Abstract

Solid-state quantum electrodynamics (QED) not only demonstrates basic principles of quantum physics, but also provides key support to future quantum technologies. However, the non-modifiability of the fabricated solid-state QED systems limits their flexibility and versatility in manipulating light-matter interaction, and severely hinders their practical applications. Here, we put forward an approach of multi-dimensionally manipulating light-matter interaction to realize a dynamically tunable multifunctional QED platform by combining the local light-induced refractive index modulation (LRIM) and strong dispersion characteristic of the photonic crystal (PC) waveguide. We demonstrate three significant functions of the platform as examples: switch control between weak and strong couplings on demand, distant quantum entanglement, and a directional single photon source with high brightness and efficiency. These functions are strongly robust against positioning error of the quantum emitter, and can be facilely realized only by local LRIM on one PC waveguide. Our work paves a new way for the realization of multifunctional quantum devices.
