Photonic Kondo-like model

We introduce and study a photonic analog of the Kondo model. The model is defined as a far-detuned regime of photonic scattering off a three-level emitter in a Λ-type configuration coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide with linear dispersion. We study dynamics of this local emitter driven by a coherent field pulse as well as the first- and second-order correlation functions of a scattered light. Various polarization-dependent correlation effects and an entanglement between the emitter and transmitted photons are quantified by the purity of an emitter's state. We also show that statistical properties of the scattered light are very sensitive to a polarization of the incoming coherent pulse.
