Abstract: We propose a scheme to generate and manipulate nonreciprocal photon blockade effect in an asymmetrical Fabry-P\'{e}rot cavity, which consists of a single two-level atom and a second-order nonlinear medium. By utilizing the intrinsic spatial asymmetry of cavity and applying a parametric amplification pumping laser to the nonlinear medium, we can realize direction-dependent single-photon and two-photon blockade effects. For nonreciprocal single-photon blockade, our proposal is robust across a wide range of parameters, such as the cavity or atomic detuning, coupling strength, and atomic decay. Within similar parameter ranges, nonreciprocal two-photon blockade can be achieved and modulated by finely adjusting the parametric amplification pumping. Our project offers a feasible access to generating high-quality and tunable nonreciprocal single/two-photon source and paves a new avenue for investigating the nonreciprocity of photon quantum statistical properties.

Passive and Deterministic Controlled-phase Gate for Single-photon Wavepackets Based on Time-reversal Symmetric Photon Transport [0.6813925418351434]
The proposed gate is rooted in the concept of time-reversal symmetric photon transport. It can circumvent the longstanding issue of wavepacket distortion inherent in photonic phase gates employing nonlinear media. The gate fidelity can exceed 99% for a node with only four cavities for both single-photon and two-photon operations.

Engineering the impact of phonon dephasing on the coherence of a WSe$_{2}$ single-photon source via cavity quantum electrodynamics [36.88715167286119]
Emitter dephasing is one of the key issues in the performance of solid-state single photon sources. We show that it is possible to tune and engineer the coherence of photons emitted from a single WSe$$ monolayer dot via selectively coupling it to a spectral cavity resonance.

Nonlinear optical processes in centrosymmetric systems by strong-coupling-induced symmetry breaking [0.0]
Inversion symmetry prevents nonlinear optical responses mediated by even-order susceptibilities in material systems for applications in nanophotonics. Here, we demonstrate induced nonlinear optical processes, namely second- and fourth-harmonic generation that are naturally forbidden in an inversion system. Our work constitutes a step forward in the direction of realizing physically forbidden nonlinear optical processes in centrosymmetric materials widely adopted for applications in integrated photonics.

Observation-dependent suppression and enhancement of two-photon coincidences by tailored losses [68.8204255655161]
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.

Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
