Directional emission and photon bunching from a qubit pair in waveguide (2402.01286v2)

Published 2 Feb 2024 in quant-ph and cond-mat.mes-hall

Abstract: Waveguide quantum electrodynamics represents a powerful platform to generate entanglement and tailor photonic states. We consider a pair of identical qubits coupled to a parity invariant waveguide in the microwave domain. By working in the one- and two-excitation sectors, we provide a unified view of decay processes and we show the common origin of directional single photon emission and two photon directional bunching. Unveiling the quantum trajectories, we demonstrate that both phenomena are rooted in the selective coupling of orthogonal qubits Bell states with different photon propagation directions. We comment on how to use this mechanism to implement optimized post-selection of Bell states, heralded by the detection of photons on one qubits side.
