Two-Photon Transport in a Waveguide Coupled to a Cavity with a Two-level System (1009.2828v1)
Published 15 Sep 2010 in quant-ph and cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: We consider a system where a waveguide is coupled to a cavity embedded with a two-level system (TLS), and study the effects when a two-photon quantum state is injected into the waveguide. The wave function of two outgoing photons is exactly solved using the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann (LSZ) reduction formalism. Our results explicitly exhibit the photon blockade effects in the strong atom-cavity coupling regime. The quantum statistical characters of the outgoing photons, including the photon bunching and anti-bunching behaviors, are also investigated in both the strong and weak coupling regimes. These results agree with the observations of recent experiments.
