• Authors: Dionisis Stefanatos and Emmanuel Paspalakis
• Abstract summary: We use time-dependent Josephson coupling to enhance unconventional photon blockade in a system of two coupled nonlinear bosonic modes. We find the optimal coupling which minimizes the two-photon occupation of one mode, while maintaining a non-zero one-photon occupation in the same mode. We numerically find lower values of the second-order correlation function obtained at earlier times than with constant coupling.

• Abstract: In this article we use time-dependent Josephson coupling to enhance unconventional photon blockade in a system of two coupled nonlinear bosonic modes which are initially loaded with weakly populated coherent states, so the evolution is restricted to the manifold of up to two field quanta. Using numerical optimal control, we find the optimal coupling which minimizes the two-photon occupation of one mode, which is actually transferred to the other, while maintains a non-zero one-photon occupation in the same mode. Moreover, we choose the continuous coupling to vanish after the transfer between the modes such that they are decoupled and one of them is left only with some one-photon population which can be observed upon its decay. We numerically find lower values of the second-order correlation function obtained at earlier times than with constant coupling, with larger one-photon populations and for longer time windows, corresponding thus to higher emission efficiency and easier detection. The presented methodology is not restricted to the system under study, but it can also be transferred to other related frameworks, to find the optimal driving fields which can improve the single-photon emission statistics from these systems.

  Two-photon states are essential for quantum technologies such as metrology, lithography, and communication.

We prove that scattering of a parity-invariant single photon on a qubit pair, combined with a properly engineered time variation of the qubit detuning, is not only feasible, but also more effective than strategies based on the relaxation of the excited states of the qubits.

We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.

  Photon correlations, as measured by Glauber's $n$-th order coherence functions, are highly sought to be minimized and/or maximized.

We show how these two approaches relate to the admixing of a coherent state with a quantum state.
