Nonreciprocal Photon Blockade
read the original abstract
We propose how to create and manipulate one-way nonclassical light via photon blockade in rotating nonlinear devices. We refer to this effect as nonreciprocal photon blockade (PB). Specifically, we show that in a spinning Kerr resonator, PB happens when the resonator is driven in one direction but not the other. This occurs because of the {Fizeau drag,} leading to a full split of the resonance frequencies of the countercirculating modes. Different types of purely quantum correlations, such as single- and two-photon blockades, can emerge in different directions in a well-controlled manner, and the transition from PB to photon-induced tunneling is revealed as well. Our work opens up a new route to achieve quantum nonreciprocal devices, which are crucial elements in chiral quantum technologies or topological photonics.

Macroscopic Optical Nonreciprocity: A Black Hole as an Optical Diode
Rotating black holes with a nonminimally coupled Lorentz-violating background act as optical diodes by producing direction-dependent shadows that morph from quasi-symmetric to teardrop upon path reversal.
