Single photon quantum filtering using non-Markovian embeddings

John Edward Gough, M. R. James, Hendra I. Nurdin

We determine quantum master and filter equations for continuous measurement of systems coupled to input fields in certain non-classical continuous-mode states, specifically single photon states. The quantum filters are shown to be derivable from an embedding into a larger non-Markovian system, and are given by a system of coupled stochastic differential equations.

Multi-photon filtering

Hongting Song, Guofeng Zhang, Zairong Xi

The purpose of this paper is to derive filters for an arbitrary open quantum system driven by a light wavepacket prepared in a continuous-mode multi-photon state. A continuous-mode multi-photon state is a state of a travelling light wavepacket that contains a definite number of photons and is characterised by a temporal (or equivalently spectral) profile. After the interaction with the system, the outgoing light can be monitored by means of homodyne detection or photodetection. Filters for both measurement schemes are derived in this paper. Unlike the vacuum or the coherent state case, the annihilation operator of the light field acting on a multi-photon state changes the state by annihilating a photon, and this makes the traditional filtering techniques inapplicable. To circumvent this difficulty, we adopt a non-Markovian embedding technique proposed in \cite{gough:2013} for the study of the single-photon filtering problem. However, the multi-photon nature of the problem addressed in this paper makes the study much more mathematically involved. Moreover, as demonstrated by an example --- a two-level system driven by a continuous-mode two-photon state, multi-photon filters can reveal interesting strong nonlinear optical phenomena absent in both the single-photon state case and the continuous-mode Fock state case.

Continuous-Mode MultiPhoton Filtering
