• Abstract summary: We get more insight into the time evolution of a total system of a two-level atom and a continuous-mode quantum field. We propose an approximation, which we are able to apply systematically to each order of Dyson expansion. As a sanity check, by applying our framework, we derive the known optical Bloch equations.

• Abstract: Interactions between a source of light and atoms are ubiquitous in nature. The study of them is interesting on the fundamental level as well as for applications. They are in the core of Quantum Information Processing tasks and in Quantum Thermodynamics protocols. However, even for two-level atom interacting with field in rotating wave approximation there exists no exact solution. This touches as basic problem in quantum field theory, where we can only calculate the transitions in the time asymptotic limits (i.e. minus and plus infinity), while we are not able to trace the evolution. In this paper we want to get more insight into the time evolution of a total system of a two-level atom and a continuous-mode quantum field. We propose an approximation, which we are able to apply systematically to each order of Dyson expansion, resulting in greatly simplified formula for the evolution of the combined system at any time. Our tools include a proposed novel, {\it non-Hermitian} re-normalization method. As a sanity check, by applying our framework, we derive the known optical Bloch equations.

  Quantum systems interact with their environment, resulting in non-reversible evolutions. For many quantum experiments, the time until which measurements can be done might be limited. We introduce a method to approximate a given target quantum channel by means of variationally approximating equivalent unitaries on an extended system.

  We consider an environment formed by incoherent photons as a resource for controlling open quantum systems via an incoherent control. We exploit a coherent control in the Hamiltonian and an incoherent control in the dissipator which induces the time-dependent decoherence rates.

  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 propose a new approach of PITE which requires only a single ancillary qubit. We discuss the application of our approach to quantum chemistry by focusing on the scaling of computational cost.

We first analyze how to simulate simple models, like the discrete versions of H and H$+$, using a single fermionic atom. We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
