Quantum systems coupled to a structured reservoir with multiple excitations

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We present a method for dealing with quantum systems coupled to a structured reservoir with any density of modes and with more than one excitation. We apply the method to a two-level atom coupled to the edge of a photonic band gap and a defect mode. Results pertaining to this system, provide the solution to the problem of two photons in the reservoir and possible generalization is discussed.
