The importance of being a Photon
µph =E
N= 0
Unlike massive particles Photons are not conserved in Nature
Photons have zero chemical potential!
The density of a Photon Gas is set by drive-dissipation or interaction with matter!
Think of QED!
Can we drive photons into steady states with non trivial
quantum correlations?
Two possible directions

Interplay of Drive and DissipationTime-Dependent Drive can be “often” gauged away by
going to a “rotating-frame”
(t) = †(t)(t)(t)
H(t) = i†(t)@t(t) †(t)H(t)(t)
@t = i[H(t), (t)]
In this rotating frame Hamiltonian becomes time-independent..
…but occupation of bath modes become non-equilibrium!
