Dynamic One-Photon Localization in a Discrete Model of Quantum Optics
Abstract
Abstract. We consider a recently proposed model for the propagation of one-photon states in a random medium of two-level atoms. We demonstrate the existence of Anderson localization of single-photon states in an energy band centered at the resonant energy of the atoms. Additionally, for a bosonic model of the atoms the results can be extended to multi-photon states.
