Statistically driven model for efficient analysis of few-photon transport in waveguide quantum electrodynamics

Understanding transport properties in quantum nanophotonics plays a central role in designing few-photon devices, yet it suffers from a longstanding extensive computational burden. In this work, we propose a statistically driven model with a tremendously eased computational burden, which is based on the deep understanding of the few-photon spontaneous emission process. By utilizing phenomenological, statistically driven inter-photon offset parameters, the proposed model expedites the transport calculation with a three-order-of-magnitude enhancement of speed in contrast to conventional numerical approaches. We showcase the two-photon transport computation bench marked by the rigorous analytical approach. Our work provides an efficient tool for designing few-photon nano-devices, and it significantly deepens the understanding of correlated quantum many-body physics. (C) 2020 Optical Society of America
