Photon-added one-photon and two-photon nonlinear coherent states
From the photon-added one-photon nonlinear coherent states a†m|α, f〉, we introduce a new type of nonlinear coherent states with negative values of m. The nonlinear coherent states corresponding to the positive and negative values of m are shown to be the result of nonunitarily deforming the number states |m〉 and |0〉, respectively. As an example, we study the sub-Poissonian statistics and squeez...
متن کاملQuantum effects in one-photon and two-photon interference
Although interference is intrinsically a classical wave phenomenon, the superposition principle which underlies all interference is also at the heart of quantum mechanics. Feynman has referred to interference as really ‘‘the only mystery’’ of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, in some interference experiments we encounter the idea of quantum entanglement, which has also been described as really th...
متن کاملOne-Dimensional Waveguide Coupled to Multiple Qubits: Photon-Photon Correlations
For a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide coupled to two or three qubits, we show that the photon-photon correlations have a wide variety of behavior, with structure that depends sensitively on the frequency and on the qubit-qubit separation L. We study the correlations by calculating the second-order correlation function g2(t) in which the interference among the photons multiply scattered from the ...
متن کاملPhoton energy upconversion in porphyrins: one-photon hot-band absorption versus two-photon absorption
We study the porphyrin S1 ! S0 fluorescence and the photosensitized singlet oxygen Dg ! Rg phosphorescence, both originating from absorption of photons with energy less than the porphyrin S0 ! S1 transition energy. By measuring the excitation intensity dependence of fluorescence at lowered sample temperatures, we are able to discriminate between two parallel processes of one-photon hot-band abs...
متن کاملNonlinear optics with less than one photon.
We demonstrate suppression and enhancement of spontaneous parametric down-conversion via quantum interference with two weak fields from a local oscillator (LO). Effectively, pairs of LO photons up-convert with high efficiency for appropriate phase settings, exhibiting an effective nonlinearity enhanced by at least 10 orders of magnitude. This constitutes a two-photon switch and promises to be a...
