To the numerical simulation of the correlation picture in Dicke superradiance

Abstract

The paper discusses some approaches to elucidating the picture of electromagnetic field correlations emerging and developing in the Dicke system of two-level atoms interacting via field. Based on the reduced description method, a set of differential equations for the reduced description parameters including field correlation functions is constructed using different quantum evolution pictures and regarding field-matter interaction as a small parameter. Calculations are based on the electrodynamics of continuous media. Meaningful results are obtained in the second-order in interaction. The material equations are found in the class of generalized functions and the material coefficients are estimated in the dependence of coordinates for applying to the spatial description of correlations. Initial and border conditions are discussed. A simplified form of the set of equations is proposed for the initial stage of the process with the supposition about the fixed orientation of emitters acceptable for a one-dimensional system.
