摘要/Abstract

摘要： The generation of nonclassical photons via quantum light-matter interactions is of fundamental importance in quantum optics. Here we investigate steady-state two-photon correlation function and photon squeezing in an open anisotropic Rabi lattice by applying quantum dressed master equation embedded with the mean-field approximation. The expanded antibunching effect of photons due to anisotropic qubit-photon interaction, is strongly suppressed by including inter-site photon tunneling, whereas the giant photon bunching keeps robust with weak inter-site photon tunneling strength. The microscopic processes for photon antibunching and bunching effects are presented based on incoherent transitions between eigenstates. The photon squeezing is also analyzed under the influences of qubit-photon coupling and anisotropic factor. The quadrature squeezing shows persistency by tuning on the inter-site photon tunneling, and becomes dramatically pronounced at the small anisotropic factor. Moreover, the increasing number of qubits significantly enhances quadrature squeezing with strong qubit-photon interaction. We hope such results may provide physical insights into efficient generation and manipulation of nonclassical features of photons in quantum light-matter interacting lattice systems.
