  We have theoretically studied the photon statistical properties in a
nonlinear whispering-gallery-mode microresonator coupled with two
nanoparticles. By tuning the relative position of two nanoparticles, the photon
statistical features of the system can be modified remarkably. Interestingly, a
controllable switching between unconventional and conventional photon blockade
can be realized by manipulating the angular positions of two nanoparticles. We
also investigate the influence of the Kerr effect on the second order
correlation function and find that there is an optimal choice for the relative
position of two nanoparticles and the strength of Kerr effect that can generate
strong antibunching. Furthermore, under the strong driving, two photon blockade
can be achieved when the system is close to an exceptional point. Our work may
provide an effective way to control photon statistical characteristics and have
potential applications in quantum information science.
