Nonclassical photon-bundle correlations in quantum Rabi models
Abstract:
We investigate nonclassical photon-bundle correlations in the quantum Rabi model and its extended cases, using the quantum dressed master equation. By tuning the light-matter coupling strength at finite temperature, the quantum Rabi model exhibits controllable nonclassical transitions between two-photon bundle bunching and antibunching, allowing for the two-photon-bundle emission and statistics. We further introduce anisotropic coupling and nonlinear Stark interactions, which enrich the photon statistical behaviors and provide additional tunability of photon-bundle correlations. Extreme correlation behaviors are found to be closely linked to excited-state quantum phase transitions, providing a potential pathway for predicting and exploiting excited-state phenomena. These effects can be controlled solely by tuning intrinsic system parameters, without the need for an external modulating field. The quantum Rabi model family thus provides a flexible and experimentally feasible platform for effective photon bundle generation and controllable multi-photon sources.

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
