The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Interactions between light and matter play an instrumental role in spectroscopy, sensing,
quantum information processing and lasers. In most of these applications, light is considered …

Microwave photons trapped in a superconducting cavity constitute an ideal system to realize
some of the thought experiments imagined by the founding fathers of quantum physics. The …

We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

Distributed quantum networks will allow users to perform tasks and to interact in ways which
are not possible with present-day technology. Their implementation is a key challenge for …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

Elements of Quantum Optics gives a self-contained and broad coverage of the basic
elements necessary to understand and carry out research in laser physics and quantum …

This paper reviews the work on cavity quantum electrodynamics of free atoms. In recent
years, cavity experiments have also been conducted on a variety of solid-state systems …

We revisit a question asked by Dyson:“Is a graviton detectable?” We demonstrate that in
both Dyson's original sense and in a more modern measurement-theoretic sense, it is …

Simultaneous observation of wave and particle behaviour is prohibited, usually by the
position–momentum uncertainty relation. New detectors, constructed with the aid of modern …
