ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR PHYSICS

We theoretically design a single-mode plasmonic ring nanocavity. Based on the plasmonic cavity, the exciton dynamics between two identical quantum dots (QD-p, QD-q) coupled to the nanocavity are investigated. It is shown that the coupling factors gi (i = p, q) between QD-i and surface plasmons are both equal to 12.53meV in our model and exciton population swap between the two QDs can be realized. The periods and amplitudes of population oscillations can be modified by the coupling factors. Our results may have potential applications in quantum information and quantum computation on a chip.
