Abstract

We theoretically investigate photonic entanglement generated by homodyning resonance fluorescence from a two-level emitter with a phase-locked laser field. Under weak excitation, increasing the relative laser-field amplitude produces crossovers from time-bin to energy--time and back to time-bin entanglement. The intermediate energy--time regime occurs near amplitude matching, where destructive interference suppresses the single-photon component, allowing the two-photon contributions to dominate the coincidence signal. We evaluate the resulting photon statistics and first-order coherence and characterize the entanglement through violations of the CHSH Bell inequality in a Franson interferometer. This scheme provides a route to controlling photonic entanglement through linear optics and coherent interference.

Simulation of topological superconductors and their competing orders using photon-mediated interactions

Realizing and controlling the unconventional pairing featured by topological superconductors remains a central challenge. We introduce a cavity QED quantum simulator that engineers competing chiral $p_x+ip_y$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}+id_{xy}$ orders by tailoring cavity-mediated couplings between atomic pseudospins that emulate momentum-dependent pairing channels. The desired spatially inhomogeneous cavity-mediated couplings can be engineered in a 2D optical lattice using incommensurate cavity-lattice wavelengths naturally occurring in cavity QED systems. This minimal and fully tunable platform enables controlled state preparation and continuous measurement of superconducting order parameters. To probe this competition, the platform enables selective excitation and direct time-domain detection of Bardasis-Schrieffer modes---collective excitations of the subdominant pairing channel. The same competing channel can have an even stronger impact out of equilibrium, where a sudden quench can drive its growth and abruptly reshape the dominant superconducting order, despite the stability of the dominant order in equilibrium. Together, these results establish cavity QED as a controlled setting for revealing hidden competing orders and exploring nonlinear dynamics of topological superconductivity that remain elusive in solid-state and ultracold-atom systems.

Time-Rescaled STIRAP Enables Compact Cascaded Frequency Conversion

In this letter we explore how full frequency conversion can be performed in shorter optical devices by using a STIRAP-like protocol modified by the time rescaling shortcut to adiabaticity. We first show a detailed, step-by-step process of how the coupled equations for two simultaneous three-wave mixing processes can be written in terms of a STIRAP-like system. From the properties of the STIRAP protocol, we know that the ensuing process will result in robust conversion, but require long propagation distances inside the bulk crystal or waveguide. We then apply the time rescaling shortcut to adiabaticty in the conversion process to create a TR-STIRAP protocol, showing that full and robust conversion is also obtained, but at a fraction of the propagation distance. We also show how the original shaping of the coupling coefficients required by the TR-STIRAP can be approximated by Gaussian functions with high conversion fidelity, thus simplifying the experimental implementation. Finally, a possible application of the new protocol is discussed in the context of single-photon detection in the MIR.

Implementation of non-local arbitrary two-qubit controlled gates via geometric quantum computation with Rydberg anti-blockade

In the context of Rydberg anti-blockade, this paper proposes a new scheme for a high-fidelity controlled-unitary gate based on non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation. Under specific detuning and interaction conditions, the scheme achieves a suitable evolution path for non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation through reverse engineering of pulse parameters. This scheme can implement arbitrary two-qubit controlled gates with favorable robustness. We also evaluate the effects of spontaneous emission and laser intensity errors on the fidelity; numerical simulations show that the geometric gate scheme still exhibits excellent performance under these errors. Furthermore, we extend the scheme to non-local gates via entanglement transfer and quantum teleportation techniques, and demonstrate its application in the mutual conversion among four-qubit entangled states (GHZ, cluster, and W states). This finding indicates the potential applicability of our scheme to complex quantum information processing tasks.
