• Title: A fast, high-order numerical method for the simulation of single-excitation states in quantum optics
• Authors: Jeremy Hoskins and Jason Kaye and Manas Rachh and John C. Schotland
• Abstract summary: We reformulate the problem as an integro-differential equation for the atomic degrees of freedom, and describe an efficient solver for the case of a Gaussian atomic density. We demonstrate the solver on two systems of physical interest: in the first, an initially-excited atom decays into a photon by spontaneous emission, and in the second, a photon pulse is used to excite an atom, which then decays.

• Abstract: We consider the numerical solution of a nonlocal partial differential equation which models the process of collective spontaneous emission in a two-level atomic system containing a single photon. We reformulate the problem as an integro-differential equation for the atomic degrees of freedom, and describe an efficient solver for the case of a Gaussian atomic density. The problem of history dependence arising from the integral formulation is addressed using sum-of-exponentials history compression. We demonstrate the solver on two systems of physical interest: in the first, an initially-excited atom decays into a photon by spontaneous emission, and in the second, a photon pulse is used to an excite an atom, which then decays.

• Propagating single photons from an open cavity: Description from universal quantization [0.0]
  Quantum optics has evolved from high quality factor cavities in the early experiments toward new cavity designs involving leaky modes. We take a different approach, and we define an inside-outside representation which is derived from the original true-mode representation. We propose an atom-cavity non-resonant scheme for single photon generation, and we rigorously analyze the outgoing single photon in time and frequency domains.

• Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

  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.
