We discuss duality in ``two-photon''-like processes in the scalar $\varphi^3_E$ model and also in the process $\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi\pi$ in QCD. Duality implies the equivalence between two distinct nonperturbative mechanisms. These two…
We show that strongly correlated photon transport can be observed in waveguides containing optically dense ensembles of emitters. Remarkably, this occurs even for weak coupling efficiencies. Specifically, we compute the photon transport…
We introduce and study the properties of an array of QED cavities coupled by nonlinear elements, in the presence of photon leakage and driven by a coherent source. The nonlinear couplings lead to photon hopping and to nearest-neighbor Kerr…

Single photon emitters often rely on a strong nonlinearity to make the behaviour of a quantum mode susceptible to a change in the number of quanta between one and two. In most systems the strength of nonlinearity is weak, such that changes…
