Generation of maximally entangled states in hybrid two quantum dots mediated by a spherical metal nanoparticle driven by external laser field

We theoretically study the generation of quantum correlations in a hybrid system composed by two interacting semiconductor quantum dots mediated by a metal nanoparticle and coupled to an external laser field. Interactions present in the hybrid system are treated using a semiclassical approximation except for the direct dipole-dipole interaction. We report the entanglement of formation, which gives information about entanglement quantum correlations, for continuous wave and pulsed driving applied fields. We have found that for proper values of the physical and geometrical parameters of the hybrid system the applied field can be tuned producing quantum correlations of significant value so that they can be useful in quantum information and computation processes.
