Quantum Many-Body Dynamics of Driven-Dissipative Rydberg Polaritons

Abstract: We study the propagation of strongly interacting Rydberg polaritons through an atomic medium in a one-dimensional optical lattice. We derive an effective single-band Hubbard model to describe the dynamics of the dark state polaritons under realistic assumptions. Within this model, we analyze the driven-dissipative transport of polaritons through the system by considering a coherent drive on one side and by including the spontaneous emission of the metastable Rydberg state. Using a variational approch to solve … Show more

“…Evolution of such an open many-body system is often governed by the master equation ∂ t ρ = −i[H, ρ] + Lρ, where ρ is the state of the system, H the system Hamiltonian and L is the Liouvillian superoperator (Benatti and Floreanini, 2005;Gardiner and Zoller, 2004;Manzano, 2020). Correspondingy, several aspects of driven-dissipative dynamics in Rydberg systems and dissipative Rydberg media were addressed (Bienias et al, 2020;Goldschmidt et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2015Lee et al, , 2019Lesanovsky and Garrahan, 2013;Letscher et al, 2017;Levi et al, 2016;Pistorius et al, 2020;Torlai et al, 2019).…”

“…Theoretically, there has therefore also been focus on models that are more tractable: for example, rate equations were proposed to describe the Rydberg gas [20][21][22]; the Mandel Q parameter was studied under reversible dynamics [23] and using random sequential adsorption (RSA) processes on an Erdős-Rényi random graph (ERRG) [24]; and the physics of Rydberg atoms has e.g., been related to a nonlinear optical polarizability model [25] as well as glassy soft-matter models [26,27]. Also, ties to classical statistics can be found in related Ising models, dissipative approaches, and open quantum systems [28][29][30][31].…”
