• Abstract: A fully quantum multiphonon up-pumping model is proposed to characterize coherent energy transfer in energetic materials (EMs) subjected to external shock. After eliminating the degrees of freedom of the phonon bath within a mean-field approximation, we derive a quantum master equation governing the energy transfer among vibrational modes. Our analysis reveals that doorway modes of different frequencies undergo distinct levels of effective coherent driving and dissipation, induced by the shocked phonon environment. This not only clarifies the microscopic origin of coherent phonon generation, but also reveals the possibility of modulating such coherent driving and dissipation. Based on numerical simulations of a simplified model using the master equation, we demonstrate how doorway modes extract energy from the phonon environment and subsequently excite higher-frequency molecular vibrational modes. This work offers a renewed perspective for understanding the mechanisms of energy transfer in energetic materials.

  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.
