Exciton-polaritons, hybrid particles composed of photons and excitons, have been identified as a potential solution for the control of light at the nanoscale. This is due to their unique combination of the controllability of excitons and the fast propagation velocity of photons, which enables Bose-Einstein condensation to occur at room temperature. Excitonpolaritons have also been shown to be capable of generating entangled states through parametric scattering, an important aspect for quantum communication and detection. However, conventional resonant pump techniques for generating entangled exciton-polaritons have limitations. In this work, it reports a successful demonstration of inter-band parametric scattering of exciton-polaritons in quasi-one-dimensional ZnO system through the use of an improved angle-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy system. This observation holds significant implications for the study and application of exciton-polaritons in the field of quantum communication and quantum technology.
We investigate theoretically and experimentally anomalous spectral holes, i.e. the cancellations of certain frequency modes inside a wide frequency comb, in a fiber-loop circuit with an incorporated phase modulator (PM). During the process of phase modulation, the frequency modes couple between each other accompanying with a nonreciprocal phase, which mimics an artificial gauge potential for photons. As the light circulates in the fiber loop, coherent interference effects occur between frequency modes in distinct circulations, which are highly influenced by the artificial gauge potential. By carefully choosing the gauge potential via adjusting the modulation phase, we can coherently suppress a series of frequency components within a broad spectrum and flexibly manipulate the positions, widths and depths of these drops. In the experiment, we achieved a hole position shift with ~50 GHz and a hole width with ~30 GHz while the extinction ratio reaches ~15 dB. For even higher modulation depth beyond the experiment range, the simulation shows that the width of main spectral hole will grow linearly with the increase of modulation depth while the position and depth tend to be stable.The study reveals the anomalous cancellation of frequency modes in a fiber loop, which holds great promises for potential applications in optical communications and signal processing.
The presence of quantum correlations in composite quantum systems is one of the main features of quantum mechanics. However, by now, all known quantifications of this correlation for continuous-variable systems are very difficult to compute. Therefore, it makes sense to find simpler and computable quantifications of Gaussian quantum correlations. Recently, a computable Gaussian quantum correlation M is proposed, which can be obtained based on the covariance matrix. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the Gaussian quantum correlation 𝑀 based on the two-mode entangled state carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) generated from a four-wave mixing process in a hot Cesium atom vapor cell and investigate the evolution of such correlation in the lossy channel. Our results show that quantum correlation 𝑀 is robust in the lossy channel.
