• Authors: Jorge A. Campos-Gonzalez-Angulo and Joel Yuen-Zhou
• Abstract summary: This work contrasts predictions from the Tavis-Cummings (TC) model, in which the material is a collection of two-level systems. We simplify the brute-force diagonalization of a gigantic $N2times N2$ Hamiltonian. We find resonant conditions between bipolaritons and anharmonic transitions where two-photon absorption can be enhanced.

• Abstract: Confined electromagnetic modes strongly couple to collective excitations in ensembles of quantum emitters, producing light-matter hybrid states known as polaritons. Under such conditions, the discrete multilevel spectrum of molecular systems offers an appealing playground for exploring multiphoton processes. This work contrasts predictions from the Tavis-Cummings (TC) model, in which the material is a collection of two-level systems, with the implications of considering additional energy levels with harmonic and anharmonic structures. We discuss the exact eigenspectrum, up to the second excitation manifold, of an arbitrary number $N$ of oscillators collectively coupled to a single cavity mode in the rotating-wave approximation. Elaborating on our group-theoretic approach [New J. Phys. 23, 063081 (2021)], we simplify the brute-force diagonalization of a gigantic $N^2\times N^2$ Hamiltonian (where $N=10^6-10^{10}$, as experiments suggest) to the diagonalization of, at most, $4\times4$ matrices. We thoroughly discuss the eigenstates and the consequences of weak and strong anharmonicities. Furthermore, we find resonant conditions between bipolaritons and anharmonic transitions where two-photon absorption can be enhanced. Finally, we conclude that energy shifts in the polaritonic states induced by anharmonicities become negligible for large $N$. Thus, calculations with a single or few emitters qualitatively fail to represent the nonlinear optical response of the collective strong coupling regime. Our work highlights the rich physics of multilevel anharmonic systems coupled to cavities absent in standard models of quantum optics. We also provide concise tabulated expressions for eigenfrequencies and transition amplitudes, which should serve as a reference for future spectroscopic studies of molecular polaritons.

  The paper studies resonant generation of higher-order harmonics in a closed cavity in Euler-Heisenberg electrodynamics from the point of view of pure quantum field theory. We consider quantum states of the electromagnetic field in a rectangular cavity with conducting boundary conditions, and calculate the cross-section for the merging of three quanta of cavity modes into a single one. We show that the amplitude of the merging process vanishes for a cavity with an arbitrary aspect ratio, and provide an explanation based on plane wave decomposition for cavity modes.

  Strong noncentrosymmetrical generations in high orders are observed around a single type-II Weyl point, especially at frequency zero. In consideration of dynamical symmetries, type-I and -II Weyl cones also show different selective responses under the circularly polarized light. Using a more realistic model containing two pairs of Weyl points, we demonstrate the paired Weyl points with opposite chirality could suppress the overall even-order generations.
