• Abstract summary: In the single- or few-photon regime treating the empty microcavity as an optical filter does not capture the full effect on the quantum state of the transmitted photons. We find that propagation through a strongly coupled microcavity above a certain coupling threshold enhances the entanglement entropy between the signal and idler photons.

• Abstract: Optical microcavities are often proposed as platforms for spectroscopy in the single- and few-photon regime due to strong light-matter coupling. For classical-light spectroscopies, an empty microcavity simply acts as an optical filter. However, we find that in the single- or few-photon regime treating the empty microcavity as an optical filter does not capture the full effect on the quantum state of the transmitted photons. Focusing on the case of entangled photon-pair spectroscopy, we consider how the propagation of one photon through an optical microcavity changes the joint spectrum of a frequency-entangled photon pair. Using the input-output treatment of a Dicke model, we find that propagation through a strongly coupled microcavity above a certain coupling threshold enhances the entanglement entropy between the signal and idler photons. These results show that optical microcavities are not neutral platforms for quantum-light spectroscopies and their effects must be carefully considered when using change in entanglement entropy as an observable.

  We study the single photon transport properties in periodic and position-disordered Jaynes-Cummings arrays. In the disordered case, we find that the single photon transmission curves show the disappearance of band formation. The results of this work may find application in the study of quantum many-body effects in the optical domain.

• Coherent Coupling of a Diamond Tin-Vacancy Center to a Tunable Open Microcavity [0.0]
  We present a quantum photonic interface based on a single Tin-Vacancy center in a micrometer-thin diamond membrane coupled to a tunable open microcavity. We observe a transmission dip of 50 % for low incident photon number per Purcell-reduced excited state lifetime, while the dip disappears as the emitter is saturated with higher photon number. This work establishes a versatile and tunable platform for advanced quantum optics experiments and proof-of-principle demonstrations towards quantum networking with solid-state qubits.

  We investigate the bistability in a small Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with the optical wavelength size cavity, the nonlinear Kerr medium and only a few photons, on average, excited by the external quantum field. Multiple stationary states of the FPI cavity field with different spectra are possible at realistic conditions, for example, in the FPI with the photonic crystal cavity and the semiconductor-doped glass nonlinear medium.

• Probing many-body correlations using quantum-cascade correlation spectroscopy [0.0]
  The radiative quantum cascade, i.e. the consecutive emission of photons from a ladder of energy levels, is of fundamental importance in quantum optics. Here, we use exciton polaritons to explore the cascaded emission of photons in the regime where individual transitions of the ladder are not resolved. Remarkably, the measured photon-photon correlations exhibit a strong dependence on the polariton energy, and therefore on the underlying polaritonic interaction strength.

  Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources. We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.
