The effect is characterized with photon number-resolving spectroscopy using an additional dispersively coupled transmon \"witness\" qubit to directly probe the cavity's photon number distribution. We first observe polariton formation with splitting proportional to $\\sqrt{N}$, confirming the Tavis-Cummings coupling, and subsequently obtain sub-Poissonian cavity photon statistics when the cavity is driven at polariton frequencies.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.18751v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.18751v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"observation-of-photon-blockade-in-a-tavis","repo_url":"https://github.com/radulaski/PhotonBlockadeTavisCummings","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
