Phys. Rev. A 75, 043802 (2007) [11 pages]Field-emitter bound states in structured thermal reservoirsReceived 2 September 2006; published 3 April 2007 We derive a master equation for a two-level emitter interacting with a band-gap reservoir at finite temperatures. This equation is able to capture effects of emitter-reservoir entanglement. We show that the entangled field-emitter bound state, which arises in the process of interaction, does not survive indefinitely at finite temperatures. However, such an entangled state may be effectively excited through an intensive incoherent driving. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
