Long-lived entanglement of two multilevel atoms in a waveguide (1705.01967v2)
Published 4 May 2017 in quant-ph
Abstract: We study the presence of nontrivial bound states of two multilevel quantum emitters and the photons propagating in a linear waveguide. We characterize the conditions for the existence of such states and determine their general properties, focusing in particular on the entanglement between the two emitters, that increases with the number of excitations. We discuss the relevance of the results for entanglement preservation and generation by spontaneous relaxation processes.
