- Abstract summary: We provide theory and formal insight on the Green function quantization method for absorptive and dispersive spatial-inhomogeneous media.
We show that a fundamental Green function identity, which appears in the fundamental commutation relation of the electromagnetic fields, is also valid in the limit of non-absorbing media.

- Abstract: We provide theory and formal insight on the Green function quantization
method for absorptive and dispersive spatial-inhomogeneous media in the context
of dielectric media. We show that a fundamental Green function identity, which
appears, e.g., in the fundamental commutation relation of the electromagnetic
fields, is also valid in the limit of non-absorbing media. We also demonstrate
how the zero-point field fluctuations yields a non-vanishing surface term in
configurations without absorption, when using a more formal procedure of the
Green function quantization method. We then apply the presented method to a
recently developed theory of photon quantization using quasinormal modes
[Franke et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 213901 (2019)] for finite nanostructures
embedded in a lossless background medium. We discuss the strict dielectric
limit of the commutation relations of the quasinormal mode operators and
present different methods to obtain them, connected to the radiative loss for
non-absorptive but open resonators. We show exemplary calculations of a fully
three-dimensional photonic crystal beam cavity, including the lossless limit,
which supports a single quasinormal mode and discuss the limits of the
commutation relation for vanishing damping (no material loss and no radiative
loss).

We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods.
We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians.
For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

It is numerically proved, for the first time, that one can retrieve the conventional expression of the spontaneous emission rate.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

A thorough study of the mode-splitting and its tuning across the stop-band leads to a quantitative understanding of the mechanism behind the results.
