TLDR
In this article, a canonical treatment of the time-dependent field modes leads to predictions of the changes in the electric and magnetic field intensities, and in the photon statistics, for sufficiently small times.Abstract:
The Maxwell equations for the field in a cavity are modified to include the effect of irradiation by a reservoir of two-level atoms. A canonical treatment of the time-dependent field modes leads to predictions of the changes in the electric and magnetic field intensities, and in the photon statistics, for sufficiently small times. Coherent states evolve to squeezed states. The frequency converter and possible resonance phenomena are discussed.read more

The propagator for a charged oscillator with a time-dependent mass in a time-varying electromagnetic field
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a change of variables and a time reparametrization in the Schrodinger equation in order to obtain the propagator of a charged oscillator with a time-dependent mass and frequency under the influence of time-varying electric and magnetic fields, in terms of simple propagators of harmonic oscillators with constant frequencies and masses.

Quantum mechanics of the damped pulsating oscillator
TL;DR: In this paper, a harmonic oscillator subject to the combined effects of damping and pulsating is represented by a Kanai-Caldirola Hamiltonian and the equations of motion are solved in the Heisenberg picture in the case of weak pulsation.

Comparison of quantum and semiclassical radiation theories with application to the beam maser
E.T. Jaynes,F.W. Cummings +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the semiclassical theory, when extended to take into account both the effect of the field on the molecules and the effects of the molecules on the field, reproduces the same laws of energy exchange and coherence properties as the quantized field theory, even in the limit of one or a few quanta in the field mode.

Observation of cavity-enhanced single-atom spontaneous emission
TL;DR: It has been observed that the spontaneous-emission lifetime of Rydberg atoms is shortened by a large ratio when these atoms are crossing a high-Q$ superconducting cavity tuned to resonance with a millimeter-wave transition between adjacent Ryd Berg states as mentioned in this paper.

Quantum Fluctuations and Noise in Parametric Processes. I.
TL;DR: In this article, a quantum mechanical model for parametric interactions is used to evaluate the effect of the measuring (amplifying) process on the statistical properties of radiation, and it is shown that it allows a simultaneous determination of the phase and number of quanta of an electromagnetic wave with an accuracy which is limited only by the uncertainty principle.
