Quantized-resonance description of a quantum emitter dynamics in a lossy multimode cavity
Abstract
In the multimode regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED), light-matter coupling can be strong enough such as to allows a quantum emitter to couple with multiple resonant field modes. This regime leaves distinctive signatures in the behavior of both the field and the emitter, which are already accessible by modern experimental techniques. To model such effects in lossy cavities, effective discrete-mode approaches have been widely employed, despite their accuracy beyond two modes remaining rarely benchmarked. In this work, we demonstrate the necessity of employing multiple modes to describe the multimode signatures by analyzing the dynamics of an atom in a one-dimensional lossy resonator. The atom's dynamics is simulated using the formalism developed in Weitzel et al. (2026) (arXiv:2512.18478), where a resonance quantization prescription is provided. We investigate its dependency with respect to two different parameters: the light-matter coupling strength and the atom's position. In the former case, we find that the minimal number of modes necessary to capture the essential features of the atom's dynamics increases with the coupling strength. In the latter, we further observe that the multimode regime leads to a strong position-dependency of the atom's dynamics. In all cases, we discuss the physical interpretation of our results and further discuss about how the employed formalism can be used to recover physically relevant quantities.
