• Abstract: In this paper, we investigate how to generate coherent squeezed like light using a nonlinear photonic crystal. Because the photonic crystal reduces the group velocity of the incident light, if it is composed of a material with a second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility $\chi^{(2)}$, the interaction between the nonlinear material and the light passing through it strengthens and the quantum state of the emitted light is largely squeezed. Thus, we can generate a coherent squeezed like light with a resonating cavity in which the nonlinear photonic crystal is placed. This coherent squeezed like state is defined with the Lie-Trotter product formula and its mathematical expression is different from those of conventional coherent squeezed states. We show that we can obtain this coherent squeezed like state with a squeezing level $15.9$ dB practically by adjusting physical parameters for our proposed method. Feeding the squeezed light whose average number of photons is given by one or two into a beam splitter and splitting the flow of the squeezed light into a pair of entangled light beams, we estimate their entanglement quantitatively. This paper is a sequel to H. Azuma, J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 55, 315106 (2022).

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

  We use intuition to predict the formation of non-trivial photonic steady-states in one and two dimensions. We show that subradiant emitter configurations are linked to the emergence of steady-state light-localization in the driven-dissipative setting. These results shed light on the recently reported optically-defined cavities in polaritonic lattices.
