The success of quantum physics in description of various physical interaction phenomena relies primarily on the accuracy of analytical methods used. In quantum mechanics, many of such interactions such as those found in quantum…
We study the mirror-field interaction in several frameworks: when it is driven, when it is affected by an environment and when a two-level atom is introduced in the cavity. By using operator techniques we show how these problems may be…

It was recently argued [Phys. Rev. Lett 108, 220402 (2012)] that the stochastic dynamics of an open quantum system are not inherent to the system, but rather depend on the existence and nature of a distant detector. The proposed…
Starting from the reduced dynamical model of a two-junction quantum interference device, a quantum analog of the system has been exhibited, in order to extend the well known properties of this device to the quantum regime. By finding…

If several interventions performed on a quantum system are localized in mutually space-like regions, they will be recorded as a sequence of ``quantum jumps'' in one Lorentz frame, and as a different sequence of jumps in another Lorentz…
