The refractive index of a single three-level atom experienced by a single photon

We study the propagation of a quantum field composed of a few photons interacting with a three-level Λ-atom driven by a coherent classical field. The quantum field acquires a phase shift, which can be interpreted as a dispersion effect on the photon wave packet and described by the refractive index...
