Abstract

Dissipation is generally regarded as detrimental to nonclassical-state generation, yet whether it can determine which quantum resource is emitted from an open hybrid quantum system remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that the symmetry of bosonic dissipation channels can select and switch quantum-emission pathways in a tripartite Mollow system, where a strongly driven two-level emitter simultaneously couples to cavity photons and motional phonons. In the Mollow regime, higher-order tripartite interactions generate resonant photon-phonon pair excitations, whose emitted quantum states are subsequently selected by dissipation. Under symmetric dissipation, the system produces strongly correlated photon-phonon pairs, enabling both single-pair emission and correlated multipair bundles with pronounced nonclassical correlations. Breaking the dissipation symmetry progressively suppresses the hybrid correlations and dynamically decouples the photonic and phononic degrees of freedom. In the strongly asymmetric regime, long-lived phonons accumulate in highly excited Fock states, while rapidly leaking cavity photons are converted into high-purity single-photon and two-photon bundles. The crossover between these distinct emission regimes is characterized through time-resolved correlation functions, Fock-state distributions, and Wigner quasiprobability distributions. Our results establish dissipation symmetry as a resource for steering quantum emission between hybrid and purely photonic nonclassical states, providing a route toward programmable hybrid quantum emitters and dissipative quantum-state engineering.

Tripartite Interactions Induced Strongly Correlated Quantum Emissions

Efficient generation of multiquanta emission is crucial for quantum information processing but remains challenging due to its typical reliance on higher-order quantum processes. Here, we theoretically demonstrate strongly correlated photon-phonon emission enabled by direct tripartite interaction. This interaction facilitates the formation of high-order multiquanta states without more intermediate state transitions, thereby avoiding the suppressed transition rates associated with multiple sequential processes and substantially improving resonant transitions. As a result, high-efficiency strongly correlated even-quanta emission (e.g., two photons and two phonons) can be achieved in the presences of dissipation. Beyond that, we show that introducing two-photon dissipation enables strongly correlated odd-quanta emission (e.g., two photons and one phonon) in the tripartite interaction system by parity-protected suppression of single-photon loss and reconstruction of higher-order multiquanta processes. Our work extends multiquanta emission into the tripartite coupling regime and holds promising potential for applications in hybrid quantum networks.

Nonreciprocal Bundle Emissions of Quantum Entangled Pairs

Qian Bin, Hui Jing, Ying Nian Wu +2 more

Realizing precise control over multiquanta emission is crucial for quantum information processing, especially when integrated with advanced techniques of manipulating quantum states. Here, by spinning the resonator to induce the Sagnac effect, we can obtain nonreciprocal photon-phonon and photon-magnon super-Rabi oscillations under conditions of optically driving resonance transitions. Opening dissipative channels for such super-Rabi oscillations enables the realization of directional bundle emissions of entangled photon-phonon pairs and photon-magnon pairs by transferring the pure multiquanta state to a bundled multiquanta outside of the system. This nonreciprocal emission is a flexible switch that can be controlled with precision, and simultaneous emissions of different entangled pairs (such as photon-phonon or photon-magnon pairs) can even emerge but in opposite directions by driving the resonator from different directions. This ability to flexibly manipulate the system allows us to achieve directional entangled multiquanta emitters, and has also potential applications for building hybrid quantum networks and on-chip quantum communications.

Kerr-Filtered Hybrid States from Double-Squeezed Tripartite Interactions

Jing Tang, Yuangang Deng

Multipartite interactions provide a unique route to generate hybrid quantum states, yet their intrinsically weak nonlinear coupling limits the controllable manipulation of the resulting correlations. Here we show that cooperative double squeezing and cavity Kerr nonlinearity together enable controllable engineering of Kerr-filtered hybrid states in a tripartite spin-photon-phonon system. Double squeezing exponentially enhances the spin-mediated photon-phonon pair-generation channel, whereas the Kerr interaction selectively reshapes the photonic component while maintaining the underlying tripartite conversion process. This mechanism reconstructs the composition of the hybrid excitation and gives rise to a fourfold phase-space manifold associated with spontaneous $Z_{2}^{(a)}\times Z_{2}^{(b)}$ parity breaking. Our results reveal a strategy for engineering hybrid quantum states by combining interaction amplification with mode-selective nonlinear filtering.

Interference-Controlled Nonclassical Photon Emission via Cavity-Mediated Spin Exchange

Jing Tang, Yuangang Deng

Abstract The generation of nonclassical light with strong photon antibunching and appreciable brightness remains an important goal in quantum technologies. Here, we demonstrate that cavity-mediated spin-exchange interactions provide a route to overcome this constraint by amplifying spectral anharmonicity. In a two-emitter cavity-QED system with a controllable relative phase φ , the resulting interference-interaction mechanism reshapes the dressed-state manifold and enables switching between distinct quantum emission regimes. For φ = 0, constructive interference yields highquality single-photon emission with near-perfect antibunching, suppressing g 1 (2) (0) by more than three orders of magnitude while maintaining a substantial intracavity photon population. Conversely, for φ = π , destructive interference suppresses direct single-photon excitation and selectively enhances two-photon excitation, producing signatures of correlated two-photon emission with appreciable intracavity photon populations and suppressed higher-order excitations. Our work establishes interference-engineered interactions as a mechanism for the controllable selection of single-photon and photon-pair emission, opening new opportunities for programmable nonclassical light sources and quantum photonic applications.

Tripartite Entanglement Generation in Atom-Coupled Dual Microresonators System

Abhishek Mandal, Joy Ghosh, Maruthi Manoj Brundavanam +1 more

In this work, we investigate the emergence and control of genuine tripartite entanglement in a hybrid cavity quantum electrodynamics architecture consisting of two linearly coupled single mode resonators, one of which interacts coherently with a two level atom. An analytical framework is developed in a weak driving regime, where the system dynamically supports a delocalized hybrid excitation shared by the two photonic modes and the atomic degree of freedom. Tripartite concurrence fill has been used to characterize and identify parameter regimes of maximal multipartite quantum correlation that can be generated in this model. Additionally, we demonstrate how dissipative rates and detuning asymmetries govern the conversion of bipartite entanglement into a genuinely tripartite state, establishing a controllable transition from localized Jaynes Cummings correlations to delocalized photonic atomic entanglement networks. These findings outline a clear route to engineering steady state multipartite quantum resources in coupled cavity QED platforms, with direct relevance to quantum networking, distributed quantum information processing, and photonic state routing in scalable quantum architectures.

Dissipative phonon-Fock-state production in strong nonlinear optomechanics

G. D. de Moraes Neto, Víctor Montenegro, Victor Fernandes Teizen +1 more

We put forward a deterministic dissipative protocol to prepare phonon Fock states in nonlinear quantum optomechanical devices. The system is composed of a mechanical mode interacting with an optical field via radiation pressure, whereas the light mode is laser driven in the resolved blue-sideband regime. To keep our results tractable, we switch to an interaction picture in a displaced basis, where the effective Hamiltonian exhibits the selective photon-phonon interaction explicitly. After proper parameter adjustment and similarly to cavity-cooling schemes, the quantum evolution allows steering of the mechanical degree of freedom to the desired Fock state by directing the optical excitations dynamically towards the target phonon state. The numerical results, including decoherence on both the mechanical and the optical degrees of freedom, prove to be quite robust in the good- and bad-cavity regimes, with fidelities exceeding 95%. Finally, characterization of the achieved nonclassicality, as well as the limitations and feasibility of our protocol under experimental parameters, is also discussed.
