Authors: Enrico Russo, Alberto Mercurio, Fabio Mauceri, Rosario Lo Franco, Franco Nori, Salvatore Savasta, and Vincenzo Macr\'i
Abstract summary: We study two cavities separated by a vibrating two-sided perfect mirror and show that, within currently available experimental parameters, this system displays photon-pair hopping. In particular, the two-photon hopping is not due to tunneling, but rather to higher order resonant processes.

Abstract: The hopping mechanism plays a key role in collective phenomena emerging in many-body physics. The ability to create and control systems that display this feature is important for next generation quantum technologies. Here we study two cavities separated by a vibrating two-sided perfect mirror and show that, within currently available experimental parameters, this system displays photon-pair hopping between the two electromagnetic resonators. In particular, the two-photon hopping is not due to tunneling, but rather to higher order resonant processes. Starting from the classical problem, where the vibrating mirror perfectly separates the two sides of the cavity, we quantize the system and then the two sides can interact. This opens the possibility to investigate a new mechanism of photon-pair propagation in optomechanical lattices.

Dissipative stabilization of maximal entanglement between non-identical emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
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.

Probing the symmetry breaking of a light--matter system by an ancillary qubit [50.591267188664666]
Hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong, and even more in the deep-strong, coupling regimes can exhibit exotic physical phenomena. We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator. This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime.

Optomechanical strong coupling between a single cavity photon and a single atom [0.0]
Single atoms coupled to a cavity offer unique opportunities as quantum optomechanical devices because of their small mass and strong interaction with light. We propose an alternative route in such systems, which relies on the coupling of atomic motion to the much narrower cavity-dressed atomic resonance frequency. We analyze the prominent observable features of this optomechanical strong coupling, which include a per-photon motional heating that is significantly larger than the single-photon recoil energy.

We demonstrate a previously unknown two-photon effect in a discrete-time quantum walk. Two identical bosons with no mutual interactions can remain clustered together. The two photons move in the same direction at each step due to a two-photon quantum interference phenomenon.
