternative for investigating light-matter interactions.As a result,strong plasmon-exciton coupling has been reported by introducing a single metallic cavity.However,single nanoparticles have lower spatial confinement of electromagnetic fields and limited tunability to match the excitonic resonance.Here,we introduce the concept of catenary-shaped optical fields induced by plasmonic metamaterial cavities to scale the strength of plasmon-exciton coupling.The demonstrated plasmon modes of metallic metamaterial cavities offer high confinement and tunability and can match with the excitons of TMDCs to exhibit a strong coupling regime by tuning either the size of the cavity gap or thickness.The calculated Rabi splitting of Au-MoSe_2 and Au-WSe_2 heterostructures strongly depends on the catenary-like field enhancement induced by the Au cavity,resulting in room-temperature Rabi splitting ranging between 77.86 and 320 me V.These plasmonic metamaterial cavities can pave the way for manipulating excitons in TMDCs and operating active nanophotonic devices at ambient temperature.

文摘Strong light-matter interactions in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs)with robust spin-valley degrees of freedom open up the prospect of valleytronic devices.A thorough understanding on the dynamics of the valley polarizations in the strong coupling regime is urgently required.Here,multiple polarized TMDCs-SPPs hybrid systems were constructed by combining monolayer WS_(2)flakes to linear,circular,and spiral Ag gratings,resulting in linear and circular polarized modula-tion on the coherent hybrid states,respectively.Particularly,valley polaritons can be tailored asymmetrically by chiral strong coupling regime.Furthermore,the dynamics of the polarized polaritons were directly analyzed by transient absorption(TA)measure-ment.Both of the linear and circular polarization difference in the TA spectra can be retained for a remarkable long time,leading to a polarized PL even at room tempera-ture.More importantly,in the chiral strong coupled WS_(2)-spiral Ag grating devices,the mechanism of the asymmetrical valley-polarized PL(p_(σ+)=14.9%and p_(σ-)=10.8%)is proved by the opposite valley polarization dynamics in the circularly polarized TA spectra.The multiple polarization modulation in monolayer TMDCs-SPPs strong coupling devices could provide a viable route toward multiple polarization polaritonic devices.
