Wave-particle correlations in multiphoton resonances of coherent light-matter interaction
arXiv:2402.09308 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.013250
Abstract
We discuss the conditional measurement of field amplitudes by a nonclassical photon sequence in the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model under multiphoton operation. We do so by employing a correlator of immediate experimental relevance to reveal a distinct nonclassical evolution in the spirit of [G. T. Foster et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85 3149 (2000)]. The correlator relies on the complementary nature of the pictures obtained from different unravelings of a JC source master equation. We demonstrate that direct photodetection entails a conditioned separation of timescales, a quantum beat and a semiclassical oscillation, produced by the coherent light-matter interaction in its strong-coupling limit. We single the quantum beat out in the analytical expression for the waiting-time distribution, pertaining to the particle nature of the scattered light, and find a negative spectrum of quadrature amplitude squeezing, characteristic of its wave nature for certain operation settings. Finally, we jointly detect the dual aspects through the wave-particle correlator, showing an asymmetric regression of fluctuations to the steady state which depends on the quadrature amplitude being measured.
