Exact dissipation model for arbitrary photonic Fock state transport in waveguide QED systems
Abstract:
We present an exact dissipation model for correlated photon transport in waveguide QED systems. This model rigorously incorporates the infinitely many degrees of freedom of the full three-dimensional photonic scattering channels in the non-excitable ambient environment. We show that the photon leakages to the scattering channels can be accounted for by a reduced Hamiltonian and a restricted eigen-state, with a resultant atomic dissipation. This model is valid for arbitrary photonic Fock and coherent states.

Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the medium, μ.
