Atom-Field Interactions: Density-Matrix Equations Including Quantization of theCenter-of-Mass Motion

摘要

Master equations are derived for the time evolution of density-matrix elementscharacterizing atoms interacting with classical radiation fields that drive transitions between electronic-state manifolds of levels. The atomic center-of-mass motion is quantized and recoil accompanying absorption, stimulated emission, and spontaneous emission is included. An adiabatic elimination of the optical
