Abstract:
Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (Cavity-QED) is at the heart of quantum realm. Experimental systems operating in the Cavity-QED regime can serve as models for qbits as well as sources of entangled photons. Traditional realization of optical Cavity-QED involves discrete photonic modes of a Fabry-Perot cavity coupled to a quantum emitter, generating Rabi-split polaritonic states. However, due to the closed nature of the cavity, only the frequencies of the polaritonic transitions are transmitted, making spectroscopy of the quantum-state-dynamics within the cavity very challenging. We develop a novel open Cavity-QED system based on plasmonic Antenna Lattice Resonances (ALR) of high quality factor operating at mid-IR, providing an excellent platform to study strong light-matter interactions including Bose-Einstein condensation, threshold-less lasing, Cavity-QED chemistry and more.
