N-Photon Wavepackets Interacting with an Arbitrary Quantum System    [PDF]

Ben Q. Baragiola, Robert L. Cook, Agata M. Branczyk, Joshua Combes
We present a theoretical framework that describes a wavepacket of light
prepared in a state of definite photon number interacting with an arbitrary
quantum system (e.g. a quantum harmonic oscillator or a multi-level atom).
Within this framework we derive master equations for the system as well as for
output field quantities such as quadratures and photon flux. These results are
then generalized to wavepackets with arbitrary spectral distribution functions.
Finally, we obtain master equations and output field quantities for systems
interacting with wavepackets in multiple spatial and/or polarization modes.
