• Abstract: The interaction between matter and squeezed light has mostly been treated within the approximation that the field correlation time is small. Methods for treating squeezed light with more general correlations currently involve explicitly modeling the systems producing the light. We develop a general purpose input-output theory for a particular form of narrowband squeezed light -- a squeezed wave-packet mode -- that only cares about the statistics of the squeezed field and the shape of the wave packet. This formalism allows us to derive the input-output relations and the master equation. We also consider detecting the scattered field using photon counting and homodyne measurements which necessitates the derivation of the stochastic master equation. The non Markovian nature of the field manifests itself in the master equation as a coupled hierarchy of equations. We illustrate these with consequences for the decay and resonance fluorescence of two-level atoms in the presence of such fields.

• Open system dynamics in interacting quantum field theories [0.16385815610837165]
  A quantum system that interacts with an environment undergoes non-unitary evolution described by a non-Markovian or Markovian master equation. We show how the equations simplify under various approximations including the Markovian limit. We argue that the Redfield equation-based solution provides a perturbative resummation to the standard second order Dyson series result.

  We extend previous analysis on decoherence in a fermion and scalar quantum field theory. We use a non-equilibrium effective field theory formalism, suitable for open quantum systems such as this. Our result is qualitatively similar to an earlier one found by using the influence functional technique for a massive Yukawa theory.

• Free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket using operator manipulations [77.34726150561087]
  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

Numerical demonstrations are carried out on the electron transfer model, exhibiting the transient statistical properties of the solvation coordinate.

  This work is a survey about the hierarchical equations of motion and their implementation with the tensor-train format. We recall the link with the perturbative second order time convolution equations also known as the Bloch-Redfield equations. The main points of the tensor-train expansion are illustrated in an example with a qubit interacting with a bath described by a Lorentzian spectral density.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

  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 show that one can tune the correlation function $g(2)(tau)$ from zero (perfect anti-bunching) to infinite (extreme bunching) by a proper choice of pump amplitude.
