摘要

Quantum nonreciprocity at few-photon level typically requires strong symmetry breaking, posing significant experimental challenges. Here we demonstrate that phase-controlled quantum interference can amplify weak chirality into giant quantum nonreciprocity. We consider two phase-programmable atoms coupled to a spinning whispering-gallery-mode resonator, where interference dramatically amplifies the effect of weak Fizeau splitting. This mechanism generates pronounced directional asymmetry in photon statistics, featuring bright antibunched emission in one direction and strongly bunched emission in the opposite direction. Remarkably, both correlation and brightness isolations obey phase-controlled power-law scaling with Fizeau splitting, reaching up to 65~dB and 17.3~dB, respectively. Our results establish interference-enhanced weak chirality as a powerful route toward directional nonclassical light sources.
