- Abstract summary: We study the statistics of the tens-of-photon states scattered by optical cavities (OCs), two-level atoms (TLAs), and Jaynes-Cummings emitters (JCEs) in waveguide-QED systems.
We prove that OCs do not change the statistics of the incident photon states, being independent of the photon number.
For the TLAs and JCEs, the photon number strongly impacts the photon bunching and anti-bunching behaviors.

- Abstract: Manipulating photon states serves as a primary requirement for various
optical devices and is of high relevance for quantum information technology.
Nevertheless, the fundamental theoretical framework for tens-of-photon states
has not been established. This study successfully establishes the
matrix-product-state theory to explore the statistics of the tens-of-photon
states scattered by optical cavities (OCs), two-level atoms (TLAs), and
Jaynes-Cummings emitters (JCEs) in waveguide-QED systems. Taking 10-photon
states as an example, we reveal some novel physical results that differ from
those for few-photon cases. We verify that OCs do not change the statistics of
the incident photon states, being independent of the photon number. However,
for the TLAs and JCEs, the photon number strongly impacts the photon bunching
and anti-bunching behaviors. As the photon number increases, there exists a
maximum strength for the photon-photon correlation induced by the JCE.
Especially, the scattered waves by the TLA (or JCE) exhibit extremely different
statistics behaviors for the 10-photon cases from those for the bi-photon.
These distinguishable conclusions for the tens-of-photon states and the
matrix-product-state theory pave the way for the multi-photon manipulation.

No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory.
Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons.
This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

Photonic quantum technology provides a viable route to quantum communication, quantum simulation, and quantum information processing.
Recent progress has seen the realisation of boson sampling using 20 single-photons and quantum key distribution over hundreds of kilometres.
For applications, a significant roadblock is the poor quantum coherence upon interfering single photons created by independent quantum dots.
Here, we demonstrate two-photon interference with near-unity visibility ($93.0pm0.8$)% using photons from two completely separate GaAs quantum dots.
