Full two-photon down-conversion of a single photon

Abstract: We demonstrate, both numerically and analytically, that it is possible to deterministically generate two photons from one and only one photon. We characterize the output two-photon field and make our calculations close to reality by including losses. Our proposal relies on real or artificial three-level atoms with a cyclic transition strongly coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. We show that almost perfect down-conversion, with efficiency over 99%, is reachable using state-of-the-art waveguide QED architect… Show more

“…In order to emphasize the new features obtained from the two-dimensional scenario compared to other type of reservoirs [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][69][70][71][72][73] we revisit the one-dimensional model with nearest neighbour coupling used to describe waveguide QED setups. This model assumes hopping at a rate J between N bosonic modes distributed along a line.…”

“…By structured we mean possesing a periodic structure that gives rise to the existence of bands in the dispersion relation of the propagating modes. For example, placing the QE energies within the bandgap leads to the localization of photons around them [46][47][48][49][50][51][52], which can mediate long-range purely coherent interactions between the QEs [53,54]. Last, but not least, the interplay of the confinement of the fields and the polarization of light, allows one to control the directionality of the emission [55,56], leading to the so-called chiral quantum optics [57].…”
