Coupled mode theory predicts that the long-distance coupling between two distant harmonic oscillators is in the weak coupling regime. However, a recent experimental measurement observed strong coupling of magnon and critically-driven photon…
Conventional wisdom holds that quantum effects are fragile and can be destroyed by loss. Here, contrary to general belief, we show how to realize quantum revival of optical correlations at the single-photon level with the help of loss. We…
