• Title: Chiral dynamics with giant systems
• Authors: Yue Chang,
• Abstract summary: We explore the chiral dynamics in a parity-time-symmetric system consisting of a giant Kerr cavity nonlocally coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. By tuning the phase difference between the two coupling points to match the propagation phase at the driving frequency, chiral cavity-waveguide interactions are achieved. Non-statistical photons can be produced even in the strong dissipation regime due to the interference between reflected and transmitted photons propagating between the coupling points.

• Abstract: We explore the chiral dynamics in a parity-time-symmetric system consisting of a giant Kerr cavity nonlocally coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. By tuning the phase difference between the two coupling points to match the propagation phase at the driving frequency, chiral cavity-waveguide interactions are achieved, enabling the deterministic generation of photons with nontrivial statistics only for a single incident direction. This nontrivial-statistical photons can be produced even in the strong dissipation regime due to the interference between reflected and transmitted photons propagating between the coupling points. Our investigation encompasses a broad range of distances between the coupling points, incorporating non-Markovian effects. Notably, at a phase difference of $\pi/2$, the system's dynamics become exactly Markovian, while the output field retains non-Markovian characteristics. Under these conditions, we analyze nonreciprocal dissipative phase transitions driven by a strong external field and elucidate the influence of the non-Markovian effect. Our results offer valuable insights for the advancement of nonreciprocal photon devices and deterministic photon generations, providing a deeper understanding of dissipative phase transitions.

  We propose a setup which combines giant emitters (coupling to light at multiple points separated by wavelength distances) with nonlinear quantum optics and its correlated photons. We show that the proposed setup can provide directional quantum many-body resources, and can be configured as a building block for a chiral quantum network with correlated flying qubits'' Our findings point toward a rich landscape of tailoring multiphoton propagation and correlation properties by exploiting interference effects of giant emitters coupling to nonlinear photonic baths.

• Distinguishability and "which pathway" information in multidimensional interferometric spectroscopy with a single entangled photon-pair [0.0]
  Photon exchange-phase and degree of distinguishability have not been widely utilized in quantum-enhanced applications. We show that even at low degree entanglement, when a two-photon wave-function is coupled to matter, it is encoded with a reliable "which pathway?" information. We find that quantum-light interferometry facilitates utterly different set of time-delay variables, which are unbound by uncertainty to the inverse bandwidth of the wave-packet.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

  In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
