We consider the interaction of an harmonic oscillator with the quantum field via radiation pressure. We show that a `Schrodinger cat' state decoheres in a time scale that depends on the degree of `classicality' of the state components, and…
We take dissipation into account in the derivation of the Casimir energy formula between two objects placed in a surrounding medium. The dissipation channels are considered explicitly in order to take advantage of the unitarity of the full…
We investigate the influence of critical phenomena on two distinct physical processes: the center-of-mass decoherence of a single emitter, and the collective radiation of two emitters. We address these different physical mechanisms with an…
An oscillator with stochastic frequency is discussed as a model for evaluating the quantum coherence properties of a physical system. It is found that the choice of jump statistics has to be considered with care if unphysical consequences…

We reproduce the sub-exponential decoherence of one-dimensional quasicondensates observed in recent experiments. Counter-intuitively, the quasicondensates may decohere even when stongly coupled, if the temperature is large enough or the…

Quantum dissipation arises when a large system can be split in a quantum system and an environment where the energy of the former flows to. Understanding the effect of dissipation on quantum many-body systems is of particular importance due…
We study nonlinear dynamics of superposition of quantum wavepackets in various systems such as Kerr medium, Morse oscillator and bosonic Josephson junction. The prime reason behind this study is to find out how the superposition of states…
