- Abstract: The dynamics of open quantum systems is often modelled using master
equations, which describe the expected outcome of an experiment (i.e., the
average over many realizations of the same dynamics). Quantum trajectories,
instead, model the outcome of ideal single experiments -- the ``clicks'' of a
perfect detector due to, e.g., spontaneous emission. The correct description of
quantum jumps, which are related to random events characterizing a sudden
change in the wave function of an open quantum system, is pivotal to the
definition of quantum trajectories. In this article, we extend the formalism of
quantum trajectories to open quantum systems with ultrastrong coupling (USC)
between light and matter by properly defining jump operators in this regime. In
such systems, exotic higher-order quantum-state- and energy-transfer can take
place without conserving the total number of excitations in the system. The
emitted field of such USC systems bears signatures of these higher-order
processes, and significantly differs from similar processes at lower coupling
strengths. Notably, the emission statistics must be taken at a single quantum
trajectory level, since the signatures of these processes are washed out by the
``averaging'' of a master equation. We analyze the impact of the chosen
unravelling (i.e., how one collects the output field of the system) for the
quantum trajectories and show that these effects of the higher-order USC
processes can be revealed in experiments by constructing histograms of detected
quantum jumps. We illustrate these ideas by analyzing the excitation of two
atoms by a single photon~[Garziano et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.117, 043601 (2016)].
For example, quantum trajectories reveal that keeping track of the quantum
jumps from the atoms allow to reconstruct both the oscillations between one
photon and two atoms, as well as emerging Rabi oscillations between the two
atoms.

In cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), emitters and a resonator are coupled together to enable precise studies of quantum light-matter interactions.
Here we provide an observation of the continuous superradiant phase transition predicted in the CRF model using an ensemble of ultracold $88$Sr atoms.
Our observations are a first step towards finer control of driven-dissipative systems, which have been predicted to generate quantum states.

We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model.
The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels.
Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.
