• Abstract: In this paper, we look into what happens to a quantum system under repeated measurements if system evolution is removed before each measurement is performed. Beginning with investigating a single two-level system coupled to two independent baths of harmonic oscillators, we move to replacing it with a large collection of such systems, thereby invoking the large spin-boson model. Whereas each of our two-level systems interacts strongly with one of the aforementioned baths, it interacts weakly with the other. A polaron transformation is used to make it possible for the problem in the strong coupling regime to be treated with perturbation theory. We find that the case involving a single two-level system exhibits qualitative and quantitative differences from the case involving a collection of them; however, the general effects of strong and weak couplings turn out to be the same as those in the presence of system evolution, something which allows us to establish that system evolution has no practical bearing on any of these effects.

  We show how strong coupling and memory effects influence the energy levels of open quantum systems. Measurements reveal a time-dependent shift in the system's energy levels of up to 15% of the bare system frequency. Our findings provide direct evidence of dynamic energy level renormalisation in strongly coupled open quantum systems.

• Non-destructively probing the thermodynamics of quantum systems with qumodes [0.6144680854063939]
  In quantum systems there is often a destruction of the system itself due to the means of measurement. One approach to circumventing this is the use of ancillary probes that couple to the system under investigation. We highlight means by which continuous variable quantum modes (qumodes) can be employed to probe the thermodynamics of quantum systems in and out of equilibrium.
