Abstract: We discuss two-photon physics, taking for illustration the particular but topical case of resonance fluorescence. We show that the basic concepts of interferences and correlations provide at the two-photon level an independent and drastically different picture than at the one-photon level, with landscapes of correlations that reveal various processes by spanning over all the possible frequencies at which the system can emit. Such landscapes typically present lines of photon bunching and circles of antibunching. The theoretical edifice to account for these features rests on two pillars: i) a theory of frequency-resolved photon correlations and ii) admixing classical and quantum fields. While experimental efforts have been to date concentrated on correlations between spectral peaks, strong correlations exist between photons emitted away from the peaks, which are accessible only through multiphoton observables. These could be exploited for both fundamental understanding of quantum-optical processes as well as applications by harnessing these unsuspected resources.

Dissipative stabilization of maximal entanglement between non-identical emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
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.

Quantum vortices of strongly interacting photons [52.131490211964014]
Vortices are hallmark of nontrivial dynamics in nonlinear physics. We report on the realization of quantum vortices resulting from a strong photon-photon interaction in a quantum nonlinear optical medium. For three photons, the formation of vortex lines and a central vortex ring attests to a genuine three-photon interaction.

Two-photon emission in detuned resonance fluorescence [0.0]
We discuss two-photon correlations from the side peaks that are formed when a two-level system emitter is driven coherently. We show that their combination leads to a neat picture compatible with perturbative two-photon scattering. This should help to control, enhance and open new regimes of multiphoton emission.

Correlated steady states and Raman lasing in continuously pumped and probed atomic ensembles [68.8204255655161]
We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

Boson bunching is not maximized by indistinguishable particles [0.0]
Boson bunching is one of the most remarkable features of quantum physics. We disproof the link between indistinguishability and bunching by exploiting a recent finding in the theory of matrix permanents. This unexpected behavior questions our understanding of multiparticle interference in the grey zone between indistinguishable bosons and classical particles.

Two-Photon Interference of Single Photons from Dissimilar Sources [0.0]
Entanglement swapping and heralding are at the heart of many protocols for distributed quantum information. We develop a theoretical description of pulsed two-photon interference of photons from dissimilar sources. We study their dependence on critical system parameters such as quantum state lifetime and frequency detuning.

Two-photon interferences of weak coherent lights [0.0]
Multiphoton interference is an important phenomenon in modern quantum mechanics and experimental quantum optics. Recently, the two-photon interference (TPI) of phase-randomized weak coherent states has played a key role in the realization of long-distance quantum communication. We experimentally examined the Hong-Ou-Mandel-type TPI of phase-randomized weak coherent pulses to compare the TPI effect with that of correlated photons.

Two-photon resonance fluorescence of two interacting non-identical quantum emitters [77.34726150561087]
We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field. We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters. This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.

Light-matter interactions near photonic Weyl points [68.8204255655161]
Weyl photons appear when two three-dimensional photonic bands with linear dispersion are degenerated at a single momentum point, labeled as Weyl point. We analyze the dynamics of a single quantum emitter coupled to a Weyl photonic bath as a function of its detuning with respect to the Weyl point.
