Basic properties of a mean field laser equation (2006.13001v1)

Abstract: We study the non-linear quantum master equation describing a laser under the mean field approximation. The quantum system is formed by a single mode optical cavity and two level atoms, which interact with reservoirs. Namely, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the regular solution to the non-linear operator equation under consideration, as well as we get a probabilistic representation for this solution in terms of a mean field stochastic Schr\"ondiger equation. To this end, we find a regular solution for the non-autonomous linear quantum master equation in Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad form, and we prove the uniqueness of the solution to the non-autonomous linear adjoint quantum master equation in Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad form. Moreover, we obtain rigorously the Maxwell-Bloch equations from the mean field laser equation.
