Title: Fast Optomechanical Photon Blockade
Authors: Yuxun Ling and Sofia Qvarfort and Florian Mintert
Abstract summary: The photon blockade effect is commonly exploited in the development of single-photon sources. Here we derive a control scheme that exploits destructive interference of Fock state amplitudes of more than one photon. The resulting preparation time for photon-blockaded quantum states is limited only by the optomechanical interaction strength.

Abstract: The photon blockade effect is commonly exploited in the development of single-photon sources. While the photon blockade effect could be used to prepare high-fidelity single-photon states in idealized regimes, practical implementations in optomechanical systems suffer from an interplay of competing processes. Here we derive a control scheme that exploits destructive interference of Fock state amplitudes of more than one photon. The resulting preparation time for photon-blockaded quantum states is limited only by the optomechanical interaction strength and can thus be orders of magnitude shorter than in existing schemes that achieve photon-blockaded state in the steady state.

Quantum vortices of strongly interacting photons [52.131490211964014]
Vortices are hallmark of nontrivial dynamics in nonlinear physics. We report on the realization of quantum vortices resulting from a strong photon-photon interaction in a quantum nonlinear optical medium. For three photons, the formation of vortex lines and a central vortex ring attests to a genuine three-photon interaction.

Strong photon antibunching effect in a double cavity optomechanical system with intracavity squeezed light [0.0]
We study the behaviour of the second-order correlation function in a double cavity optomechanical system. For suitable values of optomechanical coupling strength, the system can exhibit a very strong photon antibunching effect. Our study can be also used for the generation of single photon in coupled nonlinear optomechanical systems.

Tunneling times of single photons [0.0]
Single photons have infinite tails, and the question of causality becomes meaningless. We solve this problem by introducing strictly localized states close to single photons. These states can be arbitrarily close to single photons while demonstrating causality for their leading edge.
