• Abstract: We derive photon counting statistics for an output field of a single-photon wave packet interacting with a quantum system (e.g. a quantum harmonic oscillator or a two-level atom). We determine the exclusive probability densities for the output field by making use of quantum filtering theory. The quantum trajectories for continuous in time measurements of the output field (reflected and transmitted), are determined starting from a collision model and difference filtering equations. We provide analytical formulae for quantum trajectories associated with a two-dimensional stochastic counting process, we describe their structure, and give a physical interpretation to them. Moreover, we provide analytical expressions for probability densities for the times of successive photon detections for a single-photon field scattered on a two-level atom, for an arbitrary photon profile and any initial state of the atom.

  We experimentally generate entangled photonic modes by continuously exciting a quantum emitter, a superconducting qubit, with a coherent drive. We show that entanglement is generated between modes extracted from the two sidebands of the resonance fluorescence spectrum. Our approach can be utilized to distribute entanglement at a high rate in various physical platforms.

  In our common sense, the wave and particle properties of a quantum object are inseparable. In this study, we put forward a feasible scheme to spatially separate the wave and particle attributes of two entangled photons. Our scheme also guarantees that the observation of wave and particle properties of the two entangled photons always obey the Bohr's complementarity principle.

  We investigate theoretically the statistics of photons emitted from a microwave cavity driven resonantly by an external field. We employ a Lindblad master equation dressed with counting fields to obtain the generating function of the photon emission statistics. In the long-time limit, we analyze the factorial cumulants of the photon emission statistics and the large-deviation statistics of the emission currents.
