摘要:

平均场处理(MFT)常被用于近似预测量子光学系统的动力学,通过忽略某些受强驱动或与其他模式耦合较弱的模式来简化系统哈密顿量。但在实际量子系统中,不同模式间的量子关联可能引发意料之外的量子效应,导致系统动力学出现显著差异。本文提出一种基于微扰理论结合MFT的通用系统理论框架,用于捕捉这些量子效应。研究预测了非线性耗散和寄生哈密顿量的形式,其大小与非线性耦合率成反比。此外,还提出了用于衡量平均场处理准确性的指标。我们将该理论应用于普遍采用平均场处理的量子频率转换实例,以测试其在强泵浦和大耦合强度下的局限性。解析结果与数值模拟表现出极佳的一致性。本工作清晰揭示了平均场处理下伴随产生的量子效应,为描述量子光学系统提供了更精确的理论框架。

英文摘要:

Mean-field treatment (MFT) is frequently applied to approximately predict the dynamics of quantum optics systems, to simplify the system Hamiltonian through neglecting certain modes that are driven strongly or couple weakly with other modes. While in practical quantum systems, the quantum correlations between different modes might lead to unanticipated quantum effects and lead to significantly distinct system dynamics. Here, we provide a general and systematic theoretical framework based on the perturbation theory in company with the MFT to capture these quantum effects. The form of nonlinear dissipation and parasitic Hamiltonian are predicted, which scales inversely with the nonlinear coupling rate. Furthermore, the indicator is also proposed as a measure of the accuracy of mean-field treatment. Our theory is applied to the example of quantum frequency conversion, in which mean-field treatment is commonly applied, to test its limitation under strong pump and large coupling strength. The analytical results show excellent agreement with the numerical simulations. Our work clearly reveals the attendant quantum effects under mean-field treatment and provides a more precise theoretical framework to describe quantum optics systems.
