• Abstract: We propose a novel integrated structure for single photon generation at room temperature based on a molecular optomechanics system in a hybrid photonic-plasmonic cavity. The proposed structure comprises a single molecule within a plasmonic cavity, coupled to a 2D photonic crystal resonator. In this paper, we theoretically identify the ability of the scheme through calculation second order correlation function g^2 (0) for four different coupling regimes. We demonstrate the quantum paths and the destructive interference mechanism through the selection of efficient and preferred basis. Furthermore, we find that the unconventional photon blockade effects can occurs in the weak molecular optomechanics coupling. This structure holds the potential to serve as an integrated single-photon source for quantum networks at room temperature.

  We study single-photon scattering in a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) waveguide coupled to either one or two two-level giant atoms. We find that a single photon in the SSH waveguide can be completely reflected or transmitted by choosing proper coupling configurations. This work will inspire the development of controllable single-photon devices based on the giant-atom topological-waveguide-QED systems.

  coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

  The energy of a movable wall of a cavity confining a quantum field can be converted into quanta of the field itself. We employ quantum thermodynamics to show that this phenomenon can be employed as a tool to cool down the wall. We show how to employ one laser drive to cool the entire system including the case when it is composed of other subsystems.

  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.

  We propose a new approach to realize the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian using low energy free-electrons coupled to dielectric microcavities. Our approach utilizes quantum recoil, which causes a large detuning that inhibits the emission of multiple consecutive photons. We show that this approach can be used for generation of single photons with unity efficiency and high fidelity.

• Optomechanical strong coupling between a single cavity photon and a single atom [0.0]
  Single atoms coupled to a cavity offer unique opportunities as quantum optomechanical devices because of their small mass and strong interaction with light. We propose an alternative route in such systems, which relies on the coupling of atomic motion to the much narrower cavity-dressed atomic resonance frequency. We analyze the prominent observable features of this optomechanical strong coupling, which include a per-photon motional heating that is significantly larger than the single-photon recoil energy.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
