Photon-resolved Floquet theory. II. Open quantum systems

Photon-resolved Floquet theory keeps track of the photon exchange of a quantum system with a coherent driving field. It thus complements the standard full-counting statistics that counts the number of photons exchanged with incoherent photon modes giving rise to dissipation. In this paper, we introd...

Resumo:Photon-resolved Floquet theory keeps track of the photon exchange of a quantum system with a coherent driving field. It thus complements the standard full-counting statistics that counts the number of photons exchanged with incoherent photon modes giving rise to dissipation. In this paper, we introduce a unifying framework describing both situations. We develop methods suitable for an analytical evaluation of low-order cumulants of photonic probability distributions. Within this framework we analyze the two-mode Jaynes-Cummings model to demonstrate that the photon-resolved Floquet theory and the standard full-counting statistics make consistent statistical predictions. Interestingly, we find that the photon-flux fluctuations diverge for vanishing dissipation, which can be related to an entanglement effect between the driven matter system and the driving field. To substantiate our results, we use our framework to describe efficient photon up-conversion in an ac-driven lambda system, that is characterized by a high signal-to-noise ratio. Because the framework is nonperturbative and predicts fluctuations, it paves the way toward nonperturbative spectroscopy, which will assist to improve metrological methods.
