Theoretical On-Demand Adiabatic Transfer of Light Between Adjacent Optical Cavities

By Nick Chisholm, Ian Linington, Duncan O'Dell

Cavity quantum electrodynamics is one of the most promising systems for realizing quantum computing and communication. One of the most important problems facing researchers today is finding a way to coherently transfer light between two optical cavities connected by an optical fibre. In this work, we provide a method for coherently transferring light between two adjacent optical cavities that share a slightly transmissive common mirror. By using the mode structure of our model, we expect a Landau-Zener adiabatic approach to the time dependence of the shared mirror’s position will allow for this coherent transfer. We believe this work is the first step towards resolving the problem involving two optical cavities connected by an optical fibre.
