15 February 2010Optimal pulse to generate non-classical photon states via
photon blockade
The single photon character of nonclassical states of light that can be generated using photon blockade is analyzed
for time domain operation. We show that improved single photon statistics (single photon around 85% with
a multi-photon of 8%) can be obtained by adequately choosing the parameters (mainly amplitude and pulseduration)
of the driving laser pulses. An alternative method, where the system is driven via a continuous wave
laser and the frequency of the dipole is controlled (e.g. electrically) at very fast timescales is presented. We also
show that this non-classical state performs better than a weak coherent pulse, when applied to BB84 quantum
cryptography protocol.
