The quantum-jump approach to dissipative dynamics in quantum optics
Dissipation, the irreversible loss of energy and coherence, from a microsystem is the result of coupling to a much larger macrosystem (or reservoir) that is so large that one has no chance of keeping track of all of its degrees of freedom. The microsystem evolution is then described by tracing over the reservoir states, which results in an irreversible decay as excitation leaks out of the initi...
متن کاملQuantum and Nonlinear Optics in Strongly Interacting Atomic Ensembles
Coupling light to ensembles of strongly interacting particles has emerged as a promising route toward achieving few photon nonlinearities. One specific way to implement this kind of nonlinearity is to interface light with highly excited atomic Rydberg states by means of electromagnetically induced transparency, an approach which allows freely propagating photons to acquire synthetic interaction...
متن کاملExperimental tests of quantum nonlinear dynamics in atom optics
Cold atoms in optical potentials provide an ideal test bed to explore quantum nonlinear dynamics. Atoms are prepared in a magneto-optic trap or as a dilute Bose–Einstein condensate and subjected to a far detuned optical standing wave that is modulated. They exhibit a wide range of dynamics, some of which can be explained by classical theory while other aspects show the underlying quantum nature...
متن کاملDissipative quantum dynamics at surfaces: A nonlinear-coupling model
The recently developed Lindblad approach for quantum dynamics of an open system with linear dissipation has been extended to a model of nonlinear coupling. The coupling term Hi5(kCk f (x)qk is an arbitrary function of the system coordinate, but remains to be linear in bath coordinates. A Lindblad master equation and its associated stochastic differential equation have been obtained. To study di...
متن کاملDissipative many-body quantum optics in Rydberg media.
We develop a theoretical framework for the dissipative propagation of quantized light under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic media involving strongly interacting Rydberg states. The theory allows us to determine the peculiar spatiotemporal structure of the output of the recently demonstrated single-photon filter and the recently proposed single-photon subtractor,...
