Quantum light depolarization: The phase-space perspective
A. B. Klimov, José Luis Romero, Luis Lorenzo Sánchez-Soto, ANTONINO MESSINA, Anna Napoli · Physical Review A · 2008
Quantum light depolarization is handled through a master equation obtained by coupling dispersively the field to a randomly distributed atomic reservoir. This master equation is solved by transforming it into a quasiprobability distribution in phase space and the quasiclassical limit is investigated.
