Open quantum systems (OQSs) cannot always be described with the Markov approximation,
which requires a large separation of system and environment time scales. An overview is …

Stochastic Schrödinger equations for quantum trajectories offer an alternative and
sometimes superior approach to the study of open quantum system dynamics. Here we …

The interrelationship between the non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations and the
corresponding non-Markovian master equations is investigated in the finite-temperature …

In the first part of this introductory review we outline the developments in photonic band gap
materials from the physics of photonic band gap formation to the fabrication and potential …

We have observed strongly modified spontaneous-emission spectra from laser dye in
photonic crystals made of inverse opals in titania (TiO 2). We identify stop bands with large …

We study the spontaneous emission, absorption, and dispersion properties of a Λ-type atom
where one transition interacts near resonantly with a double-band photonic crystal …

A theoretical model that takes into full account the vectorial nature of electromagnetic (EM)
fields is developed to investigate various types of quantum electrodynamics (QED) in a three …

We investigate the spontaneous radiation from a two-level atom embedded in a three-
dimensional anisotropic photonic crystal with two bands. The properties of the spontaneous …

Stochastic Schrödinger equations are used to describe the dynamics of a quantum open
system in contact with a large environment, as an alternative to the commonly used master …

Quantum interferences in spontaneous emission spectrum from a V-type three-level and a
double V-type four-level atom embedded in a double-band photonic band-gap material …
