Suppressing Decoherence in Quantum Plasmonic Systems by Spectral Hole Burning Effect

Quantum plasmonic systems suffer from significant decoherence due to the intrinsically large dissipative and radiative dampings. Based on our quantum simulations via a quantum tensor network algorithm, we numerically demonstrate the mitigation of this restrictive drawback by hybridizing a plasmonic nanocavity with an emitter ensemble with inhomogeneously-broadened transition frequencies. By burning two narrow spectral holes in the spectral density of the emitter ensemble, the coherent time of Rabi oscillation for the hybrid system is increased tenfold. With the suppressed decoherence, we move one step further in bringing plasmonic systems into practical quantum applications

Generation and optimization of entanglement between giant atoms chirally coupled to spin cavities

We explore a scheme for entanglement generation and optimization in giant atoms by coupling them to finite one-dimensional arrays of spins that behave as cavities. We find that high values for the concurrence can be achieved in small-sized cavities, being the generation time very short. When exciting the system by external means, optimal concurrence is obtained for very weak drivings. We also analyze the effect of disorder in these systems, showing that although the average concurrence decreases with disorder, high concurrences can still be obtained even in scenarios presenting strong disorder. This result leads us to propose an optimization procedure in which by engineering the on-site energies or hoppings in the cavity, concurrences close to 1 can be reached within an extremely short period of time
