Quantum nonlinear metasurfaces from dual arrays of ultracold atoms
Simon Panyella Pedersen, Lida Zhang, Thomas Pohl
Abstract
Strong nonlinear effects are found for photons confined in a cavity-like system of two 2D arrays of atoms. Extremely narrow transmission resonances result in large confinement times, in turn resulting in strong temporal and momentum correlations between photons.
