• Abstract summary: We develop a framework that provides a few-mode master equation description of the interaction between a single quantum emitter and an arbitrary electromagnetic environment. We illustrate the power and validity of our approach by describing the population and electric field dynamics in the spontaneous decay of an emitter placed in a complex hybrid plasmonic-photonic structure.

• Abstract: We develop a framework that provides a few-mode master equation description of the interaction between a single quantum emitter and an arbitrary electromagnetic environment. The field quantization requires only the fitting of the spectral density, obtained through classical electromagnetic simulations, to a model system involving a small number of lossy and interacting modes. We illustrate the power and validity of our approach by describing the population and electric field dynamics in the spontaneous decay of an emitter placed in a complex hybrid plasmonic-photonic structure.

  We present a hierarchy of approximations for the equations of motion for the photonic state. We find that for the typical experimental situation of weak quantized-light-matter-coupling constant and at intensities well below the damage threshold, an explicit expression for the generated quantum light captures the high-harmonic spectrum quantitatively.

  We investigate strong light-matter coupling through monochromatic and modulated electron wavepackets. In particular, we consider an archetypal target, comprising a nanophotonic cavity next to a single two-level emitter. We show the power of modulated electrons beams as quantum tools for the manipulation of polaritonic targets.

  We present a framework for quantization of electromagnetic field in the presence of dielectric media with time-varying optical properties. We obtain the normal modes of the coupled light-matter degrees of freedom, showing that the corresponding creation and operators obey equal-time canonical commutation relations. Our results are pertinent to time-varying boundary conditions realizable across a wide range of state-of-the-art physical platforms and timescales.

  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.
