Strong antibunching photons/photon pairs emission in two atoms cavity QED system with the Van der Waals interaction

Zhouyang Yu, Jinping Xu, Chengjie Zhu +2

Weinvestigate the generation of antibunching photons and photon pairs in a two-atom cavity QED system leveraging interatomic van der Waals (vdW) interaction. We show that the vdW i…
