Quantum entanglement in plasmonic waveguides with near-zero mode indices

Abstract

We investigate the quantum entanglement between two quantum dots in a plasmonic waveguide with near-zero mode index, considering the dependence of concurrence on interdot distance, quantum dot-waveguide frequency detuning and coupling strength ratio. High concurrence is achieved for a wide range of interdot distance due to the near-zero mode index, which largely relaxes the strict requirement of interdot distance in conventional dielectric waveguides or metal nanowires. The proposed quantum dot-waveguide system with near-zero phase variation along the waveguide near the mode cutoff frequency shows very promising potential in quantum optics and quantum information processing.
