We present a new approach for deriving exact closed-form solutions for the steady state of a wide class of driven-dissipative nonlinear resonators that is distinct from more common complex-P-function methods. Our method generalizes the coherent quantum-absorber approach of Stannigel et al. [New J. Phys. 14, 063014 (2012)] to include nonlinear driving and dissipation and relies crucially on exploiting the Segal-Bargmann representation of Fock space. Our solutions and method reveal a wealth of previously unexplored observable phenomena in these systems, including new generalized photon-blockade and antiblockade effects and an infinite number of new parameter choices that yield quantum bistability.
