• Abstract summary: We consider wave mixing under the irradiation of a single qubit by two photon fields. The first signal is a classical monochromatic drive, while the second one is a nonclassical light. The mixing of classical and nonclassical photon fields gives rise to side peaks due to the elastic multiphoton scattering.

• Abstract: We theoretically consider wave mixing under the irradiation of a single qubit by two photon fields. The first signal is a classical monochromatic drive, while the second one is a nonclassical light. Particularly, we address two examples of a nonclassical light: (i) a broadband squeezed light and (ii) a periodically excited quantum superposition of Fock states with 0 and 1 photons. The mixing of classical and nonclassical photon fields gives rise to side peaks due to the elastic multiphoton scattering. We show that side peaks structure is distinct from the situation when two classical fields are mixed. The most striking feature is that some peaks are absent. The analysis of peak amplitudes can be used to probe photon statistics in the nonclassical mode.

• Quantum Decay of an Optical Soliton [0.0]
  We show that due to quantum mechanical effects, an optical soliton that is initially in a classical soliton coherent state will shed photons into the continuum and hence decay. We compute the power spectrum for the continuum radiation and find a narrow band that is localized about the initial soliton momentum with a cut-off that is inversely proportional to the initial soliton width.

  Boson bunching is one of the most remarkable features of quantum physics. We disproof the link between indistinguishability and bunching by exploiting a recent finding in the theory of matrix permanents.

Low photon numbers reveal the granular structure of light, leading to a reduced visibility since Welcher-Weg information is encoded into the field.
