Modification of the Emission Spectrum of a Quantum Emitter in the Vicinity of Bismuth Chalcogenide Microparticles

We examine theoretically the effect of bismuth chalcogenide microparticles on the spontaneous emission of a double-V-type quantum emitter in free space. We have found, in particular, that the presence of a single microparticle causes a high degree of quantum interference in the way the quantum emitter releases energy in the process of spontaneous emission. This, in turn, leads to significant changes in the spectrum of the emitted energy. The quantum emitter's initial state is crucial to how the energy is released in the presence of the microparticle. This observation has potential implications for quantum computing, particularly for reading the state of atomic qubits. When two microparticles are present, the effect is more pronounced, particularly when the quantum emitter is located in the gap between the particles.

In this article, the theoretical effect of bismuth chalcogenide microparticles on the spontaneous emission of a double-V-type quantum emitter in free space is examined. It is found that the presence of a single microparticle results in a high degree of quantum interference, leading to significant changes in the emitted energy spectrum. The initial state of the quantum emitter plays a crucial role in the energy release in the presence of the microparticle. This observation has potential implications for quantum computing, especially in the reading of atomic qubit states. The effect is more pronounced when two microparticles are present, particularly when the quantum emitter is located in the gap between the particles.
