We employ a recently developed quantization scheme for quasinormal modes (QNMs) to study a nonperturbative open cavity-QED system consisting of a hybrid metal-dielectric resonator coupled to a quantum emitter. This hybrid cavity system allows one to explore the complex coupling between a low $Q$ (quality factor) resonance and a high $Q$ resonance, manifesting in a striking Fano resonance, an effect that is not captured by traditional quantization schemes using normal modes or a Jaynes-Cummings (JC) type model. The QNM quantization approach rigorously includes dissipative coupling between the QNMs, and is supplemented with generalized input-output relations for the output electric field operator for multiple modes in the system, and correlation functions outside the system. The role of the dissipation-induced mode coupling is explored in the strong coupling regime between the photons and emitter beyond the first rung of the JC dressed-state ladder. Important differences in the quantum master equation and input-output relations between the QNM quantum model and phenomenological dissipative JC models are found. In a second step, numerical results for the Fock distributions and system as well as output correlation functions obtained from the quantized QNM model for the hybrid structure are compared with results from a phenomenological approach. We demonstrate explicitly how the quantized QNM model manifests in multiphoton quantum correlations beyond what is predicted by the usual JC models.

A quantum dot can be used as a source of one- and two-photon states and of polarisation entangled photon pairs. The emission of such states is investigated from the point of view of frequency-resolved two-photon correlations. These follow from a spectral filtering of the dot emission, which can be achieved either by using a cavity or by placing a number of interference filters before the detectors. The combination of these various options is used to iteratively refine the emission in a distillation process and arrive at highly correlated states with a high purity. So-called leapfrog processes where the system undergoes a direct transition from the biexciton state to the ground state by direct emission of two photons, are shown to be central to the quantum features of such sources. Optimum configurations are singled out in a global theoretical picture that unifies the various regimes of operation.
Through a combination of experiment and theory we establish the possibility of achieving strong tuning of Fano resonances (FRs), by allowing their usual two-path geometry to interfere with an additional, intruder, continuum. As the coupling strength to this intruder is varied, we predict strong modulations of the resonance line shape that, in principle at least, may exceed the amplitude of the original FR itself. For a proof-of-concept demonstration of this phenomenon, we construct a nanoscale interferometer from nonlocally coupled quantum point contacts and utilize the unique features of their density of states to realize the intruder. External control of the intruder coupling is enabled by means of an applied magnetic field, in the presence of which we demonstrate the predicted distortions of the FR. This general scheme for resonant control should be broadly applicable to a variety of wave-based systems, opening up the possibility of new applications in areas such as chemical and biological sensing and secure communications.
We present a quantized quasinormal approach to rigorously describe coupled lossy resonators, and quantify the quantum coupling parameters as a function of distance between the resonators. We also make a direct connection between classical and quantum quasinormal modes parameters and theories, offering new and unique insights into coupled open cavity resonators. We present detailed calculations for coupled microdisk resonators and show striking interference effects that depend on the phase of the quasinormal modes, an effect that is also significant for high quality factor modes. Our results demonstrate that commonly adopted master equations for such systems are generally not applicable and we discuss the new physics that is captured using the quantized quasinormal mode coupling parameters and show how these relate to the classical mode parameters. Using these new insights, we also present several models to fix the failures of the dissipative Jaynes-Cummings type models for coupled cavity resonators. Additionally, we show how to improve the classical and quantum lossless mode models (i.e., using normal modes) by employing a non-diagonal mode expansion based on the knowledge of the quasinormal mode eigenfrequencies, and analytical coupled mode theory, to accurately capture the mode interference effects for high quality factors.
Systems in the dispersive regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) are approaching the limits of validity of the dispersive approximation. We present a model which takes into account nonlinear corrections to the dressing of the atom by the field. We find that in the presence of pure dephasing, photons populating the cavity act as a heat bath on the atom, inducing incoherent relaxation and excitation. These effects are shown to reduce the achievable signal-to-noise ratio in cavity QED realizations where the atom is measured indirectly through cavity transmission and in particular in circuit QED.
We introduce a second quantization scheme based on quasinormal modes, which are the dissipative modes of leaky optical cavities and plasmonic resonators with complex eigenfrequencies. The theory enables the construction of multi-plasmon/photon Fock states for arbitrary three-dimensional dissipative resonators and gives a solid understanding to the limits of phenomenological dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the general case, we show how different quasinormal modes interfere through an off-diagonal mode coupling and demonstrate how these results affect cavity-modified spontaneous emission. To illustrate the practical application of the theory, we show examples using a gold nanorod dimer and a hybrid dielectric-metal cavity structure.
