- Abstract: Many optically active systems possess spatially asymmetric electron orbitals.
These generate permanent dipole moments, which can be stronger than the
corresponding transition dipole moments, significantly affecting the system
dynamics and creating polarised Fock states of light. We derive a master
equation for these systems by employing an optical polaron transformation that
captures the photon mode polarisation induced by the permanent dipoles. This
provides an intuitive framework to explore their influence on the system
dynamics and emission spectrum. We find that permanent dipoles introduce
multiple-photon processes and a photon sideband which causes substantial
modifications to single-photon transition dipole processes. In the presence of
an external drive, permanent dipoles lead to an additional process that we show
can be exploited to optimise the decoherence and transition rates. We derive
the emission spectrum of the system, highlighting experimentally detectable
signatures of optical polarons, and measurements that can identify the
parameters in the system Hamiltonian, the magnitude of the differences in the
permanent dipoles, and the steady-state populations of the system.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

Polarization entanglement is central to quantum photonics due to the simplicity of polarization qubit encoding and control.
We use relaxed phase matching of flat nonlinear optical sources to generate photon pairs with tunable polarization entanglement.
In combination with the broadband frequency spectrum, it results in an ultranarrow (12 fs) Hong-Ou-Mandel effect and promises extensions to hyperentanglement.
