Abstract: Single-photon sources are essential for testing fundamental physics and for the development of quantum technologies. In this work, we theoretically investigate a single-photon source based on a two-photon Jaynes-Cummings system, where the cavity works as the quantum emitter rather than the atom. This role reversal provides certain advantages, such as robustness against atomic losses, as the atom remains in its ground state throughout the entire dynamics. This provides higher efficiency, purity, and indistinguishability compared to sources based on the usual JC model under the same parameter conditions in both models. Another advantage of this system is the possibility of direct conversion of a coherent excitation pulse with one photon on average to a single-photon pulse with efficiency, purity, and indistinguishability above $90\%$. Since the entire excitation pulse is consumed in the generation of a single photon, the system also minimizes energy waste. The potential for implementing the two-photon JC model across different platforms expands the possibilities for controlled single-photon generation in applications in quantum information processing and computation.

Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources. 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.

Scalable multiphoton generation from cavity-synchronized single-photon sources [5.187669487527287]
Design relies on multiple single-photon sources, each coupled to a waveguide, and all of them interact with a common cavity mode. For a state-of-the-art circuit QED implementation, this scheme supports the creation of single photons with purity, indistinguishability, and efficiency of $99%$ at rates of $sim $MHz. This is orders of magnitude more efficient than previous demultiplexed sources for boson sampling and enables the realization of deterministic multi-photon sources and scalable quantum information processing with photons.
