• Abstract: We propose an adiabatic-elimination formalism in the dispersive regime based on a transition-centric perturbation theory. The perturbative expansion is recast into a diagrammatic framework, while adiabatic elimination is implemented through controlled projections onto transition subspaces. Our approach applies systematically at arbitrary perturbation order, and is suited to multilevel systems and multiple qubits in both cavity and waveguide quantum electrodynamics. It ultimately enables the explicit construction of effective higher-order Hamiltonians while bypassing important limitations of existing techniques, thereby providing a practical toolbox for multiphoton processes in the dispersive regime.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide.

We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

Quantum properties of superwires give rise to elastic dynamical tunneling, linking disjoint regions of the corresponding classical phase space. We quantify tunneling rates across various lattice configurations, and demonstrate the tunneling can be suppressed in a controlled fashion.

  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.

  Reservoir engineering is a remarkable task that takes dissipation and decoherence as tools rather than impediments. We develop a collisional model to implement reservoir engineering for the one-dimensional harmonic motion of a trapped ion. Having multiple internal levels, we show that multiple reservoirs can be engineered, allowing for more efficient synthesis of well-known non-classical states of motion.

• Waveguide quantum optomechanics: parity-time phase transitions in ultrastrong coupling regime [125.99533416395765]
  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
