Pairing superbunching with compounded non-linearity in a resonant transition
arXiv:2003.05717 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.102.023713
Abstract
Through a quantitative analysis of an atomic transition driven strongly by quantized electromagnetic fields of various quantum states, we explore the role of quantum fluctuations on the behavior of the system. The emphasis is on fields with super-Poissonian statistics manifested in photon bunching, with the case of squeezed vacuum radiation serving as a prototype of superbuching. When combined with non-linearly coupling of the resonant states, bunching and superbunching lead to counter-intuitive behavior. The connection to recent progress in squeezed vacuum sources and the opportunity for experimental investigation, as well as challenging open theoretical problems are also outlined.
