- Abstract: Entangled photons exhibit non-classical light-matter interactions that create
new opportunities in materials and molecular science. For example, in entangled
two-photon absorption, the intensity-dependence scales linearly as if only one
photon was present. The entangled two-photon absorption cross section
approaches but does not match the one-photon absorption cross section. The
entangled two photon cross section also does not follow classical two photon
molecular design motifs. Questions such as these seed the rich but nascent
field of entangled light-matter interactions. In this perspective, we use the
experimental developments in entangled photon spectroscopy to outline the
current status of the field. Now that the fundamental tools are outlined, it is
time to start the exploration of how materials, molecules, and devices can
control or utilize interactions with entangled photons.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

We present a tutorial on the phenomenon of induced coherence without induced emission.
It is based on a striking effect where two nonlinear crystals, by sharing a coherent pump and one of two output beams each, can induce correlations between the other two individual, non-interacting beams.
This can be thought of as a type of quantum-erasure effect, where the welcher-weg'' (which-way) or in this case which-source'' information is erased when the shared beams are aligned.
