Title: Antibunching dynamics of plasmonically mediated entanglement generation

Journal Article · · Physical Review A

Dissipative entanglement generation protocols embrace open quantum system dynamics to generate long-lived entangled states. In this letter, we report that zero-delay anti-bunching in the $$g^{(2)}(\tau)$$ correlation function is a signature of dissipative entanglement between actively driven quantum emitters coupled to a plasmonic resirvoir. The anti-bunching effect is a universal signature for entangled bi-partite states generated by relaxation to sub-radiant subspaces. We discuss how the anti-bunching can be validated on experimentally feasible timescales by a Hanburry Brown and Twiss interferometer and analyze the entanglement generation robustness with respect to variations in local detunings, system couplings, and driving fields.
