• Abstract: Quantum optomechanics describes the interaction between a confined field and a fluctuating wall due to radiation pressure. The dynamics of this system is typically understood using perturbation theory up to second order in the small coupling. Improving beyond this regime can shed light onto new phenomena. In this work we study high-order resonant wall-field interactions characterized by two- and three-phonon scattering processes. We obtain the Hamiltonian, compute the perturbed energy spectrum and explicitly calculate corrections to the ground state. Finally, we study the dynamics of the system when second- and third-order resonance conditions are activated, showing that the presence of high-order terms in the Hamiltonian drastically affects the populations of all particles, as well as the entropy production rate.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

• Entanglement dynamics from universal low-lying modes [0.0]
  Information-theoretic quantities such as Renyi entropies show a remarkable universality in their late-time behaviour. We provide evidence that in systems with no symmetries, the low-energy excitations of the Euclidean Hamiltonian are universally given by a gapped quasiparticle-like band. This structure provides an understanding of entanglement dynamics in terms of a universal set of gapped low-lying modes.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
