- Abstract summary: Photon correlations, as measured by Glauber's $n$-th order coherence functions, are highly sought to be minimized and/or maximized.
In systems that are coherently driven, so-called blockades can give rise to strong correlations according to two scenarios.
We show how these two approaches relate to the admixing of a coherent state with a quantum state.

- Abstract: Photon correlations, as measured by Glauber's $n$-th order coherence
functions $g^{(n)}$, are highly sought to be minimized and/or maximized. In
systems that are coherently driven, so-called blockades can give rise to strong
correlations according to two scenarios based on level-repulsion (conventional
blockade) or interferences (unconventional blockade). Here we show how these
two approaches relate to the admixing of a coherent state with a quantum state
such as a squeezed state for the simplest and most recurrent case. The emission
from a variety of systems, such as resonance fluorescence, the Jaynes-Cummings
model or microcavity polaritons, as a few examples of a large family of quantum
optical sources, are shown to be particular cases of such admixtures, that can
further be doctored-up externally by adding an amplitude- and phase-controlled
coherent field with the effect of tuning the photon statistics from exactly
zero to infinity. We show how such an understanding also allows to classify
photon statistics throughout platforms according to conventional and
unconventional features, with the effect of optimizing the correlations and
with possible spectroscopic applications. In particular, we show how
configurations that can realize simultaneously conventional and unconventional
antibunching bring the best of both worlds: huge antibunching (unconventional)
with large populations and being robust to dephasing (conventional).

Entangled photons propagate through a complex medium such as a biological tissue or a turbulent atmosphere.
Using wavefront shaping to compensate for the scattering and retrieve the two-photon correlations is challenging due to the low signal-to-noise ratio.
We propose and demonstrate a new feedback mechanism that is inspired by Klyshko's advanced wave picture.

Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement.
We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed.
Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state.
We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator.
We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters.
This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.
