Dissipation and Thermal Noise in Hybrid Quantum Systems in the Ultrastrong Coupling Regime

Alessio Settineri, Vincenzo Macrì, Alessandro Ridolfo +4

The interaction among the components of a hybrid quantum system is often neglected when considering the coupling of these components to an environment. However, if the interaction…

-symmetric circuit-QED

Fernando Quijandría, Uta Naether, Sahin K. Özdemir +2

The Hermiticity axiom of quantum mechanics guarantees that the energy spectrum is real and the time evolution is unitary (probability-preserving). Nevertheless, non-Hermitian but $…
