Loss-aware pulse sequence optimization for generating photonic Fock states

Benjamin Stodd, Priyanshu Tiwari, René Sondenheimer +2

We investigate the preparation of frequency-tunable photonic Fock states in a hybrid cavity system consisting of a nonlinear medium and a two-level system. Employing a gradient-bas…
