Title: Non-Hermitian zero mode laser in a nanophotonic trimer
Authors: Kaiwen Ji, Bruno Garbin, Melissa Hedir, Juan A. Levenson, and Alejandro Yacomotti
Abstract summary: We report on the direct observation of a lasing zero mode in a non-Hermitian three coupled nanocavity array. We show efficient excitation for nearly equal pump power in the two extreme cavities. The realization of zero mode lasing in large arrays of coupled nanolasers has potential applications in laser-mode engineering.

Abstract: Symmetry-protected zero modes in arrays of coupled optical elements have attracted considerable attention because they are expected to be robust against coupling disorders. In the Hermitian limit, zero modes are dark ones, i.e. the intensity in one sublattice vanishes; yet, in a non-Hermitian counterpart, zero modes can be bright and feature {\pi}/2 phase difference between sublattices. In this work, we report on the direct observation of a lasing zero mode in a non-Hermitian three coupled nanocavity array. We show efficient excitation for nearly equal pump power in the two extreme cavities. Furthermore, its efficiency can be dynamically controlled by pumping the center cavity. The realization of zero mode lasing in large arrays of coupled nanolasers has potential applications in laser-mode engineering and it opens up promising avenues in optical computing.

Experimental realization of deterministic and selective photon addition in a bosonic mode assisted by an ancillary qubit [50.591267188664666]
Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss. Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states. Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

On-chip single-photon subtraction by individual silicon vacancy centers in a laser-written diamond waveguide [48.7576911714538]
Laser-written diamond photonics offers three-dimensional fabrication capabilities and large mode-field diameters matched to fiber optic technology. To realize large cooperativities, we combine excitation of single shallow-implanted silicon vacancy centers via large numerical aperture optics. We demonstrate single-emitter extinction measurements with a cooperativity of 0.153 and a beta factor of 13% yielding 15.3% as lower bound for the quantum efficiency of a single emitter.
