We employ a squeeze operator transformation approach to solve the anisotropic quantum Rabi model that includes a diamagnetic term. By carefully adjusting the amplitude of the diamagnetic term, we demonstrate that the anisotropic Rabi model with the $A^2$ term can be exactly reduced to either a Jaynes-Cummings or an anti-Jaynes-Cummings model withou...

We provide an analytical framework for describing the propagation of light in waveguide arrays, considering both infinite and semi-infinite cases. The interaction up to second neighbors is taken into account, which makes for a more realistic setup. We show that these solutions follow a distinctive structural pattern. This pattern reflects a transit...

We present a detailed derivation of the Poynting vector for Cauchy-Riemann beams propagating in free space considering a Gaussian modulation with $g \in \mathbb{C}$. The effect generated by this Gaussian modulation is a compression-expansion of the intensity distribution. It is shown that the parameter $g$ can reverse the direction of energy flux a...

We analyze the Markovian dynamics of a quantum system involving the interaction of two quantized fields at finite temperature decay. Utilizing superoperator techniques and applying two non-unitary transformations, we reformulate the Lindblad master equation into a von Neumann-like equation with an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Furthermore, a...

In the framework of the Jaynes–Cummings model, we investigate how atomic lineshapes are affected by coherently driving the atom–field interaction. We pay particular attention to the two-level atom interaction with a thermal cavity field when both are influenced by external classical fields. Adopting a density matrix formalism, we calculate the aver...

Leveraging operator techniques, we address the paraxial wave equation governing a field formed by the multiplication of a Gaussian function and an entire function; notably, the latter adheres to the Laplace equation, ∇⊥2f(x+iy)=0, a direct consequence of satisfying the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Our theoretical and experimental exploration brings to...

We present a new family of Bessel solutions of the paraxial equation. Such solutions keep their form during propagation due to a quadratic phase factor that makes them scaled propagation invariant fields.

We show that the Kapitza–Dirac effect may be modeled by classical light propagation in photonic lattices having a square power law for the refraction index coefficient.

Introducing a Kerr medium in a cavity coupled to a harmonically moving mirror, we reproduce known and solvable interactions such as two-coupled harmonic oscillators and ion-laser like interactions for specific conditions. This is achieved by a unitary transformation allowing us to tune off the Kerr medium in order to simplify the Hamiltonian.

We use the Fourier operator to transform a time dependent mass quantum harmonic oscillator into a frequency dependent one. Then we use Lewis-Ermakov invariants to solve the Schr\"odinger equation by using squeeze operators. Finally we give two examples of time dependencies: quadratically and hyperbolically growing masses.
