• Abstract summary: We propose a dynamically-dark-mode scheme to realize the reversible quantum conversion between microwave and optical photons in an electro-optomechanical (EOM) model. It is demonstrated that the scheme can induce two kinds of reversible quantum conversion between the microwave and optical fields, the conditional quantum conversion (CQC) and the entanglement-assisted quantum conversion (EAQC) It is indicated that it is possible to realize the entanglement-enhanced (or suppressed) quantum conversion through controlling the phase of the initial-state parameter.

• Abstract: We propose a dynamically-dark-mode (DDM) scheme to realize the reversible quantum conversion between microwave and optical photons in an electro-optomechanical (EOM) model. It is shown that two DDMs appear at certain times during the dynamical evolution of the EOM model. It is demonstrated that the DDMs can induce two kinds of reversible and highly efficient quantum conversion between the microwave and optical fields, the conditional quantum conversion (CQC) and the entanglement-assisted quantum conversion (EAQC). The CQC happens at the condition of vanishing of the initial-state mean value of one of the microwave and optical fields, and only depends on the coupling ratio of the system under consideration. The EAQC occurs in the presence of the initial-state entanglement between the microwave and optical fields. It is found that the EAQC can be manipulated by engineering the initial-state entanglement and the coupling ratio. It is indicated that it is possible to realize the entanglement-enhanced (or suppressed) quantum conversion through controlling the phase of the initial-state parameter. Our work highlights the power of generating reversible and highly efficient quantum conversion between microwave and optical photons by the DDMs.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters. The key resource is to harness the effective photon-photon interaction induced by the chiral coupling of the emitter array to two waveguide modes. We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.

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.
