Abstract:
Quantum interactions between a single particle and nanoinclusions of spherical or cylindrical
shape are optimized to produce scattering lineshapes of high selectivity with respect to impinging
energies, excitation directions, and cavity sizes. The optimization uses a rigorous solution derived via
electromagnetic scattering formalism while the adopted scheme rejects boundary extrema corresponding
to resonances that occur outside of the permissible parametric domains. The reported effects may inspire
experimental efforts towards designing quantum sensing systems employed in applications spanning from
quantum switching and filtering to single-photon detection and quantum memory.
