We show that a spontaneous release of virtual photon pairs can occur in a quantum optical system in the ultrastrong coupling regime. In this regime, which is attracting interest both in semiconductor and superconducting systems, the light-matter coupling rate Ω(R) becomes comparable to the bare resonance frequency of photons ω(0). In contrast to the dynamical Casimir effect and other pair creation mechanisms, this phenomenon does not require external forces or time dependent parameters in the Hamiltonian.
我们表明,在超强耦合 regime 的量子光学系统中会发生虚光子对的自发释放。在这个 regime 中,其在半导体和超导系统中都引起了关注,光与物质的耦合率Ω(R)变得与光子的裸共振频率ω(0)相当。与动态卡西米尔效应和其他对产生机制不同,这种现象不需要哈密顿量中的外力或随时间变化的参数。
