Stationary states of the Jaynes Cummings model with atomic centre-of-mass quantum motion: analytical approximation to transfer counterpropagating waves into a standing wave in a large photon number limit

Abstract: The eigenstate problem of the Jaynes–Cummings model on the basis of a complete Hamiltonian, including the centre-of-mass kinetic energy operator, is considered. The energy spectrum and wavefunctions in the standing-wave (SW) and counterpropagating-wave (CPW) cases are calculated and compared with each other. It is shown that in the CPW case: (i) the atomic momentum distribution is asymmetric; (ii) the concept of quasimomentum is not applicable and instead the problem concerns the ordinary momentum; (iii) atomi… Show more

“…Hence, it is possible to ana-lyze these systems without destroying them, in contrast to the time-of-flight imaging technique used for ultracold quantum gases. Since the atoms are trapped inside the cavities right from the start and their thermal motion does not quantitatively disturb the polariton dynamics [52], BEC experiments with cavity QED setups can thus be performed even at room temperatures [53]. However, in order to facilitate stable experiments with this setup, one needs a strong coupling between light and matter in order to reduce the losses induced by the spontaneous emission.…”

“…The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this infinite Hamiltonian are not known in the general case but approximate analytical results may be found, see Refs. [30,31,32,33]. For example, one interesting approximation, related to the Raman-Nath limit, is when the q 2 -terms are neglected and it may be solved analytically.…”

“…For such a system, an extended JC model including atomic centre of mass motion and a standing wave coupling has been studied in a large number of papers, here we just mention a few. The dynamics has been analysed in, for example, [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33], while in [30,31,32,33], approximation methods are used, such as Raman-Nath, Bragg, tight-binding or large detuning. In the Raman-Nath approximation, the kinetic energy term is neglected, and this has been assumed in Refs.…”
