- Authors: Th. K. Mavrogordatos,
- Abstract summary: We investigate quantum jumps occurring between macroscopic metastable states of light in the open driven Jaynes-Cummings model.
We find that, in the limit of zero spontaneous emission considered in [H. J. Carmichael, Phys. Rev. X 5, 031028], the jumps from a high-photon state to the vacuum state entail two stages.

- Abstract: We investigate the nature of quantum jumps occurring between macroscopic metastable states of light in the open driven Jaynes-Cummings model. We find that, in the limit of zero spontaneous emission considered in [H. J. Carmichael, Phys. Rev. X 5, 031028 (2015)], the jumps from a high-photon state to the vacuum state entail two stages. The first part is coherent and modelled by the localization of a state superposition, in the example of a null-measurement record predicted by quantum trajectory theory. The underlying evolution is mediated by an unstable state (which often splits to a complex of states), identified by the conditioned density matrix and the corresponding quasiprobability distribution of the cavity field. The unstable state subsequently decays to the vacuum to complete the jump. Coherence in the localization allows for inverting the null-measurement photon average about its initial value, to account for the full switch which typically lasts a small fraction of the cavity lifetime. This mechanism is contrasted to the jumps leading from the vacuum to the high-photon state in the bistable signal. Spontaneous emission degrades coherence in the localization, and prolongs the jumps.

We find that a transition to a self-organized phase takes place at a critical value of the pump strength.
Surprisingly, at even larger pump strengths two self-organized stable solutions of the cavity field and the atoms occur, signaling the presence of a bistability.

We study driven collective radiation of an ensemble of atoms placed inside a cavity.
One of these states is entangled and closely resembles a coherently radiating spin state.
Remarkably, this suggests that the system may reside in an entangled CRSS-like state even in the presence of decorrelating individual decay.

Local quenches from initial states generated by a single spin-flip in either the true or the false vacuum state of the confining quantum Ising spin chain in ferromagnetic regime.
For confining quenches built upon the true vacuum, the propagating signal consists of superpositions of left and right-moving mesons escaping confinement.
For anti-confining quenches built upon the false vacuum it is composed of superpositions of left and right-moving bubbles which escape Wannier-Stark localisation.

The non-harmonic energy structure of the interacting ensemble allows this transition to be resonantly selected by the cavity.
Evidence of this purely dissipative mechanism should be observable in state-of-the-art cavity QED systems in the solid-state.
