Microscopic model
Transformation to normal modes:

Microscopic model
Treatment of electron-dressed phonon interactionvia polaron transformation:
electron-dressed phonon coupling

Microscopic model
We treat dressed phonons as a bath in a thermal state:
Bath effects are treated using standard second-order perturbation theory:
First order yields coherent coupling

Equations of motion for averagesAssumptions:
Correlations of higher than second order are neglected!

Equations of motion for averagesDegrees of freedom of dye molecules:
coherentcoupling relaxation
We have competition between coherent and dissipative influence of the bath!

BEC or LASER?
Weak influence of collisions with the solvent:

• Correlation functions e.g.
• Phase diagrams
• Stability issues
• Temporal behavior/relaxation
• Higher order truncation schemes…
