Abstract: In recent years, vortex light, a distinctive form of structured light, has attracted considerable attention owing to its unique properties and the rich physical phenomena arising from its interaction with matter. In this paper, we investigate the propagation dynamics of vortex beams in a symmetry-broken three-level system based on forward and backward three-wave mixing (TWM) processes. We find that both processes enable the transfer of high-gain vortex light, with the associated topological charges obeying identical algebraic relations. The forward process exhibits periodic oscillatory transmission and modulates the transverse spatial profile of the generated signal vortex field, whereas the backward process features stable transmission and produces a signal field with higher gain and improved fidelity. Under the Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) regime, the probe field detuning in both schemes has a negligible influence on the gain. Optical depth influences only the rate at which the gain approaches its maximum, while the peak value remains unchanged. These results constitute a meaningful extension of the work reported in reference [40] and may provide a feasible approach for quantum communication, quantum computation, and the generation of high-gain, high-fidelity vortex light.

Dissipative stabilization of maximal entanglement between non-identical emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
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.

Dynamical transitions from slow to fast relaxation in random open quantum systems [0.0]
We study a model in which the system Hamiltonian and its couplings to the noise are random matrices whose entries decay as power laws of distance. The steady state is always featureless, but the rate at which it is approached exhibits three phases depending on $alpha_H$ and $alpha_L$. Within perturbation theory, the phase boundaries in the $(alpha_H, alpha_L)$ plane differ for weak and strong dissipation, suggesting phase transitions as a function of noise strength.

We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.

Hyperentanglement in structured quantum light [50.591267188664666]
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.
