Transparent conductive oxides provide a unique platform for nonlinear optics in the Epslion-near-zero regime. Here we consider novel quantum effects that arise in an optically pumped and time-dependent epsilon-near-zero material.

Quantum Zeno blockade allows all-optical switching in a counterintuitive “interaction-free” manner. Using a lithium-niobate microdisk cavity nanofabricated on chip, we have observed phase matched sum-frequency generation and interaction-free switching between optical pulses in two tightly confined whispering-gallery modes. We have also verified that our device is suitable for nonlinear operations in a single-photon regime. Our results point to a scalable, chip-integrated platform for nonlinear optics extendable to the quantum regime.
