Dissipative phase transition in an open Tavis-Cummings model with a two-photon drive

Abstract

We investigate the steady-state quantum phases and associated collective phenomena of an open Tavis-Cummings (TC) model driven by a two-photon source. The standard (non-dissipative) TC model describes the quantum phases of an ensemble of N ( q ) two-level quantum emitters interacting with a single-mode electromagnetic field. The interplay among coherent driving, dissipation, and dipole interactions of the open TC model results in emergent collective phenomena, leading to a dissipative or non-equilibrium phase transition from the normal to the superradiant phase. We solve the Liouvillian equation analytically using the semi-classical mean-field approximation. We carry out stability analysis of the steady-state phases and determine the phase boundary.
