Abstract

It's shown that the complex quantum structure of nonclassical superposition states is reflected in instability of resonance fluorescence driven by an optical field being initially excited into the superposition of two phase shifted coherent states.

Tunable high-order coherence in the interference of resonance fluorescence and laser light

Hua-Lei Yin, Rong-Zheng Liu, Sheng-Tao Lyu +1 more

Resonance fluorescence arises from the coherent interaction of laser light with a two-level system and constitutes a quantum light source exhibiting single-photon emission and antibunching, making it a fundamental building block for future quantum networks. Our recent work [Nat. Commun.16, 6453 (2025)10.1038/s41467-025-61884-x] demonstrates that under continuous-wave excitation and in the absence of pure dephasing, the single-time joint state of resonance fluorescence and the two-level system can be described by a pure entangled state. Here, we analyze the cross-correlation and auto-correlation properties of the quantum optical field generated by the interference of resonance fluorescence with laser light at the resonance excitation frequency. Simulation results indicate that by varying the intensity or phase of the interfering laser light, the higher-order coherence of the post-interference quantum optical field transitions from anti-bunching to super-bunching behavior, consistent with recent theoretical and experimental advances by mean-field engineering. This approach offers a complementary framework to characterize and manipulate the multiphoton quantum optical fields.

Collective resonance fluorescence in a squeezed vacuum

Tran Quang, M. Kozierowski, L. H. Lan

The resonance fluorescence of a small sample of N two-level atoms driven by a strong resonant coherent field and damped by a squeezed vacuum is examined. The steady-state spectrum is shown to be dramatically dependent on the relative phase of the pumping field and on the squeezed-vacuum field in both the strong- and weak-squeezing limits.

Resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom excited by a superposition of coherent states, and the instability of the average atomic dipole moment

S. Ya. Kilin, Vyacheslav Shatokhin

We find the evolution of average atomic variables in the resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom excited by a superposition of coherent states shifted in phase by π . A new effect is predicted, the quantum instability of the average atomic dipole moment, with a strong correlation between atom and field being the reason. We propose different ways of verifying the effect in experiments involving high- Q optical and microwave cavities.
