Dissipation-Induced Photon Blockade in the Anti-Jaynes–Cummings Model
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe report of referee – photonics-2938112 / Biao Huang,
This manuscript presents the dissipation-induced photon blockade in the Anti-Jaynes-Cummings Model, where single-photon sources are crucial in quantum sciences, with photon blockade serving as an important method for their generation. They propose that the anti-Jaynes–Cummings model can induce a pronounced photon antibunching effect when subjected to intense cavity dissipation. Similar to the blockade caused by dispersion, this antibunching effect is referred to as ’dissipation- induced blockade’. Their findings indicate that the minimum decay rate of a qubit, coupled with a high decay rate for photons, is conducive to achieving strong antibunching within the system, where g(2)(0) < g(2)(τ), a characteristic of photon antibunching, is only valid under the optimal condition Δ = 0. Conversely, g(2)(0) < 1 is satisfied across all parameters, indicating that g(2)(0) < 1 is not a prerequisite for antibunching in the anti-Jaynes–Cummings model. Under the optimal conditions of the antibunching effect, the average photon number attains its peak value. The current anti-Jaynes–Cummings model shows promise for developing single-photon sources characterized by excellent purity and an average photon number.
Their results are very interesting and will be useful for future experiments. However, they did not cite the related works, for example, Non-Abelian Josephson effect between two F=2 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in double optical traps [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 185301 (2009)], Josephson effect for photons in two weakly linked microcavities [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 023602 (2009)], quantum magnetic dynamics of polarized light in arrays of microcavities [A. C. Ji, X. C. Xie, W. M. Liu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 183602 (2007)].
I can recommend the revised version of this manuscript for publication in Photonics after they corrected above comments.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe authors conducted a thorough examination of dissipation-induced photon blockade in the anti-JC model, yielding intriguing findings. While I highly recommend this work for publication, I suggest the authors address the following points to enhance clarity and accuracy:
-
1. Several typographical errors should be rectified. For instance, Sections II, III, and IV should be denoted as 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Additionally, in Equation (1), a closing parenthesis was omitted for the cosine function. Furthermore, unnecessary square brackets should be removed from [Eq. (2)] and similar instances throughout the manuscript.
-
2. It would be valuable to discuss the potential occurrence of similar phenomena in the JC model and elucidate the distinctions between the anti-JC model and the JC model [43-45].
-
3. Unlike the anti-JC model, the JC model has been extensively investigated. For example, Qiang et al. discussed the concept of concurrence in the JC model in their paper "Quantum Information Processing 17 (4), 90 (2018)," among others.
-
4. Careful attention should be paid to the accuracy of the authors' names and affiliations in the References section, e.g. [38] to ensure proper attribution.
By addressing these points, the manuscript will be better positioned for publication, contributing to the advancement of the field.
