On the dynamics of a quantum coherent feedback network of cavity-mediated double quantum dot qubits

The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive study of a coherent feedback network where the main component consists of two distant double quantum dot (DQD) qubits which are directly coupled to a cavity. This main component has recently been physically realized (van Woerkom, {\it et al.}, Microwave photon-mediated interactions between semiconductor qubits, Physical Review X, 8(4):041018, 2018). The feedback loop is closed by cascading this main component with a beamsplitter. The dynamics of this coherent feedback network is studied from three perspectives. First, an analytic form of the output single-photon state of the network driven by a single-photon state is derived; in particular, it is observed that coherent feedback elongates considerably the interaction between the input single photon and the network. Second, excitation probabilities of DQD qubits are computed when the network is driven by a single-photon input state. Moreover, if the input is vacuum but one of the two DQD qubits is initialized in its excited state, the explicit expression of the state of the network is derived, in particular, it is shown that the output field and the two DQD qubits can form an entangled state if the transition frequencies of two DQD qubits are equal. Finally, the exact form of the pulse shape is obtained by which the single-photon input can fully excite one of these two DQD qubits at any controllable time, which may be useful in the construction of $2$-qubit quantum gates.
