| Popis: | A single-photon switch is an important element for the building of scalable quantum networks. In this paper, we propose a feasible scheme for efficient single-photon switching. The proposed switch is controlled by a state of a qubit formed by the pair of the lowest levels of a three-level system (qutrit) coupled to a resonator. This resonator-qutrit system comprises a switching unit of the considered setup. For suppression of the Purcell relaxation of the control qubit, the switching unit is embedded into a coupled-resonator array serving as an engineered electromagnetic environment with a band gap on a qubit transition frequency. We discuss the possible implementation of the considered single-photon switch on the microwave circuit QED architecture. We demonstrate that high switching contrasts can be attained for the parameters achievable for the state-of-the-art superconducting circuit QED setups. Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures |
