- Authors: Jun Li, Can-ming Hu, Yaping Yang
- Abstract summary: We theoretically put forth a quantum Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-type chain designed to greatly enhance single-photon blockade (single-PB) effect with topological protection.
The PB effect is robust to local perturbations in cavity-qubit coupling and qubit frequency, benefitting from topological protection.

- Abstract: Quantum technologies, holding the promise of exponentially superior
performance than their classical counterparts for certain tasks, have
consistently encountered challenges, including instability in quantum light
sources, quantum decoherence and vulnerability to losses that topological
photonics happens to adeptly address. Here, we theoretically put forth a
quantum Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-type chain designed to greatly enhance
single-photon blockade (single-PB) effect with topological protection. By
designing the deliberate coupling strengths, the quantum-level lattices take
the form of a one-dimensional array with a topological edge state in
single-excitation space and a two-dimensional square breathing lattice with
topological corner states in two-excitation space, resulting in enhanced
single-photon excitation and the suppression of two-photon transitions.
Therefore the second-order correlation function is diminished by up to two
orders of magnitude at the cavity resonance frequency, accompanied by stronger
brightness.Furthermore, the PB effect is robust to local perturbations in
cavity-qubit coupling and qubit frequency, benefitting from topological
protection.

Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement.
We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics.
They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features.
Here, we protect these non-Gaussian features by compressing the phase-space distribution of a cat state.
