Intensified antibunching via feedback-induced quantum interference

Quantum Physics 2017-07-05 v1

Abstract

We numerically show that time delayed coherent feedback controls the statistical output characteristics of driven quantum emitters. Quantum feedback allows to enhance or suppress a wide range of classical and nonclassical features of the emitted quantum light. As exemplary quantum system, we use a pumped cavity containing two emitters. By applying phase-selective feedback, we demonstrate that photon antibunching and bunching can be increased in orders of magnitude due to intrinsically and externally controllabe quantum interferences. Our modelling is based on a fully non-Markovian quantum simulation of a structured photon continuum. We show that an approximative method in the Schr\"odinger picture allows a very good estimate for quantum feedback induced features for low pump rates.
