Resonance energy transfer and quantum entanglement mediated by epsilon-near-zero and other plasmonic waveguide systems

Y Li, A Nemilentsau, C Argyropoulos - Nanoscale, 2019 - pubs.rsc.org
The resonance energy transfer and entanglement between two-level quantum emitters are
typically limited to sub-wavelength distances due to the inherently short-range nature of the …

Nonreciprocal transmission in nonlinear PT‐symmetric metamaterials using epsilon‐near‐zero media doped with defects

B **, C Argyropoulos - Advanced Optical Materials, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Nonreciprocal transmission forms the basic operation mechanism of optical diodes and
isolators and requires the tantalizing task of breaking the Lorentz reciprocity law. In this …
