Creation of non-classical states of light in a chiral waveguide
arXiv:2210.09216 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.107.013717
Abstract
Creating non-classical states of light from simple quantum systems together with classical resources is a challenging problem. We show how chiral emitters under a coherent drive can generate non-classical photon states. For our analysis, we select a specific temporal mode in the transmitted light field, resulting in a coupled master equation for the relevant mode and the chiral emitters. We characterise the mode's state by its Wigner function and show that the emission from the system predominantly produces mixtures of few-photon-added coherent states. We argue that these non-classical states are experimentally accessible and show their application for quantum metrology.
