- Abstract summary: We show an approach that can describe the dynamics of hybrid quantum systems in any regime of interaction for an arbitrary electromagnetic (EM) environment.
We extend a previous method developed for few-mode quantization of arbitrary systems to the case of ultrastrong light-matter coupling.
We show that it outperforms current state-of-the-art master equations for a simple model system, and then study a realistic nanoplasmonic setup where existing approaches cannot be applied.

- Abstract: Despite significant theoretical efforts devoted to studying the interaction
between quantized light modes and matter, the so-called ultra-strong coupling
regime still presents significant challenges for theoretical treatments and
prevents the use of many common approximations. Here we demonstrate an approach
that can describe the dynamics of hybrid quantum systems in any regime of
interaction for an arbitrary electromagnetic (EM) environment. We extend a
previous method developed for few-mode quantization of arbitrary systems to the
case of ultrastrong light-matter coupling, and show that even such systems can
be treated using a Lindblad master equation where decay operators act only on
the photonic modes by ensuring that the effective spectral density of the EM
environment is sufficiently suppressed at negative frequencies. We demonstrate
the validity of our framework and show that it outperforms current
state-of-the-art master equations for a simple model system, and then study a
realistic nanoplasmonic setup where existing approaches cannot be applied.

Hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong, and even more in the deep-strong, coupling regimes can exhibit exotic physical phenomena.
We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator.
This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

Mean-field treatment (MFT) is frequently applied to approximately predict the dynamics of quantum optics systems.
Here, we provide a general and systematic theoretical framework based on the perturbation theory in company with the MFT to capture unanticipated quantum effects.
Our work clearly reveals the attendant quantum effects under mean-field treatment and provides a more precise theoretical framework to describe quantum optics systems.

We analytically diagonalize the Liouvillian of a class Markovian dissipative systems with arbitrary strong interactions or nonlinearity.
This enables an exact description of the full dynamics and dissipative spectrum.
Our method is applicable to a variety of other systems, and could provide a powerful new tool for the study of complex driven-dissipative quantum systems.

Non-Markovian effects are important in modeling the behavior of open quantum systems in solid-state physics, quantum optics, and in study of biological and chemical systems.
We show that under some physically motivated assumptions on the system-environment interaction, the finite-time dynamics of the non-Markovian open quantum system computed with a sufficiently large number of modes guaranteed to converge is an approximation.
Our results lend rigor to classical and quantum algorithms for approximating non-Markovian dynamics.

We propose a metric that may be used in experiments to map the regime of validity of the Lindblad equation in predicting the steady state of the driven qubit.
