摘要

Abstract

The emitter-cavity strong coupling manifests crucial significance for exploiting quantum technology

especially in the scale of individual emitters. However

due to the small light-matter interaction cross-section

the single emitter-cavity strong coupling has been limited by its harsh requirement on the quality factor of the cavity and the local density of optical states. Herein

we present a strategy termed waveguide-assisted energy quantum transfer (WEQT) to improve the single emitter-cavity coupling strength by extending the interaction cross-section. Multiple ancillary emitters are optically linked by a waveguide

providing an indirect coupling channel to transfer the energy quantum between target emitter and cavity. An enhancement factor of coupling strength

$$ \widetilde{g}/g \gt 10 $$

can be easily achieved

which dramatically release the rigorous design of cavity. As an extension of concept

we further show that the ancillae can be used as controlling bits for a photon gate

opening up new degrees of freedom in quantum manipulation.
