Solid-state systems which mimic two-level atoms are being actively developed. Improving the quantum coherence of these systems, for instance spin qubits or single photon emitters using semiconductor quantum dots, involves dealing with…

In the context of semiclassical gravity, the semiclassical Einstein equation is often invoked when backreaction of quantum matter/fields on the spacetime is at stake. It is expected to hold when quantum fluctuations are small. Yet, it is…
