• Abstract summary: We investigate alternative initial states inducing a more complex time evolution. Superposition states of the fully inverted Dicke state and the Dicke ground state with unequal mutual weights are studied. Superradiance stemming from atoms in clusters separated by more than one wavelength is also studied.

• Abstract: Collective emission behavior is usually described by the decay dynamics of the completely symmetric Dicke states. To study a more realistic scenario, we investigate alternative initial states inducing a more complex time evolution. Superposition states of the fully inverted Dicke state and the Dicke ground state with unequal mutual weights are studied as examples as well as superradiance stemming from atoms in clusters separated by more than one wavelength. The Monte Carlo wave function method serves as framework to study the dynamics of quantum states, which is determined by quantum jumps on the one hand and continuous evolution dynamics on the other hand. We compare this method with the classical picture of a system of rate equations written for the diagonal components of the density matrix.

  We solve the dynamics analytically by employing tools from symplectic geometry. We find that the squeezing present in the full Hamiltonian and in the initial state governs the deviation from the approximated evolution. We also show that the rotating wave approximation is recovered for resonant frequencies and vanishing coupling to frequency ratio.

  We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping. A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

We show that the external coupling between the collective states associated with the symmetry of the array and with the quasi-flat dispersion of the corresponding infinite lattice plays a crucial role in the boost of their radiative lifetime.

  We present a variational Monte Carlo algorithm for estimating the lowest excited states of a quantum system. We show that it works well in conjunction with recent work on using neural networks as variational Ansatze for many-electron systems. We expect this technique will be of great interest for applications of variational quantum Monte Carlo to atomic, nuclear and condensed matter physics.

• Quasi-equilibrium and quantum correlation in an open spin-pair system [0.0]
  Quasi-equilibrium states that can be prepared in solids through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques are out-of-equilibrium states that slowly relax towards thermodynamic equilibrium with the lattice. In this work, we use the quantum discord dynamics as a witness of the quantum correlation in this kind of state.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

  We investigate early-time equilibration rates of observables in closed many-body quantum systems. We find evidence for this coincidence when the initial conditions are sufficiently generic, or typical. Our findings are confirmed by proving that these different timescales coincide for dynamics generated by Haar-random Hamiltonians.

  We develop a measurement operator formalism to handle quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement induced entanglement generation between two atomic gases. We show several mathematical identities which greatly simplify the state evolution in the projection sequence. Our formalism does not use the Holstein-Primakoff approximation as is conventionally done, and treats the spins of the atomic gases in an exact way.
