• Title: Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Optics
• Authors: Jannik Ströhle, Richard Lopp,
• Abstract summary: One-dimensional quantum optical models usually rest on the intuition of large scale separation or frozen dynamics associated with the different spatial dimensions. We show how the quantized electromagnetic field can be decomposed $-$ exactly $-$ into an infinite number of subfields living on a lower dimensional subspace. The dimensional reduction approximation then corresponds to a truncation in the number of such subfields that in turn, when considering the interaction with for instance an atom, corresponds to a modification to the atomic spatial profile.

• Abstract: One-dimensional quantum optical models usually rest on the intuition of large scale separation or frozen dynamics associated with the different spatial dimensions, for example when studying quasi one-dimensional atomic dynamics, potentially resulting in the violation of $3+1D$ Maxwell's theory. Here, we provide a rigorous foundation for this approximation by means of the light-matter interaction. We show how the quantized electromagnetic field can be decomposed $-$ exactly $-$ into an infinite number of subfields living on a lower dimensional subspace and containing the entirety of the spectrum when studying axially symmetric setups, such as with an optical fiber, a laser beam or a waveguide. The dimensional reduction approximation then corresponds to a truncation in the number of such subfields that in turn, when considering the interaction with for instance an atom, corresponds to a modification to the atomic spatial profile. We explore under what conditions the standard approach is justified and when corrections are necessary in order to account for the dynamics due to the neglected spatial dimensions. In particular we will examine what role vacuum fluctuations and structured laser modes play in the validity of the approximation.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We study the open quantum dynamics of a probe modelled by another real scalar field. As the leading effect, we extract a correction to the probe's unitary evolution. We show that comparing the predicted frequency shifts in two experimentally distinct setups has the potential to exclude large parts of the dilaton parameter space.

  We investigate the properties of a quantum walk which can simulate the behavior of a spin $1/2$ particle in a model with an ordinary spatial dimension. In particular, we observe that the probability distribution becomes, at large time steps, concentrated near the "low energy" brane. In this way, we obtain a localization effect whose strength is controlled by a warp coefficient.

  We show that the ability to approximate a higher-dimensional scenario by a $1+1$ dimensional model is equivalent to making a certain change of the probe's shape in the higher-dimensional space. We explore this approximation in particular setups corresponding to quantum optics and superconducting circuits.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.

We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
