Abstract

We present a method to perform a variational analysis of the quantum master equation for driven-disspative bosonic fields with arbitrary large occupation numbers. Our approach combines the P representation of the density matrix and the variational principle for open quantum system. We benchmark the method by comparing it to wave-function Monte-Carlo simulations and the solution of the Maxwell-Bloch equation for the Jaynes-Cummings model. Furthermore, we study a model describing Rydberg polaritons in a cavity field and introduce an additional set of variational paramaters to describe correlations between different modes.
