Weak-Light Nonlinearity Using a Dark State in Coupled Quantum Dots
arXiv:1707.01206 · doi:10.7566/JPSJ.86.083401
Abstract
We propose a scheme to induce weak-light nonlinearity in a double quantum dot. The scheme positively utilizes locality and dissipation of an external auxiliary system. As a plausible setup, we consider a complex system in which a localized plasmon field from a metallic nanotip couples with only one of the coupled quantum dots. The perturbative calculation with respect to the light intensity shows that, even by a sufficiently weak light, a dipole-forbidden two-exciton NOON state is prepared as the steady state. This result can be explained by combining the two factors: decoherence-induced quantum state preparation and two-photon resonance. The present work implies that the positive usage of both the locality and the dissipation in the external auxiliary system is promising for inducing two-photon processes effectively, and provides one guideline to weak-light nonlinearities.
