Abstract: This article presents a general master equation formalism for the interaction between travelling pulses of quantum radiation and localized quantum systems. Traveling fields populate a continuum of free space radiation modes and the Jaynes-Cummings model, valid for a discrete eigenmode of a cavity, does not apply. We develop a complete input-output theory to describe the driving of quantum systems by arbitrary incident pulses of radiation and the quantum state of the field emitted into any desired outgoing temporal mode. Our theory is applicable to the transformation and interaction of pulses of radiation by their coupling to a wide class of material quantum systems. We discuss the most essential differences between quantum interactions with pulses and with discrete radiative eigenmodes and present examples relevant to quantum information protocols with optical, microwave and acoustic waves.

Nonlinear dynamical Casimir effect and Unruh entanglement in waveguide QED with parametrically modulated coupling [83.88591755871734]
We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

The quantum state of light in collective spontaneous emission [0.0]
Collective spontaneous emission occurs when multiple quantum emitters decay into common radiation modes. We unveil under what conditions the quantum correlations are not lost during the emission but are instead transferred to the output light. Our findings suggest new paths for creating and manipulating multi-photon quantum light for bosonic codes in continuous-variable-based quantum computation, communications, and sensing.

Qubit readout and quantum sensing with pulses of quantum radiation [0.0]
We use quantum trajectories to model the measurement record and conditional evolution of the state of a quantum system subject to its interaction with a travelling pulse of radiation. Our analysis applies to different measurement strategies and to arbitrary input quantum states of the probe field pulse and it thus permits direct comparison of their metrological advantages.

Interaction of quantum systems with single pulses of quantized radiation [68.8204255655161]
We describe the interaction of a propagating pulse of quantum radiation with a localized quantum system. By transformation to an appropriate picture, we identify the usual Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian between the scatterer and a superposition of the initial and final mode. The transformed master equation offers important insights into the system dynamics and it permits numerically efficient solutions.
