• Abstract: Photon correlation is at the heart of quantum optics and has important applications in quantum technologies. Here we propose a universally applicable mechanism that can generate the superbunching light with ultrastrong second-order and higher-order correlations hitherto unreachable. This mechanism arises from the combined effect of electron shelving and time integral of fluorescence based on a cascaded quantum system comprising an emitter and a filter or a cavity QED system, and has high experimental feasibility according to current experimental techniques. Besides, both the correlation degrees and the frequency of the light can be flexibly varied over broad ranges. Both the research and technological applications on strong correlations can be extensively facilitated due to this readily accessible and manipulated mechanism for generating photon correlation.

• High harmonic generation driven by quantum light [0.0]
  High harmonic generation (HHG) is an extreme nonlinear process where intense pulses of light drive matter to emit high harmonics of the driving frequency. We show that the defining spectral characteristics of HG, such as the plateau and cutoff, are sensitive to the photon statistics of the driving light. We develop the theory of extreme nonlinear optics driven by squeezed light, and more generally by arbitrary quantum states of light.

We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.

  We study how a large, inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of solid-state emitters coupled with high cooperativity to a nanophotonic resonator behaves under strong excitation. We discover a sharp, collectively induced transparency (CIT) in the cavity reflection spectrum, resulting from quantum interference and collective response induced by the interplay between driven inhomogeneous emitters and cavity photons. These phenomena in the many-body cQED regime enable new mechanisms for achieving slow light and frequency referencing, pave a way towards solid-state superradiant lasers and inform the development of ensemble-based quantum interconnects.
