Scientific paper

We present a theoretical framework that describes a wavepacket of light prepared in a state of definite photon number interacting with an arbitrary quantum system (e.g. a quantum harmonic oscillator or a multi-level atom). Within this framework we derive master equations for the system as well as for output field quantities such as quadratures and photon flux. These results are then generalized to wavepackets with arbitrary spectral distribution functions. Finally, we obtain master equations and output field quantities for systems interacting with wavepackets in multiple spatial and/or polarization modes.
