Solving the scattering of N photons on a two-level atom without computation

We propose a novel approach for solving the scattering of light onto a two-level atom coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. First we express the physical quantity of interest in terms of Feynman diagrams and treat the atom as a non-saturable linear beamsplitter. By using the atomic response to our...
