Kinetics of photon correlation functions under the time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian
Shan-Wen Tsai, A. F. R. de Toledo Piza
The dynamic decoupling of the correlation function hierarchy under the general quadratic Hamiltonian is exploited to extend the results obtained for coherent pumping and squeezing in Ref. . Closed c-number dynamic equations are given explicitly for three- and four-operator averages, for an arbitrary (pure or mixed) initial state of the field. At this level an independent c-number constant of motion appears, related to two-photon correlation properties of the initial state. Extension to higher correlation functions is straightforward. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
