• Abstract: We investigate the dynamics of interacting quantum harmonic oscillators coupled to thermal reservoirs under the influence of an external driving field. In a novel theoretical scheme, we first analyze the case of two interacting oscillators, each coupled to its own thermal reservoir, with an external source applied to the first oscillator. By diagonalizing the total Hamiltonian through successive Bogoliubov transformations, we obtain explicit expressions for the oscillator energies. A key finding is that off resonance, the energy of the second oscillator grows unboundedly, whereas on resonance, it remains bounded and periodic. We then derive the Husimi functions for both oscillators and the reduced Husimi functions for initially separable coherent and number states. The shift of the Husimi function's maximum away from the origin at zero temperature confirms continuous energy gain under specific parameter conditions. An explicit formula for the reduced density matrix components in the number state basis is also provided. Finally, we generalize the model to $n$ interacting oscillators in a thermal medium driven by a classical field. For the three-oscillator case, we show that on resonance, the energies of the first and third oscillators grow, while the energy of the second oscillator remains periodically bounded. These results offer insights into energy transfer and localization in coupled oscillator systems in thermal environments.

• Adiabatic versus instantaneous transitions from a harmonic oscillator to an inverted oscillator [49.1574468325115]
  Mean energy increases when the frequency returns to its initial value, and the increment coefficient is determined by the exponent in the power law of the frequency crossing zero. If the frequency becomes imaginary, the absolute value of mean energy increases exponentially, even in the adiabatic regime. Small corrections to the leading terms of simple adiabatic approximate formulas are crucial in this case, due to the unstable nature of the motion.

  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.
