• Title: Effective models for quantum optics with multilayer open cavities
• Authors: Astghik Saharyan, Juan-Rafael Álvarez, Axel Kuhn, Stéphane Guérin,
• Abstract summary: We study the dynamics of an open cavity using a novel approach where the outside is treated as part of the system. In particular, we show that due to the effects induced by the multilayer nature of the cavity mirror, the cavity-reservoir system description might differ from the one where the structure of the mirror is neglected.

• Abstract: Effective models to describe the dynamics of an open cavity have been extensively discussed in the literature. In many of these models the cavity leakage to the outside is treated as a loss introduced phenomenologically. In contrast to these, we focus here on characterizing the outgoing photon using a novel approach where the outside is treated as part of the system. In such a global system, in order to separately characterize the photon inside and outside cavity, we demonstrate a first-principle derivation of a coherent cavity-reservoir coupling function for cavities with mirrors consisting of a stack of dielectric layers. In particular, we show that due to the effects induced by the multilayer nature of the cavity mirror, even in the standardly defined high-finesse cavity regime, the cavity-reservoir system description might differ from the one where the structure of the mirror is neglected. Based on this, we define a generalized cavity response function and a cavity-reservoir coupling function, which account for the longitudinal geometric structure of the cavity mirror. This allows us to define an effective reflectivity for the cavity with a multilayer mirror as if it was sitting in a well-defined effective mirror plane. We estimate the error of such a definition by considering cavities of different lengths and mirror structures. Finally, we apply this model to characterize the dynamics of a single photon produced in such a cavity and propagating outside.

• Dissipative and dispersive cavity optomechanics with a frequency-dependent mirror [0.0]
  microcavity-based optomechanical systems are placed in the unresolved-sideband regime, preventing sideband-based ground-state cooling. We analyze such an optomechanical system, whereby one of the mirrors is strongly frequency-dependent, i.e., a suspended Fano mirror. We formulate a quantum-coupled-mode description that includes both the standard dispersive optomechanical coupling as well as dissipative coupling.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  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.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

  The generation of photons from the vacuum by means of the movement of a mirror is known as the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) We study the most straightforward system for the mirror: a qubit moving in a cavity and coupled to one of the bosonic modes. We find that under certain conditions on the qubit's movement that do not depend on its physical properties, a large number of photons may be generated without changing the qubit state.
