Abstract:
Can quantum light reliably generate entanglement in systems with dissipation? Our cavity quantum electrodynamics calculations demonstrate that a single-mode squeezed light source can robustly generate steady-state entanglement between a plasmonically coupled pair of quantum dots. The strong coupling of plasmons to the light source and the pairwise nature of squeezed photon generation enable entanglement between quantum dots. This entanglement, measured as concurrence, can be improved by replacing an entangled photon-pair pulsed source of light with continuous pumping of squeezed photons. Unlike previously introduced schemes, the concurrence is robust against variations in the system parameters. Specifically, the generation of entanglement does not rely on fine-tuning of the plasmon-quantum dot coupling. These results provide a new perspective for robust entangled-state preparation in open quantum systems.
