Special Polynomials in Problems of Quantum Optics

Abstract

For a general Raman-type model describing the decay of a pumping mode into p components special polynomials are introduced. Asymptotic properties of those polynomials are discussed when the number of excitations tends to infinity. In the investigation of interaction between radiation and media, a number of mathematical complexities arises. The simplest example is the modeling of radiation scattering by excitations of a crystal lattice. Some of the contradictions are caused by the peculiarities of the second quantization method, which is used effectively for quadratic Hamiltonians only. Another problem is the determination of the energy states of the investigated media, which is a problem of eigenvalues. Mathematically we are to examine some system of polynomials connecting each other by a recurrency, which is analogous to the classical case. In this paper we consider the mathematical problems arising therein.

Balance equations in semi-relativistic quantum hydrodynamics

“…Other terms correspond to the classical current-current terms in the right-hand side of energy balance equation (15), but as in the case of tensor of the flux of particle current (30) they give a quantum contribution. So we have an analog of the quantum Bohm potential.…”

Evolution of Fock States in Three Mixed Harmonic Oscillators: Quantum Statistics

“…This model can be applied to describe various optical phenomena, e.g. to find analogies between frequency converter and beam splitter [3], two-level atom driven by a single mode of electromagnetic field [4], and Raman scattering [3,5]. The quantum properties of parametric frequency converter are discussed in [6].…”

Interaction of Two-Level Atomic System with a Single-Mode Radiation Field

“…The corr ections to zero'th order approximation come from the spontaneous radiative pro cesses and Lamb shift, atomic thermal collisions, recoiling effects and Doppler shift. The spontaneous radiative corrections produce a shift Su]» '" T/T '" 1O-3eV where T '" 10- 15 S is a typical period of the radiation field and T '" 10- 12 S is a typical lifetime for atomic energy scales. These corrections can grow as the number of energy levels in the atom gets larger nevertheless it can still be considered as a perturbative correctionj l].…”
