Perfectly Capturing Traveling Single Photons of Arbitrary Temporal Wavepackets with a Single Tuneable Device

Presented by Hendra Nurdin, University of New South Wales

In this seminar, I will show the explicit analytical form of the time-dependent coupling parameter to an external field for perfect absorption of traveling single photon fields with arbitrary temporal profiles by a tunable single input-output open quantum system, which can be realized as either a single qubit or single resonator system. However, the time-dependent coupling parameter for perfect absorption has a singularity at t=0 and constraints on real systems prohibit a faithful physical realization of the perfect absorber. A numerical example is included to illustrate the absorber's performance under practical limitations on the coupling strength.
