A giant atom coupled to waveguides enables programmable Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry, with tunable coupling phases providing continuous control over two-photon quantum interference for quantum information and sensing applications.
Giant atoms enable simultaneous photon blockades across multiple cavities through multipoint coupling and destructive interference—a capability impossible in conventional point-atom systems. This opens new pathways for quantum light engineering.
Theory predicts light transmitted through weakly-coupled atomic ensembles can violate Bell inequalities via antibunched suppression and phase-coherent bunching mechanisms, achievable with 75-250+ atoms depending on coupling strength.

CsPbI₃ quantum dot clusters reveal how collective optical behavior emerges: isolated dots show single exponential decay, but two or more dots exhibit biexponential decay with cluster-size-dependent lifetimes, bridging single emitter and ensemble regimes.
Strongly driven Jaynes-Cummings systems generate non-classical, quantum-correlated harmonics via multi-photon resonances, revealing how cascade wave-mixing processes create entanglement between harmonic orders through Stark-shift-induced dynamics.
