Antibunched single-photon/photon-pair emission with coupled Jaynes-Cummings model

Herein, we propose a coupled Jaynes-Cummings model for the preparation of strong antibunched single photons and antibunched correlated photon pairs. Using the effective Hamiltonian method, we obtained the expression for the correlation function and then presented the optimal conditions for conventional/unconventional photon blockade. The results showed that on one hand, an intersection point exists between conventional photon blockade and unconventional photon blockade and that the performance of the single photon at the intersection point is better. On the other hand, under the condition of unconventional photon blockade, the photons produced by each Jaynes-Cummings system are strongly correlated with each other.
