Quantum light propagation in a uniformly moving dissipative slab
arXiv:1908.06385 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.101.043817
Abstract
Within the framework of a phenomenological quantization scheme, we present the quantization of the electromagnetic field in the presence of a moving absorptive and dispersive magneto-dielectric slab (MDS) with uniform velocity in the direction parallel to its interface. We derive the quantum input-output relations for the case that quantum states propagate perpendicularly to the moving MDS.We thoroughly investigate the impact of the motion of the movingMDS on quantum properties of the incident states. To illustrate this, by modeling the dispersive and dissipative effects of the slab by the Lorentz model in its rest frame, we compute the quadrature squeezing and the Mandel parameter for the transmitted state when the incident states from left and right sides are, respectively, the coherent and the quantum vacuum states. It is shown that how quantum features of the incident state are degraded when it is transmitted through the moving MDS.
