• Abstract summary: We propose a novel scheme for asymmetric light diffraction of a weak probe field into a one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) lattice occupied with cold atoms. Our study suggests the proposed scheme is capable of forming an asymmetric diffraction as a result of inducing optical parity-time symmetry in both 1D and 2D lattices.

• Abstract: We propose a novel scheme for asymmetric light diffraction of a weak probe field into a one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) lattice occupied with cold atoms. The atoms are driven into the double lambda-type configuration by a standing wave, two coupling laser fields and a probe. Our study suggests the proposed scheme is capable of forming an asymmetric diffraction as a result of inducing optical parity-time symmetry in both 1D and 2D lattices. Moreover it is demonstrated that the asymmetric pattern of diffraction can be dynamically manipulated by means of adjusting the relative phase. Furthermore it is revealed that in the case of 1D lattice (grating), variation of the intensities of the coupling fields has a significant impact on the intensity of diffraction orders in the uneven distribution of diffraction.

  We study single-photon scattering in a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) waveguide coupled to either one or two two-level giant atoms. We find that a single photon in the SSH waveguide can be completely reflected or transmitted by choosing proper coupling configurations. This work will inspire the development of controllable single-photon devices based on the giant-atom topological-waveguide-QED systems.

Our method extends to other systems with separable spectra, facilitates experimental fabrication, and may increase robustness to fabrication imperfections in large-scale photonic circuits.

We show that totally destructive interference does not require mutual indistinguishability between all, but only between symmetrically paired particles.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
