色散工程和高度非线性纳米光子学的出现有望通过将高横向场限制与超短脉冲操作相结合，开辟一条通往量子光学强相互作用机制的全光路。然而，在这种宽带设备中获得光子动力学的全面理解，在多模非高斯量子物理的建模和模拟中提出了重大挑战，突出了对复杂简化模型的需求，这些模型有助于有效的数值研究，同时提供有用的物理见解。在这篇手稿中，我们回顾了我们最近的努力在不同层次的抽象和一般性的宽带光学系统建模，范围从多模扩展同步泵浦振荡器的量子输入输出理论的数值方法的发展的基础上的场论描述的非线性波导。我们希望我们的工作不仅能指导下一代量子器件的理论和实验工作，还能揭示宽带量子光子学的基本物理学。
The advent of dispersion-engineered and highly nonlinear nanophotonics is expected to open up an all-optical path towards the strong-interaction regime of quantum optics by combining high transverse field confinement with ultra-short-pulse operation. Obtaining a full understanding of photon dynamics in such broadband devices, however, poses major challenges in the modeling and simulation of multimode non-Gaussian quantum physics, highlighting the need for sophisticated reduced models that facilitate efficient numerical study while providing useful physical insight. In this manuscript, we review our recent efforts in modeling broadband optical systems at varying levels of abstraction and generality, ranging from multimode extensions of quantum input-output theory for sync-pumped oscillators to the development of numerical methods based on a field-theoretic description of nonlinear waveguides. We expect our work not only to guide ongoing theoretical and experimental efforts towards next-generation quantum devices but also to uncover essential physics of broadband quantum photonics.
