After giving an outline of the quantization scheme based on the microscopic Hopfield model of a dielectric bulk material, we show how the classical phenomenological Maxwell equations of the electromagnetic field in the presence of dielectric matter of given space- and frequency-dependent complex permittivity can be transferred to quantum theory. Including in the theory the interaction of the medium-assisted field with atomic systems, we present both the minimal-coupling Hamiltonian and the multipolar-coupling Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge. To illustrate the concept, we discuss the input--output relations of radiation and the transformation of radiation-field quantum states at absorbing four-port devices, and the spontaneous decay of an excited atom near the surface of an absorbing body and in a spherical micro-cavity with intrinsic material losses. Finally, we give an extension of the quantization scheme to other media such as amplifying media, magnetic media, and nonlinear media.

Three-dimensional canonical quantum plasmonics for finite media: exact solution in terms of the classical Green tensor
The electric field operator for a finite dispersive medium is expressed exactly through the classical Green tensor, and the Purcell factor reduces to the standard bulk formula through an exact cancellation of two cont...

Molecular triplets and other metastable states for excitonic quantum batteries
Metastable dark states (triplets, fission pairs, charge-separated states) can extend excitonic quantum battery storage lifetimes by orders of magnitude, at the cost of efficiency and scalability trade-offs.
