Abstract

We investigate the transitions between energy levels and parity symmetry in an effective two-level polar molecule system strongly coupled with a quantized harmonic oscillator. By the dressed-state perturbation theory, the transition diagrams between the dressed-state energy levels are presented clearly and show that the odd (even) parity symmetry is broken by the permanent dipole moment (PDM) of the polar molecules. By the analytical and numerical methods, we find that when the coupling strength and the PDM increase, the more frequency components are induced by the counter-rotating terms and PDM.

The effect of permanent dipole moment on the polar molecule cavity quantum electrodynamics

Jingyun Zhao, Li‐Guo Qin, Xunming Cai +2 more

A dressed-state perturbation theory beyond the rotating waveapproxi-mation (RWA) is presented to investigate the interaction between a two level electronic transition of the polar molecules and a quantized cavity field. Analytical expressions can be explicitly derived for both the ground- and excited-state-energy spectrums and wave functions of the system, where the contribution of permanent dipole moments (PDM) and the counter-rotating wave term (CRT) can be shown separately. The validity of these explicit results is discussed by comparing with the direct numerical simulation. Comparing to CRT coupling, PDM results in the coupling of more dressed states and the energy shift proportional to the square of the normalized permanent dipole difference, and a greater Bloch-Siegert shift could be produced in giant dipole molecule cavity QED. In addition, our method could also be extended to the solution of two-level atom Rabi model Hamiltonian beyond the RWA.

Beyond the Rabi model: Light interactions with polar atomic systems in a cavity

Giovanni Scala, Karolina Słowik, Paolo Facchi A +2 more

The Rabi Hamiltonian, describing the interaction between a two-level atomic system and a single-cavity mode of the electromagnetic field, is one of the fundamental models in quantum optics. The model becomes exactly solvable by considering an atom without permanent dipole moments, whose excitation energy is quasiresonant with the cavity photon energy, and by neglecting the nonresonant (counter-rotating) terms. In this case, after including the decay of either the atom or the cavity mode to a continuum, one can derive the well-known phenomenology of quasiresonant transitions, including the fluorescence triplets. In this work we consider the most general Rabi model, incorporating the effects of permanent atomic electric dipole moments. Based on a perturbative analysis, we compare the intensities of emission lines induced by rotating terms, counter-rotating terms, and parity-symmetry-breaking terms in order to identify the parameter regimes in which these different contributions play a significant role. The analysis reveals that the emission strength related to the existence of permanent dipoles may surpass the one due to the counter-rotating interaction terms but is usually much weaker than the emission due to the main, resonant coupling. This ratio can be modified in systems with a reduced dimensionality or by engineering the energy spectral density of the continuum.

Optical and microwave control of resonance fluorescence and squeezing spectra in a polar molecule

M. A. Antón, S. Maede-Razavi, F. Carreño +2 more

A two-level quantum emitter with broken inversion symmetry simultaneously driven by an optical field and a microwave field that couples to the permanent dipole's moment is presented. We focus to a situation where the angular frequency of the microwave field is chosen such that it closely matches the Rabi frequency of the optical field, the so-called Rabi resonance condition. Using a series of unitary transformations we obtain an effective Hamiltonian in the double-dressed basis which results in easily solvable Bloch equations which allow us to derive analytical expressions for the spectrum of the scattered photons. We analyze the steady-state population inversion of the system which shows a distinctive behavior at the Rabi resonance with regard to an ordinary two-level nonpolar system. We show that saturation can be produced even in the case that the optical field is far detuned from the transition frequency, and we demonstrate that this behavior can be controlled through the intensity and the angular frequency of the microwave field. The spectral properties of the scattered photons are analyzed and manifest the emergence of a series of Mollow-like triplets which may be spectrally broadened or narrowed for proper values of the amplitude and/or frequency of the low-frequency field. We also analyze the phase-dependent spectrum which reveals that a significant enhancement or suppression of the squeezing at certain sidebands can be produced. These quantum phenomena are illustrated in a recently synthesized molecular complex with high nonlinear optical response although they can also occur in other quantum systems with broken inversion symmetry.

Polar diatomic molecules in optical cavities: Photon scaling, rotational effects, and comparison with classical fields

Johan F. Triana, José Luis Sanz‐Vicario

We address topics related to molecules coupled to quantum radiation. The formalism of light-matter interaction is different for classical and quantum fields, but some analogies remain, such as the formation of light induced crossings. We show that under particular circumstances, the molecular dynamics under quantum or classical fields produce similar results, as long as the radiation is prepared as a Fock state and far from ultra-strong coupling regimes. At this point, the choice of specific initial Fock states is irrelevant since the dynamics scales. However, in realistic multistate molecular systems, radiative scaling may fail due to the presence of simultaneous efficient non-radiative couplings in the dynamics. Polar molecules have permanent dipoles, and within the context of the full quantum Rabi model with a Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian, they play a crucial role in the polaritonic dynamics since both permanent dipole moments and self-energy terms produce drastic changes on the undressed potential energy surfaces at high coupling strengths. We also gauge the effect of including rotational degrees of freedom in cavity molecular photodynamics. For diatomic molecules, the addition of rotation amounts to transform (both with classical or quantum fields) a light induced crossing into a light induced conical intersection. However, we show that conical intersections due to molecular rotation do not represent the standard properties of well-known efficient intrinsic conical intersections inasmuch they do not enhance the quantum transition rates.
