Control of one-photon wavepacket interacting with two separated atoms in a one-dimensional waveguide: Influence of real and virtual photons
Year: 2014
Type: preprint
Abstract: We present a theoretical study of one photon wave-packet scattered by two atoms in one dimensional waveguide, stressing on both the spectral and the temporal behavior. Rotating wave approximation is not done to take into account the effects of the virtual photons that are exchanged between the atoms. These photons are shown to influence drastically the spectrum of both the reflected and the transmitted fields. In the temporal domain, the envelopes of these fields are shown to obey strict constraints on their shape.
