光子人工微结构材料中的若干类量子现象

Quantum-classical analogies in engineered photonic structures

类量子现象又称为量子现象的经典对应(quantum-classical analogies),它是利用经典波动行为与量子波动行为的相似性来模拟和研究量子现象.近年来,光子人工微结构材料中类量子现象研究很活跃,文章对这方面的有关研究进展做了简要介绍.内容主要包括光子晶体和超构材料(metamaterials)中的类凝聚态系统量子现象和类原子系统量子现象,如类石墨烯量子现象、类拓扑绝缘体量子现象、类量子动力学现象、类Rabi振荡现象、类电磁感应透明现象、类Fano共振现象等.

The study of quantum-classical analogies aims to mimic quantum effects in classical systems based on the similar physics between classical and quantum waves. Recently, a variety of experimental and theoretical work has revealed various quantum-classical analogies in engineered photonie structures. The purpose of this review is to give a brief introduction to those quantum-like phenomena in photonic crystals and metamaterials which closely resemble the behavior in condensed matter and atomic systems. These include, for example, the novel transmission in graphene and topological insulators, quantum dynamics, Rabi oscillation, electromagnetically induced transparency, and Fano resonance.
