Abstract

In a model polariton system, we find a unitary operator which transforms canonically from the uncoupled states to the coupled states of the phonon-photon system. We investigate the ground-state properties of the system and show that when the polariton system is in its lowest energy state (the vacuum state), which means that no radiation occurs, the phonon and photon subsystems can exhibit nonclassical behavior.
