Exact Solutions for Correlated Two-Photon Transport in One-Dimensional Waveguide Coupled to A Two-Level System

Abstract

We give exact solutions for correlated two-photon transport in one-dimensional waveguide coupled to a two-level system, using a Bethe-Ansatz-like approach. The S-matrix is explicitly constructed to account for the transport properties of the photons. We show that the scattering eigenstates of this system include a two-photon bound state that passes through the two-level system as a composite single particle. Also, the two-level system can induce effective attractive or repulsive interactions in space for photons. This general procedure can be applied to the Anderson model as well.

Strongly correlated multiparticle transport in one dimension through a quantum impurity

Jung‐Tsung Shen, Shanhui Fan

We consider the transport properties of multiple-particle quantum states in a class of one-dimensional systems with a single quantum impurity. In these systems, the local interaction at the quantum impurity induces strong and nontrivial correlations between the multiparticles. We outline an exact theoretical approach, based upon real-space equations of motion and the Bethe ansatz, that allows one to construct the full scattering matrix ($S$ matrix) for these systems. In particular, we emphasize the need for a completeness check upon the eigenstates of the $S$ matrix, when these states obtained from Bethe ansatz are used for describing the scattering properties. As a detailed example of our approach, we solve the transport properties of two photons incident on a single two-level atom, when the photons are restricted to a one-dimensional system such as a photonic crystal waveguide. Our approach predicts a number of nonlinear effects involving only two photons, including background fluorescence, spatial attraction and repulsion between the photons, as well as the emergence of a two-photon bound state.

Correlated Two‐Photon Scattering in a 1D Waveguide Coupled to an N‐Type Four‐Level Emitter

Zhen Yi, He Huang, Yan Yan +2 more

Abstract Correlated two‐photon scattering in a waveguide quantum electrodynamics system consisting of a four‐level ‐type emitter (4LE) sidely coupled to a one‐dimensional (1D) waveguide is studied. In the two‐photon regime, scattering eigenstates of the system are constructed by imposing an open boundary condition and defining the incident state as a free plane wave, which includes a photon–photon bound state that passes through the 4LE as a composite single particle. In the multilevel system, the bound state can be tuned by the interference to generate controllable types of interactions (attractive or repulsive) and interaction strengths. Photon‐induced tunneling (bunching) in transmission and photon blockade (antibunching) in reflection are found in the system. In addition, the scattering photon pair off the system is strongly entangled in momentum space.
