Relativity and Diversity of Strong Coupling to Measured Subsystems
arXiv:2003.06982 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.103.235430
Abstract
The strong coupling between two subsystems consisting of quantum emitters and photonic modes, at which the level splitting of mixed quantum states occurs, has been a central subject of quantum physics and nanophotonics due to various important applications. The spectral Rabi-splitting of photon emission or absorption has been adopted to experimentally characterize the strong coupling under the equality assumption that it is identical to the level splitting. Here, we for the first time reveal that the equality assumption is not valid. It is the invalidity that results in the relativity and diversity of the strong coupling characterized by the spectral Rabi-splitting to the measured subsystems, highly correlated with their dissipative decays. The strong coupling is easier to be observed from the subsystem with larger decay, and can be classified into pseudo-, dark-, middle-, and super-strong interaction regimes. We also suggest a prototype of coupled plasmon-exciton system for possibly future experiment observations on these novel predictions. Our work brings new fundamental insight to the light-matter interaction in nanostructures, which will stimulate further researches in this field.
