Light matter quantum dynamics of complex laser-driven systems

Abstract

We propose a novel general approximation to transform and simplify the description of a complex fully quantized system describing the interacting light and matter. The method has some similarities to the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approach: we consider a quantum description of light rather than of nuclei and follow a similar separation procedure. Our approximation allows us to obtain a decoupled system for the light-excited matter and "dressed"light connected parametrically. With these equations at hand, we study how intense light as a quantum state is affected due to the back-action of the interacting matter. We discuss and demonstrate the possibility of the light-mode entanglement and nonclassical light generation during the interaction.
