Abstract

We consider the lattice analog of a recently proposed continuum model for the propagation of one- and two-photon states in a random medium. We find that there is localization of single photons in an energy band centered at the resonant energy of the atoms. Moreover, there is also localization of photons at arbitrarily large energies. For the case of two photons, there is localization in an energy band centered at twice the resonant frequency.

Comments

This paper contains a mathematical error which invalidates the proof of Theorems 1 and 2. A study of the same model with variants of Theorems 1 and 2 by the authors is now available at arXiv:2407.14109
