Abstract
We propose an experimentally feasible scheme for generating antibunched N-photon bundles by a dc voltage-biased Josephson junction in series with a superconducting microwave resonator and a charge qubit. Each resonant tunneling Cooper pair leads to the excitation of the charge qubit and resonator with N photons simultaneously via the ac Josephson effect. Meanwhile, the charge qubit with strong anharmonicity is utilized to regulate the tunneling behavior of the Cooper pairs; that is, the presence of N photons in the resonator prevents the next tunnel event. So the resonator contains only N photons or none, and all other possibilities are greatly suppressed. Combined with the system's dissipation, the resonator can emit its energy in antibunched bundles of N strongly correlated photons with high purity and an in situ tunable emission rate. Such a nonclassical source could be useful in applications in the field of quantum information science.
