We show that nonreciprocal unidirectional single-photon quantum transport can be
achieved with the photonic Aharonov–Bohm effect. The system consists of a 1D waveguide
coupling to two three-level atoms of the V-type. The two atoms, in addition, are each driven
by an external coherent field. We show that the phase of the external coherent field provides
a gauge potential for the photon states. With a proper choice of the phase difference
between the two coherent fields, the transport of a single photon can exhibit unity contrast in …
