Theoretical Methods for Ultrastrong Light–Matter Interactions

Abstract: This article reviews theoretical methods developed in the last decade to understand cavity quantum electrodynamics in the ultrastrong-coupling regime, where the strength of the light-matter interaction becomes comparable to the photon frequency. Along with profound modifications of fundamental quantum optical effects giving rise to a rich phenomenology, this regime introduces significant theoretical challenges. One of the most important is the break-down of the rotating-wave approximation which neglects all no… Show more

“…However, even in this special case our exact numerical calculations confirm that the bound f g < 1 still holds. [60,61,62]. In this frame the cavity QED Hamiltonian can be written as [32,33,38,63]…”

“…Under the assumption that the system-bath interaction is weak, we can separately perturb both V c and V q to obtain the DME by including Born-Markov approxi-mation. Finally, the DME is described as [50,53]…”

“…Two-photon correlation function is widely considered as the main observable to characterize the nonclassicality of output photons, which is originally introduced by Glauber to investigate the optical coherence of quantum theory [49]. However, due to the realizations of ultrastrong qubit-photon coupling [5,6], the system-bath interaction should be properly treated in the eigenstate framework of the whole hybrid quantum systems [50][51][52][53]. In particular, Ridolfo et al recently proposed a modified definition of the two-photon correlation function to characterize steady-state photon statistics in the dissipative QRM [54][55][56][57], based the quantum dressed master equation (DME) [50].…”

“…Interest in the model and its extensions to multilevel systems and multiple modes continues, as such systems have presented many exciting experimental opportunities to explore rich physical phenomena [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. In particular, cavity and circuit QED experiments have proposed constructions of quantum switches [29][30][31][32][33], single-photon transistors [34], and various two-qubit gates [35,36].…”
