New method for theoretical calculations of the characteristics of an atom in a strong electromagnetic field

Abstract

A standard method for calculations of the characteristics of an atom in a strong field is proposed. This is based on the concepts of the quantum theory of Markovian processes. Its efficacy in quantitative computer calculations for general fields is demonstrated.

Multi-Frequency Atom-Photon Interactions

Ben Yuen, Christopher J. Foot

We present a formalism that enables the analytic calculation of the interaction of a spin-half particle with a polychromatic electromagnetic field. This powerful new approach provides a clear physical picture even for cases with highly degenerate energy levels, which are complicated to interpret in the standard dressed-atom picture. Typically semi-classical methods are used for such problems (leading to equations that are solved by Floquet theory). Our formalism is derived from quantum electrodynamics and thus is more widely applicable. In particular it makes accessible the intermediate regime between quantum and semi-classical dynamics. We give examples of the application to multi-frequency multi-photon processes in strong fields by deriving the Hamiltonians of such systems, and also to the dynamics of weak fields at long times for which semi-classical methods are insufficient.

Absorptive optical bistability in two-state atoms

Albert T. Rosenberger, Luis A. Orozco, Harry J. Kimble +1 more

Absolute quantitative comparisons between experiment and theory are reported for the steady-state characteristics of optical bistability with two-state atoms in ring and in standing-wave resonators. The case treated here is the absorptive one, with both atoms and cavity resonant with the field. The experiment is designed to realize as closely as possible a standard theoretical model of two-state atoms interacting with a single mode of the electromagnetic field in a resonator and is described in detail. A detailed explanation is also given of the extensions to the standard theory that are needed to account for unavoidable experimental limitations such as transit broadening and the nonideal nature of the resonator. The good agreement observed between experiment and theory provides a foundation for quantitative investigation of nonlinear dynamics and quantum phenomena in this nonequilibrium optical system.

The probabilities of quantum transitions are described by integrals over trajectories in the space of energy states of a system exposed to an electromagnetic field. We describe quantum transitions in hydrogen atom.

Quantum metamaterials in the microwave and optical ranges

Alexandre M Zagoskin, Didier Felbacq, Emmanuel Rousseau

Quantum metamaterials generalize the concept of metamaterials (artificial optical media) to the case when their optical properties are determined by the interplay of quantum effects in the constituent ‘artificial atoms’ with the electromagnetic field modes in the system. The theoretical investigation of these structures demonstrated that a number of new effects (such as quantum birefringence, strongly nonclassical states of light, etc.) are to be expected, prompting the efforts on their fabrication and experimental investigation. Here we provide a summary of the principal features of quantum metamaterials and review the current state of research in this quickly developing field, which bridges quantum optics, quantum condensed matter theory and quantum information processing.
