• Abstract: Dark states are excited quantum states that decouple from their environment in such a way that they do not emit or absorb external photons. These states are found in a variety of different open quantum systems and can be derived from the collective interactions of individual quantum emitters interacting with one another. One of the simplest model where these states exist is in a pair of dissipatively coupled harmonic oscillators described under the Bose-Hubbard model. When on-site interactions are included, these states can no longer be classified as genuine dark states since dissipation is induced in them. In this paper we study the origin of this dissipation in dark states by using weak anharmonicity as a perturbing factor. In our analysis, we find the first and second order corrections to the wavefunction and apply these corrections to the master equation in order to track the dynamics.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

• Different types of photon entanglement from a constantly driven quantum emitter inside a cavity [0.0]
  Bell states are the most prominent maximally entangled photon states. In a typical four-level emitter, like a semiconductor quantum dot, the photon states exhibit only one type of Bell state entanglement. By adding an external driving to the emitter system, also other types of Bell state entanglement are reachable without changing the polarization basis.
