- Abstract: How does a driven system with many energy levels approach its steady state?
Insights are gained by studying a system with three energy levels when the
ground state is excited by a laser. The time-dependent occupation probabilities
of the three energy levels show students how the system develops in time. The
occupation probabilities come from the numerical solution of the Liouville-von
Neumann equations for the density operator matrix elements when relaxation is
included. A combination of the Interaction Picture, the Rotating Wave
Approximation, and the assumption of resonance permit the eigenvalues of the
Liouville-von Neumann equations to be found numerically and in closed-form in
certain limits. The two methods are complementary and help students understand
time-dependent systems. In addition, the eigenvalues allow the short-time and
the long-time occupation probabilities to be connected to the relaxation
parameters and the magnitude of the laser's electric field. Thus, this model
three-level system illuminates how a driven system behaves over time and
provides guidance for students studying time-dependent systems.

We study the quantum thermodynamics of a coherent macroscopic electromagnetic field (laser) coupled to a two-level system (qubit) near resonance.
We show that the laser acts as an autonomous work source and that, in the macroscopic limit, the work produced is independent of the phase of the laser.
Treating the laser as an external field in known to yield expressions for the work which are in contradiction with quantum thermodynamics predictions in the strong drive regime.

Two systems for a charged particle are studied, the first one when it is under the effect of a constant electric field, and the second one when it is under the effect of a constant electromagnetic field.
For both systems, it is possible to find time-dependent conserved operators that can be used to derive time-dependent wave functions.

Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems.
In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics.
We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.
