High-purity fluorescence photon bundle emission from two separate emitters

We propose a scheme for generating high-purity fluorescence two-photon bundles from two spatially separate two-level emitters, whose correlated excitation is mediated by a strongly driven auxiliary emitter. Unlike bosonic-mode-based approaches, the finite excitation space of the two target emitters intrinsically excludes higher-excitation manifolds, and thus eliminates impurity photons associated with undesired higher-excitation states. We further analytically characterize the residual population of off-resonant single-excitation states and show that suppressing the corresponding leakage improves photon bundle purity. Our scheme offers a feasible pathway for constructing high-purity quantum light sources with promising applications in quantum information processing.

Enhanced two-photon sources in a cavity-coupled two-atom system

We propose a component-selective scheme for improving two-photon sources in a cavity-coupled two-atom system, where a single cavity mode interacts with two two-level atoms driven by phase-controlled classical fields of the same frequency. By controlling the atomic detunings and driving phase, the system can be tailored toward optimized cavity-field two-photon blockade or strongly correlated fluorescence photon-pair emission. When the two-cavity-photon component is enhanced, the cavity field exhibits optimized two-photon blockade with simultaneous suppression of unwanted one- and three-photon components at a comparable two-photon population. In another parameter regime, strongly correlated fluorescence photon pairs can also be generated from the two atoms by selecting the double-atomic-excitation component in the same two-excitation manifold. This approach provides a route toward high-quality and versatile two-photon sources, with potential applications in few-photon quantum optics and quantum information processing.

Chiral interaction enhanced magnon bundle emission

In this paper, we suggest a chiral interaction scheme to enhance magnon bundle emission by placing a qubit and a magnon into a cascaded-cavity setup, respectively. It is found that the unidirectional interaction prolongs the lifetime of the target excited state, thereby suppressing the magnon re-excitation and promoting both the average purity and number of two-magnon bundles. Consequently, the chiral interaction not only offers directional control but also improves the quality of the multi-magnon source, which may find potential applications in quantum information processing.

Dissipative Time Quasicrystals from Multilevel Interference

Boundary time crystals exhibit spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry through persistent periodic oscillations in driven-dissipative many-body systems. Here, we show that multilevel interference provides a natural route beyond periodic order, enabling dissipative time quasicrystals without externally imposed quasiperiodic driving. We consider a collectively driven-dissipative four-level ensemble with two degenerate excited states and two degenerate ground states. In the thermodynamic limit, the exact mean-field dynamics reduces to an irrational flow on a two-dimensional torus, yielding quasiperiodic order parameters with discrete spectra generated by two incommensurate fundamental frequencies. Vanishing maximal Lyapunov exponents demonstrate that the nonlinear self-consistent dynamics remains nonchaotic. Our results establish a minimal interference-induced mechanism for time-quasiperiodic order and open a route toward higher-dimensional quasiperiodic dynamics in multilevel systems.

Multiensemble Superradiance for Distributed Quantum Sensing

Multiensemble superradiance extends Dicke superradiance to multiple ensembles and supports dark states whose properties depend on the initial state. In the large-\(N\) limit, we derive analytical covariance matrices for these dark states, revealing inter-ensemble entanglement that enhances quantum metrology. The minimum eigenvalue, determined by the curvature of the superradiance potential, corresponds to the optimal multiparameter spin-squeezing coefficient, which is given by the \emph{Rayleigh quotient} of the spin-squeezing matrix, linking metrological sensitivity to the geometric structure of the underlying dynamics. The multiparameter squeezing coefficient provides a variational framework for optimizing metrological performance. These results enable optimal estimation of arbitrary linear combinations of multiple parameters, offering a concrete protocol for distributed quantum sensing and a promising route toward multimode quantum interferometry.
