Fractional Quantum Hall States of Photons in an Array of Dissipative Coupled Cavities
Open accessAbstract
We report a theoretical study of the collective optical response of a two-dimensional array of nonlinear cavities in the impenetrable photon regime under a strong artificial magnetic field. Taking advantage of the nonequilibrium nature of the photon gas, we propose an experimentally viable all-optical scheme to generate and detect strongly correlated photon states which are optical analogs of the Laughlin states of fractional quantum Hall physics.

The two-particle wavefunction of a Laughlin state can be reconstructed from the two-photon correlations of the light emitted by the two-photon FQH state generated under coherent pumping.

In this two-dimensional geometry, optical transitions occur from the vacuum state to strongly correlated N-photon states analogous to those of fractional quantum Hall systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
