Output field squeezing in a weakly-driven dissipative quantum Rabi model

Abstract

Abstract We present a generalized method to address the squeezing spectrum of the output field for a weakly-driven, dissipative quantum Rabi model and calculate it for a range of coupling strengths covering strong, ultra-strong and deep-strong coupling regimes. The need for a generalization arises because of the periodic time dependence of the correlation functions due to counter rotating terms in the quantum Rabi model. We here adopt time-averaging over such correlation functions to obtain the squeezing spectrum, which may also be relevant to experimental situations. We compare the calculated squeezing spectra with those of the driven dissipative Jaynes–Cummings model to illustrate the departure from the latter as the interaction strength increases. Our calculation shows that the overall squeezing increases with the interaction strength after optimization over the system-bath coupling strength and the driving field strength.
