Controlling the spontaneous emission and entanglement of quantum scatterers via modulated reflection of their emitted photons
Abstract We propose an experimental setup for manipulating the spontaneous emission (SE) of quantum scatterers, based on a spatial light modulator. We discuss this idea in the case of trapped barium ions as quantum emitters. A first novelty is the potential to entangle more than two ions through a single photon detection event with programmable adaptive optics. Additionally, this setup can be used to control the SE of single-photons emitted collectively by spatially distinguished quantum emitters.
