strongly correlated few-photon propagation in feedforward waveguide-atomic networks
ORAL
Abstract
We provide a systematic theoretical formalism to study strongly correlated few-photon transport in feedforward waveguide-atomic networks.
As an illustrative example, we consider a "quantum Galton board" model and its generalizations, which is inspired by the discrete-time quantum walks.
We show that a few-photon input state can undergo strongly correlated transport in this feedforward network, and observe two-photon bound states appearing in distinct pairs of output channels of the network. Our model and formalism can be extended to other interesting networks such as quantum neural nets, and reveals a wide class of models for the study of strongly correlated many-body states of light.
