- Abstract: Parity-time (PT) symmetry in a non-Hermitian framework can be harnessed for numerous applications in optics such as laser mode selection, non-reciprocal light propagation, polaritonic optical switches, and enhanced sensing. Here we show a zero-threshold Raman laser can be achieved in an anisotropic optical microcavity in the PT-symmetry broken phase via polarization selective optical pumping. A loss-gain mechanism between two polarized Stokes modes arises naturally via polarization dependent stimulated scattering and anisotropic Raman gain of the active layered material inside the microcavity. A microscopic theory of stimulated Raman process in anisotropic microcavity successfully explains our results at various temperatures and enabled us to predict the parameters of a proposed quantum PT-symmetric Hamiltonian. Our realization of the zero-threshold Raman laser and the proposed theory of stimulated Raman scattering in anisotropic microcavity can lead to future development of novel technologies such as efficient quantum frequency converters for applications in quantum photonics and information.

We design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters.
The key resource is to harness the effective photon-photon interaction induced by the chiral coupling of the emitter array to two waveguide modes.
We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.
