Abstract: We study spontaneous photon decay into multiple photons triggered by strong non-linearities in a superconducting quantum simulator of the boundary sine-Gordon impurity model. Previously, spectroscopic signatures of photon-conversion were reported and evidenced as resonances in the many-body spectrum of these systems. Here, we report on the observation of multi-mode fluorescence of a small Josephson junction embedded in a high impedance superconducting transmission line. Measurement of the down-converted photons is achieved using state-of-the-art broadband parametric amplifiers. Photon triplet emission is explicitly demonstrated at a given frequency as the counterpart of inelastic photon decay at three-times the emission frequency. These results open exciting prospects for the burgeoning field of many-body quantum optics and offer a direct signature of the ultra-strong light-matter coupling.

Many-photon scattering and entangling in a waveguide with a {\Lambda}-type atom [55.2480439325792]
We show that after transmission of a short few-photon pulse, the final state of the atom and all the photons is a genuine multipartite entangled state belonging to the W class. The parameters of the input pulse are optimized to maximize the efficiency of three- and four-partite W-state production.

Resonant Parametric Photon Generation in Waveguide-coupled Quantum Emitter Arrays [83.88591755871734]
We have developed a theory of parametric photon generation in the waveguides coupled to arrays of quantum emitters with temporally modulated resonance frequencies. Such generation can be interpreted as a dynamical Casimir effect. We demonstrate numerically and analytically how the emission directionality and photon-photon correlations can be controlled by the phases of the modulation.

Probing many-body correlations using quantum-cascade correlation spectroscopy [0.0]
The radiative quantum cascade, i.e. the consecutive emission of photons from a ladder of energy levels, is of fundamental importance in quantum optics. Here, we use exciton polaritons to explore the cascaded emission of photons in the regime where individual transitions of the ladder are not resolved. Remarkably, the measured photon-photon correlations exhibit a strong dependence on the polariton energy, and therefore on the underlying polaritonic interaction strength.

The Origin of Antibunching in Resonance Fluorescence [0.0]
Epitaxial quantum dots have emerged as one of the best single-photon sources. One intriguing observation is the scattering of photons with subnatural linewidth from a two-level system. Here, we demonstrate that this simultaneous observation of subnatural linewidth and antibunching is not possible with simple resonant excitation.
