Point-coupling Hamiltonian for frequency-independent linear optical devices

Abstract: We present the point-coupling Hamiltonian as a model for frequency-independent linear optical devices acting on propagating optical modes described as a continua of harmonic oscillators. We formally integrate the Heisenberg equations of motion for this Hamiltonian, calculate its quantum scattering matrix, and show that an application of the quantum scattering matrix on an input state is equivalent to applying the inverse of classical scattering matrix on the annihilation operators describing the optical modes.… Show more

“…We make no attempt at a thorough review of input-output theory, collisional models, or quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs) as well as their relation to quantum optical problems. Interested readers are directed to recent pedagogical treatments [30,[69][70][71][72], which themselves are based on foundational work [19,21,73,74].…”

“…Like every other difficult problem, we need to shift our perspective and tackle the problem with a solid intuition and a clear motivation. The intuition comes from the locality of interactions between qubits due to point-coupling [40], whereas the motivation stems from a nearly century old question arisen from Fermi's 1932 paper [41], which still needs to be answered for waveguide QED.…”
