Photon control and coherent interactions via lattice dark states in atomic arrays
arXiv:2108.13964 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.013110
Abstract
Ordered atomic arrays with subwavelength spacing have emerged as an efficient and versatile light-matter interface, where emitters respond collectively and form subradiant lattice modes with supressed decay rate. Here, we demonstrate that such lattice dark states can be individually addressed and manipulated by applying a spatial modulation of the atomic detuning. More specifically, we show that lattice dark states can be used to store and retrieve single photons with near-unit efficiency, as well as to control the temporal, frequency and spatial degrees of freedom of the emitted electromagnetic field. Additionally, we discuss how to engineer arbitrary coherent interactions between multiple dark states. These results pave the way towards building a quantum platform that can equally act as a quantum memory and a photon shaper capable of producing states of light relevant in quantum information protocols.
arXiv commentThis version agrees with the published version. It contains an extra Appendix, as well as an extended introduction and an extended discussion on the memory performance of the array
