Entangled photons from the polariton vacuum in a switchable optical cavity
arXiv:1112.3211 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.85.235140
Abstract
We study theoretically the entanglement of two-photon states in the ground state of the intersubband cavity system, the so-called polariton vacuum. The system consists of a sequence of doped quantum wells located inside a microcavity and the photons can interact with intersubband excitations inside the quantum wells. Using an explicit solution for the ground state of the system, operated in the ultrastrong coupling regime, a post-selection is introduced, where only certain two-photon states are considered and analyzed for mode entanglement. We find that a fast quench of the coupling creates entangled photons and that the degree of entanglement depends on the absolute values of the in-plane wave vectors of the photons. Maximally entangled states can be generated by choosing the appropriate modes in the post-selection.
