Observation of the Unconventional Photon Blockade

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We observe the unconventional photon blockade effect in quantum dot cavity QED, which, in contrast to the conventional photon blockade, operates in the weak coupling regime. A single quantum dot transition is simultaneously coupled to two orthogonally pola ...

Nonclassical statistics from a polaritonic Josephson junction

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We theoretically study the emission statistics of a weakly nonlinear photonic dimer during coherent oscillations. We show that the phase and population dynamics allow to periodically meet an optimal squeezing condition resulting in a strongly nonclassical ...

Mastering the statistical properties of microcavity polaritons

Albert Adiyatullin

Microcavity polaritons are hybrid quasiparticles emerging from the strong coupling between quantum well excitons and light in the resonator. Their unique half-light half-matter nature brings in specific properties like low effective mass, nonlinearity due ...

Single photons from dissipation in coupled cavities

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We propose a single-photon source based on a pair of weakly nonlinear optical cavities subject to a one-directional dissipative coupling. When both cavities are driven by mutually coherent fields, sub-Poissonian light is generated in the target cavity even ...

Remote macroscopic entanglement on a photonic crystal architecture

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac, Momchil Minkov

The outstanding progress in nanostructure fabrication and cooling technologies allows what was unthinkable a few decades ago: bringing single-mode mechanical vibrations to the quantum regime. The coupling between photon and phonon excitations is a natural ...
