Abstract
We theoretically investigate Fano resonance in the absorption spectrum of a quantum dot (QD) based on a hybrid QD-nanomechanical resonator (QD–NR) system mediated by Majorana fermions (MFs) in superconducting iron (Fe) chains. The absorption spectra exhibit a series of asymmetric Fano line shapes, which are accompanied by the rapid normal phase dispersion and induce the optical propagation properties such as the slow light effect under suitable parametric regimes. The results indicated that the slow light induced by MFs can be obtained under different coupling regimes and different detuning regimes. Moreover, we also investigated the role of the NR, and the NR behaving as a phonon cavity enhances the slow light effect.
Highlights
Majorana fermions (MFs) have witnessed significant progress in the past few decades in condensed matter systems due to their potential applications in decoherence-free quantum computation and quantum information processing [1] because they obey non-Abelian statistics
In this paper, motivated by the above-mentioned optical schemes for detecting MFs, we investigated the Fano resonance and slow light in the hybrid system discussed in [22], where a two-level quantum dot (QD) was implanted in an nanomechanical resonator (NR) to probe MFs in ferromagnetic atomic chains on a superconductor
To obtain the enhanced coherent optical properties, we considered that the two-level QD is implanted in an NR system to make up a hybrid QD-nanomechanical resonator (QD–NR) system [22]
Summary
Majorana fermions (MFs) have witnessed significant progress in the past few decades in condensed matter systems due to their potential applications in decoherence-free quantum computation and quantum information processing [1] because they obey non-Abelian statistics. Driven by the optical pump–probe technology [21,22], which may provide a potential supplement for detecting MFs. In order to investigate MF-induced coherent optical propagation, such as the slow light effect, we designed a hybrid QD–SNW/SC ring device [23,24], and to reach the enhanced coherent optical spectra, we considered putting the QD into a nanomechanical resonator (NR) system [21,22]. In this paper, motivated by the above-mentioned optical schemes for detecting MFs, we investigated the Fano resonance and slow light in the hybrid system discussed in [22], where a two-level QD was implanted in an NR to probe MFs in ferromagnetic atomic chains on a superconductor. The slow light effect was enhanced significantly compared with previous work [24] because, here, the NR was introduced in the present system, which acts as a phonon cavity, enhancing the slow light effect
