Abstract

Photon blockade is a phenomenon where the presence of system nonlinearity causes the output to consist of single photons, which has been extensively studied in point atom systems, but it is barely explored in giant atom ones. In this paper, we propose giant atom-mediated photon blockade scheme based on two cavities and three cavities systems with driving field applied to the first cavity. We show that simultaneous unconventional photon blockades (UPBs) can not occur in the point atom system (the atom coupling only to the leftmost cavity) due to there always existing a cavity to have a single path. In contrast, the spatially extended nature of giant atom enables coupling to multiple cavities and allows for the introduction of a phase and coupling strength. Consequently, simultaneous UPBs in multiple cavities can be obtained due to the multipath destructive interference. Moreover, by manipulating the detuning, we observe simultaneous conventional photon blockades (CPBs) in multiple cavities. Finally, we study simultaneous two-photon blockades (2PBs) in point atom multiple cavities system.
