We develop a theory of the quasi-static electrodynamic Greens function of deep subwavelength optical cavities containing an hyperbolic medium. We apply our theory to one-dimensional cavities realized using an hexagonal boron nitride and a patterned metallic substrate.

Scalable quantum technologies require faithful conversion between matter qubits storing the quantum information and photonic qubits carrying the information in integrated circuits and waveguides. We demonstrate that the electromagnetic field chirality which arises in nanophotonic waveguides leads to unidirectional emission from an embedded quantum dot quantum emitter, with resultant in-plane transfer of matter-qubit (spin) information. The chiral behavior occurs despite the non-chiral geometry and material of the waveguides. Using dot registration techniques we achieve a quantum emitter deterministically positioned at a chiral point and realize spin-path conversion by design. We measure and compare the phenomena in single mode nanobeam and photonic crystal waveguides. The former is much more tolerant to dot position, exhibits experimental spin-path readout as high as 95 +/- 5% and has potential to serve as the basis of future spin-logic and network implementations.
Color centers in diamond provide a promising platform for quantum optics in the solid state, with coherent optical transitions and long-lived electron and nuclear spins. Building upon recent demonstrations of nanophotonic waveguides and optical cavities in single-crystal diamond, we now demonstrate on-chip diamond nanophotonics with a high efficiency fiber-optical interface, achieving > 90% power coupling at visible wavelengths. We use this approach to demonstrate a bright source of narrowband single photons, based on a silicon-vacancy color center embedded within a waveguide-coupled diamond photonic crystal cavity. Our fiber-coupled diamond quantum nanophotonic interface results in a high flux of coherent single photons into a single mode fiber, enabling new possibilities for realizing quantum networks that interface multiple emitters, both on-chip and separated by long distances.
We present a further development of methods for analytical calculations of Greens functions of lattice fermions based on recurrence relations. Applying it to tight-binding systems and topological superconductors in different dimensions we obtain a number of new results. In particular we derive an explicit expression for arbitrary Greens function of an open Kitaev chain and discover non-local fermionic corner states in a 2D p-wave superconductor.
The notions of Bloch wave, crystal momentum, and energy bands are commonly regarded as unique features of crystalline materials with commutative translation symmetries. Motivated by the recent realization of hyperbolic lattices in circuit quantum electrodynamics, we exploit ideas from algebraic geometry to construct the first hyperbolic generalization of Bloch theory, despite the absence of commutative translation symmetries. For a quantum particle propagating in a hyperbolic lattice potential, we construct a continuous family of eigenstates that acquire Bloch-like phase factors under a discrete but noncommutative group of hyperbolic translations, the Fuchsian group of the lattice. A hyperbolic analog of crystal momentum arises as the set of Aharonov-Bohm phases threading the cycles of a higher-genus Riemann surface associated with this group. This crystal momentum lives in a higher-dimensional Brillouin zone torus, the Jacobian of the Riemann surface, over which a discrete set of continuous energy bands can be computed.
The theoretical interpretation of measurements of wavefunctions and spectra in electromagnetic cavities excited by antennas is considered. Assuming that the characteristic wavelength of the field inside the cavity is much larger than the radius of the antenna, we describe antennas as point-like perturbations. This approach strongly simplifies the problem reducing the whole information on the antenna to four effective constants. In the framework of this approach we overcame the divergency of series of the phenomenological scattering theory and justify assumptions lying at the heart of wavefunction measurements. This selfconsistent approach allowed us to go beyond the one-pole approximation, in particular, to treat the experiments with degenerated states. The central idea of the approach is to introduce ``renormalized Green function, which contains the information on boundary reflections and has no singularity inside the cavity.
