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 …

Seventy five years ago, three remarkable papers by Schrödinger, Kennard and Darwin were
published. They were devoted to the evolution of Gaussian wave packets for an oscillator, a …

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 …

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 …

We present here a quantum Carnot engine in which the atoms in the heat bath are given a
small bit of quantum coherence. The induced quantum coherence becomes vanishingly …

This book is intended to provide a much needed systematic exposition of the mathematical
methods of quantum optics, something that is not found in existing books. It is primarily …

We show that a micromaser is an excellent model of quantum battery. A highly excited, pure,
and effectively steady state of the cavity mode, charged by coherent qubits, can be achieved …

We use variances, entropy, and the Shannon entropy to analyse the fluctuations and
quantum evolution of various simple models of quantum optical resonance. We discuss at …

The evolution of the atomic state in the resonant Jaynes-Cummings model (a two-level atom
interacting with a single mode of the quantized radiation field) with the field initially in a …

We describe the first investigation of the nonclassical radiation field of a micromaser. The
maser cavity is cooled to 0.5 K to exclude thermal photons and has a quality factor 3× 10 10 …
