Description of the research topic:

Recently, plasmonic structures attract more and more interest. The peculiarity of these structures is that light confinement much smaller than the diffraction limit of ordinary optical elements can be achieved. Moreover, interfacing them with existing optical networks can be readily done. The main drawback of light guiding with plasmonic waveguide is the large loss. However, there are techniques to avoid the population of strongly decaying states in a compound waveguide -- atom system, yet realizing excitation transfer between coupled atomic systems. Hence the plasmonic waveguide and cavities could be used to mediate the interaction between far located atomic qubits. The goal of the proposed thesis project is to work out the description of atom-field interaction nearby a plasmonic waveguide. Find ways for the tuning of the interaction parameters. Finally, to work out the controlled interaction between a plasmonic waveguide and several atomic qubits.

Required language skills: C1, excellent english
Further requirements: 
strong background in theoretical physics, interest in light-matter interaction, some computer simulation knowledge is an adventage (some numerics cannot be avoided)

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2017-05-31
