Stochastic resonance is a phenomenon in which fluctuations enhance an otherwise weak signal. It has been found in many different systems in paleoclimatology, biology, medicine, and physics. The classical stochastic resonance due to thermal…

Photon-resolved Floquet theory keeps track of the photon exchange of a quantum system with a coherent driving field. It thus complements the standard full-counting statistics that counts the number of photons exchanged with incoherent…
Dissipation, the irreversible loss of energy and coherence, from a microsystem, is the result of coupling to a much larger macrosystem (or reservoir) which is so large that one has no chance of keeping track of all of its degrees of…

Physical quantum systems are generically coupled to an environment, resulting in open system dynamics. A typical approach to simulating this dynamics is to propagate the density matrix of the system via the Lindblad master equation. This…
