We develop a microscopic model to investigate current-induced light emission in single-molecule tunnel junctions, where a two-level system interacts with a plasmonic field. Using the quantum master equation, we explore the transition from…
We explain the probe field transmission spectrum under the influence of a strong pump field in a hybrid optomechanical system, composed of an optical cavity, a mechanical resonator, and a two-level atom. We show fast (superluminal) and slow…
We examine a fundamental problem in quantum optics: What is the optimal pulse form to drive a two-photon-transition? We show that entangled photons in general do so more efficiently than optimal classical pulses, and provide the first…
The quantum interference between a coherent state and a single photon is an important tool in continuous variable optical quantum technologies to characterize and engineer non-Gaussian quantum states. Semiconductor quantum dots, which have…
Quantum imaging employs the nonclassical correlation of photons to break through the noise limitation of classical imaging, realizing high sensitivity, high SNR imaging and multifunctional image processing. To enhance the flexibility and…
The interaction of light with a single two-level emitter is the most fundamental process in quantum optics, and is key to many quantum applications. As a distinctive feature, two photons are never detected simultaneously in the light…
We propose to manipulate the statistic properties of the photons transport nonreciprocally via quadratic optomechanical coupling. We present a scheme to generate quadratic optomechanical interactions in the normal optical modes of a…
Efficient transduction of electromagnetic signals between different frequency scales is an essential ingredient for modern communication technologies as well as for the emergent field of quantum information processing. Recent advances in…
We study the two-photon scattering processes in a one-dimensional waveguide coupled to a two- or three-level giant atom, respectively. The accumulated phase shift between the two coupling points can be utilized to alter the scattering…
This paper describes a novel atom-cavity interaction induced by periodically poled atom-cavity coupling constant which leads to multiple narrow photoemission bands for an initially inverted two-level atom under the strong coupling…
The rate of $m$-photon transitions in matter, induced by an incident light field, depends on the field's $m$th order coherence function. Consequently, the coherence properties of the light field may be shaped to increase the rate of…
We propose a fruitful scheme for exploring multiphoton entangled states based on linear optics and weak nonlinearities. Compared with the previous schemes the present method is more feasible because there are only small phase shifts instead…
The validity of the few-level approximation in dipole-dipole interacting collective systems is discussed. As example system, we study the archetype case of two dipole-dipole interacting atoms, each modelled by two complete sets of angular…
A cascade of two-level superconducting artificial atoms -- a source and a probe -- strongly coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide is a promising tool for observing nontrivial phenomena in quantum nonlinear optics. The probe atom can scatter…
We propose a general scheme for inducing resonant exchange between spins or pseudo-spins of unmatched levels via periodic driving. The basic idea is illustrated for a system of two heteronuclear atoms, for which analytical results are…
Coherent long-range interactions between atoms are a prerequisite for numerous applications in the field of quantum information science, but they usually decrease exponentially with the increase in atomic separation. Here we present an…
We present a study of the quantum properties of two light fields used to parametric four-wave mixing in a Raman-type atomic system. The system realizes an effective Hamiltonian of beamsplitter type coupling between the light fields, which…
Broadband single photons are usually considered not to couple efficiently to atomic gases because of the large mismatch in bandwidth. Contrary to this intuitive picture, here we demonstrate that the interaction of ultrashort single photons…
We investigate the propagation of a single photon under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency in two parallel one-dimensional atomic clouds which are coupled via Rydberg dipole-dipole interaction. Initially the system is…
Phase-mismatch in nonlinear optical processes can severely limit the propagation and conversion efficiency of light fields. Here, we present an efficient optimal-control strategy to mitigate the detrimental effects of phase-mismatch in an…
