Abstract
In a two-photon Jaynes–Cummings model which consists of an atom interacting with a cavity mode with a two-photon interaction, we find the photon blockade effect can be largely improved by inducing a interference pathway. The interference pathway can be either a two-photon transition or an atom transition. The purity of the single photon can be improved by \(10 \sim 100\) times, and we find the high purity of single photon is induced by combination of conventional and unconventional photon blockade. The method provides a way to improve the purity of single photon.
In a system consisting of a cavity coupled to a two-level atom via a two-photon interaction, the two photon state can be reduced by destructive interference between different transition pathways.
