A hybrid source of quantum light for generation of frequency tunable Fock states (2404.15908v2)
Published 24 Apr 2024 in quant-ph and physics.optics
Abstract: We propose a scheme for quantum-light generation in a nonlinear cavity hybridized with a 2-level system and theoretically show that, when excited by a series of controlled pump pulses, the hybrid source generates Fock states with high probabilities. E.g., 1- and 2-photon states can be generated near-on-demand, and Fock states with up to $7$ photons with a probability above $50\%$. The tailorable nature of the nonlinear cavity allows for generating Fock states with arbitrary frequencies, even with a fixed 2-level system, creating fundamentally new opportunities in all areas of quantum technologies.
