Atoma??photon entanglement near a plasmonic nanostructure

摘要： We investigate the atom–photon entanglement between a four-level double V-type quantum system and a linearly polarized ?eld near a plasmonic nanostructure in the presence of a static magnetic ?eld. It is demonstrated that the magneto-optical effect can affect the atom–photon entanglement only when the atom is near the plasmonic nanostructure. We show that atom–photon entanglement increases when the quantum system is placed near the plasmonic nanostructure in order to modi?cation of the spontaneous decays of the quantum system. It is demonstrated that the degree of entanglement (DEM) increases by increasing the intensity of the linearly polarized ?eld when the quantum system is close to the surface of the plasmons. Moreover, we ?nd that near the plasmonic nanostructure, the static magnetic ?eld has a major role in increasing the steady-state DEM so that the DEM is completely demolished in the absence of the static magnetic ?eld. Finally, it is shown that the atom–photon entanglement near a plasmonic nanostructure is destroyed by free space decay rate.
