Linear intensity dependence of a two-photon transition rate

Juha Javanainen, P. L. Gould

At low intensities the rate of two-photon transitions in an atom driven by parametrically down-converted light may be linear in intensity. Such a violation of the usual perturbative law arises from strong correlations between pairs of photons.

Research of radiation characteristics in a parametrically driven cavity

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) serves as a fundamental platform for studying light-matter interactions at a single-particle level and has been extensively investigated in fundamental physics and quantum information. Recent development of parametrically squeezed techniques has demonstrated that they have the remarkable ability to exponentially enhance coherent atom-cavity coupling. However, the full extent to which these techniques can manipulate quantum optical phenomena requires further exploration. This work systematically investigates the influence of optical parametric amplification on single-photon excited atom-cavity systems within a parametrically driven cavity. In the proposed model, optical parametric amplification converts the driving photons into a squeezed cavity mode, which enhances the atom-cavity interaction into the strong coupling region. Through analytical derivation of atomic and cavity radiation spectra, we demonstrate that the optical parametric amplification induces splitting of atomic radiation spectra while exerting negligible effects on spectral intensity. Conversely, the cavity transmission spectrum exhibits both pronounced splitting and nonlinear intensity amplification. Notably, as driving field intensity approaches a critical intensity regime, the cavity radiation spectrum intensity is significantly enhanced. The underlying mechanism is parametric driving amplification, which converts the driving light into a squeezed cavity mode. When this squeezed mode is mapped back to the fundamental mode of the cavity through Bogoliubov squeezing transformation, the pump photons within the squeezed cavity mode are converted into the photons that contribute to the radiation spectrum of the cavity, thereby amplifying its intensity. This parametric enhancement method not only deepens the basic understanding of light-matter interactions, but also establishes a practical framework for improving the single-photon detection sensitivity in cavity-based quantum systems. These findings have broad prospects for quantum sensing and information processing applications.

Codifying two images in the wavefunction of a photon

André Guilherme Moreira

In this work we propose a quantum optics experiment to encode the information about two two-dimensional objects into the wavefunction of a photon. The method we propose uses parametric downconversion of laser light in order to generate pairs of entangled photons. One of the objects is to be placed along the pump beam, its angular spectrum being transferred to the down-converted photons. The second object is placed along the path taken by one of the photons. Upon detection of that photon, and depending on the experimentalist’s choice of lens, the intensity profile on the detection plane of the other photon will match that of one object or the other.
