Abstract

We discuss the concept of quadrature-squeezed light and give an overview of its applications and its relevance for quantum nanophotonics. The state-of-the-art in its detection and generation is briefly reviewed, placing special emphasis on resonance fluorescence from single emitters. We show how nanostructures allow tailoring the generation of squeezed light from a two-level emitter and from two emitters that interact through the nanoarchitecture. Finally, we comment on the future prospects of nanostructured environments for improved sources of squeezed light.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that the field quadrature prefactor needs to be chosen consistently and we use the convention and notation adopted in our previous work [13]. A factor 1/2 has been commonly introduced in the literature that will provide a value 1/4 of the spectrum calculated in this work. Also, the expressions are corrected with respect to those written in the text of the seminal work [42].
