- Abstract: We present an unconventional mechanism for quantum nonlinearity in a system comprising of a V-type quantum emitter (QE) and two Fabry-Perot cavities. The two transitions of the V-type QE are effectively coupled with two independent cavity modes. The system exhibits a strong quantum nonlinear control in the transmission even at the single-photon level, which we refer to as quantum cross nonlinearity. The underlying physics can be understood as quantum competition between the two transitions of the QE sharing a common ground state. By leveraging this quantum cross nonlinearity, we further show photon-number-resolving quantum nondestructive detection. Owing to the widespread nature of this V-type configuration, our approach can be readily extended to diverse cavity quantum electrodynamic systems beyond the realm of optics, encompassing, e.g., microwave photons and acoustic wave phonons. This versatility may facilitate numerous unique applications for quantum information processing.

We present an especially simple concept for deterministically generating and stabilizing important quantum states of light.
We show how by considering either a nonlinear cavity with frequency-dependent outcoupling, or a chain of nonlinear waveguides, one can "filter" out all but a periodic ladder of photon number components of a density matrix.
In these types of filter cavities, Glauber coherent states will deterministically evolve into Schrodinger cat states of a desired order.
