Cavity quantum electrodynamics in the presence of energy relaxation and pure dephasing: A unified quantum master-equation approach
Rui‐Xue Xu, YiJing Yan, Xinqi Li · Physical Review A · 2002
This paper renders two main results. One is a unified quantum master equation, which satisfies the detailed-balance relation and can serve as a convenient starting formulation to study the dissipative dynamics in a variety of systems in quantum optics and solid-state physics. Another is based on the proposed quantum master equation to study cavity quantum electrodynamics in the presence of ${T}_{1}$ energy relaxation and pure ${T}_{2}$ dephasing. Demonstrated in detail is also the effect of cavity field--absorber interaction on dissipation, which is neglected in the conventional theory.
