Strong radiative coupling between two quantum emitters with arbitrary mutual orientation via a silver nano-arc

Strong radiative coupling realizes coherent exchange of single excitation between two quantum emitters, while their dipole orientation influences the coupling strength in anisotropic environments. We propose a silver nano-arc with arbitrary radian which can support two hot spots of electric field with radian-independent resonant wavelength. Two quantum emitters resonant with the cavity mode, embedded inside the two hot spots and oriented along the nano-arc axis, can realize strong radiative coupling, verified by the large splitting and anti-crossing behavior in the spectrum and the population oscillation in the time domain. All these signatures of strong radiative coupling are robust against the nano-arc’s curvature. Our work provides a flexible approach to realize strong radiative coupling between two quantum emitters with arbitrary mutual orientation and facilitates quantum information processing.
