“…The nonlinearity of atomic system would induce photon-photon correlations, while photon-photon correlations induced tunneling or blocking of photons would affect transmission and reflection of photons [35][36][37][38]. Therefore, a clear understanding of the nature of photon-photon correlations is crucial to figure out how various quantum devices work, such as a switchable mirror [39] or a single-photon router [40]. The fewphoton scattering wavefunctions exhibit a common structure: the two-particle plane wave with momenta of photons rearranged and bound state.…”
