Non-Markovian spontaneous emission interference near a MoS2 nanodisk
Abstract:
We propose a nanophotonic structure that gives high-degree quantum interference (QI) in the spontaneous emission (SE) of a quantum emitter (QE) in conjunction with strong light-matter coupling and non-Markovian dynamics. Specifically, we study the SE dynamics of a three-level V-type QE close to a MoS2 nanodisk (ND). We combine quantum dynamics calculations with electromagnetic calculations and find reversible population dynamics in the QE, together with high-degree QI created by the ND. A rich population dynamics is obtained, depending on the energy of the QE with respect to the energies of the exciton-polariton resonances of the MoS2 ND, the distance of the QE from the ND, and the initial state of the QE. Our results have potential applications in emergent quantum technologies.

This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...
Interference and Decay
Interference occurs when competing memories hinder the retrieval of particular information. It can be classified into two types: proactive and retroactive interference. Proactive...
