• Abstract: Quantum information science is driving progress in a vast number of scientific and technological areas that cover molecular spectroscopy and matter-light interactions in general. In these fields, the ability to generate quantum mechanically-entangled photons is opening avenues to explore the interaction of molecules with quantum light. This work considers an alternative way of correlating photons by including energy superpositions. We study how the multichromatic quantum superposition, or color superposition of photon-pair states, influences the optical properties of organic chromophores. This work uses electronic structure calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory, and a simple modification of the standard entangled two-photon absorption theory. Our calculations show that it is possible to substantially modify the optical absorption cross section of molecules, where constructive and destructive interferences are computed. The quantum interference effects are more pronounced than the constructive ones. These quantum effects, or related ones, could be observed in quantum spectroscopic experiments where qudit photon states are generated.

  Recent theories have laid the groundwork for understanding how quantum-optical properties affect high-field photonics. We demonstrate a new experimental approach that transduces some properties of a quantum-optical state through a strong-field nonlinearity. Our results suggest that perturbing strong-field dynamics with quantum-optical states is a viable way to coherently control the generation of these states at short wavelengths.

  We report on experiments using molecular transitions in a strongly interacting Fermi gas, directly coupling cavity photons to pairs of atoms. The dependence of the pair-polariton spectrum on interatomic interactions is universal, independent of the transition used. This represents a magnification of many-body effects by two orders of magnitude in energy.

  We use an array of superconducting qubits to engineer a nontrivial quantum metamaterial. By performing microwave spectroscopy of the fabricated array, we experimentally observe the spectrum of elementary excitations. We find not only the single-photon topological states but also the bands of exotic bound photon pairs arising due to the inherent anharmonicity of qubits.
