Remote Sub-Wavelength Addressing of Quantum Emitters with Chirped Pulses
We propose to use chirped pulses propagating near a bandgap to remotely
address quantum emitters with sub-wavelength resolution. We introduce a
particular family of chirped pulses that dynamically self-focus during their
evolution in a medium with a quadratic dispersion relation. We analytically
describe how the focusing distance and width of the pulse can be tuned through
its initial parameters. We show that the interaction of such pulses with a
quantum emitter is highly sensitive to its position due to effective
Landau-Zener processes induced by the pulse chirping. Our results propose pulse
engineering as a powerful control and probing tool in the field of quantum
emitters coupled to structured reservoirs.Comment: 5+3 pages, 3+2 figure
