Abstract

We study computationally the 3-photon molecule generation through coherent scattering process in nonlinear quantum nanophotonics. Specifically, the molecule signature is confirmed with an imprinted π conditional phase shift by examining the wave function in both real- and frequency-space representation, and correlation functions g⁽³⁾ and g⁽²⁾. Moreover, we show that the correlation metrics for the three- and two-photon Fock state scattering also apply to a weak-coherent optical input, which describe well the recent experimental results in ultra-cold atomic gas. Our work opens up a new research direction of computational study for correlated three-photon scattering and transport processes. Generations of 3-photon molecule may tremendously enhance the three-photon fluorescence microscopy efficiency and facilitate the realization of deterministic quantum logic gates.
