A non-Markovian optical signature for detecting entanglement in coupled excitonic qubits
We identify an optical signature for detecting entanglement in experimental
nanostructure systems comprising coupled excitonic qubits. This signature owes
its strength to non-Markovian dynamical effects in the second-order temporal
coherence function of the emitted radiation. We calculate autocorrelation and
cross-correlation functions for both selective and collective light excitation,
and prove that the coherence properties of the emitted light do indeed carry
information about the entanglement of the initial multi-qubit state.
We also show that this signature can survive in the presence of a noisy
environment.Comment: 4 pages, 4 color figures. Minor changes. Accepted version to be
