- Abstract summary: We study a photonic lattice system composed of a linear array of driven-dissipative coupled cavities.
Under weak on-site interactions, photons mostly Bose condense into a selected, single-particle Wannier-Stark state.
As the strength of the photon-photon interactions increase, a non-stationary regime emerges which is marked surprisingly by periodic Bloch-type oscillations.

- Abstract: Strongly coupled light-matter systems can exhibit nonequilibrium collective phenomena due to loss and gain processes on the one hand and effective photon-photon interactions on the other hand. Here we study a photonic lattice system composed of a linear array of driven-dissipative coupled cavities (or cavity modes) with linearly increasing resonance frequencies across the lattice. The model amounts to a driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard model in a tilted potential without the particle-conservation constraint. We predict a diverse range of stationary and non-stationary states resulted from the interplay of the tilt, tunneling, on-site interactions, and the loss and gain processes. Our key finding is that, under weak on-site interactions, photons mostly Bose condense into a selected, single-particle Wannier-Stark state, instead of exhibiting expected Bloch oscillations. As the strength of the photon-photon interactions increase, a non-stationary regime emerges which is marked surprisingly by periodic Bloch-type oscillations. These intriguing, nontrivial effects are a direct consequence of the driven-dissipative nature of the system.

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.
