How single-photon nonlinearity is quenched with multiple quantum emitters: Quantum Zeno effect in collective interactions with $\Lambda$-level atoms

Alexander N. Poddubny, Serge Rosenblum, Barak Dayan

Single-photon nonlinearity, namely the change in the response of the system as the result of the interaction with a single photon, is generally considered an inherent property of a…
