We present an extensive introduction to quantum collision models (CMs), also known as
repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

Abstract The Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), a soluble fully quantum mechanical model of
an atom in a field, was first used (in 1963) to examine the classical aspects of spontaneous …

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 …

In this paper we review the current state of progress in research on squeezed light. We
discuss the basic theory of squeezing and the nature of quantum noise in optical fields. We …

The dynamics of the interaction of a single Rydberg atom with a single mode of an
electromagnetic field in a superconducting cavity was investigated. Velocity-selected atoms …

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 …

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 …

Ever since Einstein demonstrated that spontaneous emission must occur if matter and
radiation are to achieve thermal equilibrium, physicists have generally believed that excited …

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 …

Although the crystal structures of the copper oxide high-temperature superconductors are
complex and diverse, they all contain some crystal planes consisting of only copper and …
