Effects of polariton squeezing on the emission of an atom embedded in a microcavity

TL;DR

This paper investigates how the intrinsic squeezing of polaritons inside a cavity influences atomic emission, proposing methods to detect polariton squeezing effects indirectly outside the cavity.

Contribution

It introduces the impact of polariton squeezing on atomic emission within a cavity and suggests ways to observe this squeezing externally.

Findings

Polariton squeezing alters atomic emission characteristics.

The study proposes an indirect method to detect polariton squeezing.

Squeezing modifies the emission spectrum of the atom.

Abstract

We are interested in the emission characteristics of an atom interacting with the polaritonic excitations of a semiconductor or insulator embedded in a one-mode cavity. Since polaritons inside of the cavity exhibit intrinsic squeezing, we discuss how the squeezed polariton ground state modifies the atomic emission and how an indirect evidence of polariton squeezing outside of he cavity may be obtained.
