Quantum-coherence-enhanced subradiance in a chiral-coupled atomic chain
arXiv:1903.05352 · doi:10.1088/1361-6455/aba9ae
Abstract
We theoretically study the quantum-coherence-enhanced subradiance in a chiral-coupled atomic chain with nonreciprocal decay channels. The collective radiation in this one-dimensional (1D) nanophotonics system results from the resonant dipole-dipole interactions (RDDI) in 1D reservoirs, which allow infinite-range couplings between atoms. When single photon interacts with part of the atomic chain from a side excitation, the subradiant decay can be further reduced when highly correlated states are initially excited. The excitation plateau in the decay process can emerge due to the ordered population exchanges, which presents one distinctive signature of long-range and light-induced atom-atom correlations. Multiple time scales of the decay behaviors also show up due to multiple scattering of light transmissions and reflections in the chain. We further investigate the effect of atomic position fluctuations, and find that the cascaded scheme with uni-directional coupling is more resilient to the fluctuations, while the overall decay constant can be increased due to large deviations. Our results present a fundamental study on the subradiance and light-induced atom-atom correlations in such 1D nanophotonics platforms, and offer rich opportunities in potential applications of quantum storage of photons.
