We study the evolution of a quantum dot controlled by a frequency-swept (chirped), linearly polarized laser pulse in the presence of carrier-phonon coupling. The final occupation of the exciton state is limited both due to phonon-induced…
It has been observed experimentally [H.R. Xia, C.Y. Ye, and S.Y. Zhu, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 77}, 1032 (1996)] that quantum interference between two molecular transitions can lead to a suppression or enhancement of spontaneous emission. This…

We explore how the Jaynes-Cummings ladder transpires in the emitted spectra of a two-level system in strong coupling with a single mode of light. We focus on the case of very strong coupling, that would be achieved with systems of…
The effective conjugation symmetry that arises in the rotating wave frame is the analogue of the discrete symmetry in field theory. Breaking this effective conjugation symmetry leads to asymmetries between up- and down- chirped excitation…
When the initial state of a quantum mechanical system is an excited state, then it is expected that the occupation, or survival, probability of that state will decrease. This is studied numerically within the Bixon-Jortner model, which was…

We study the excitation of a two-level system (2LS) by quantum light, thereby bringing our previous studies~(see part~I. of this series) to a target that is quantum itself. While there is no gain for the quantum state of the target as…

Excitation of a semiconductor quantum dot with a chirped laser pulse allows excitons to be created by rapid adiabatic passage. In quantum dots this process can be greatly hindered by the coupling to phonons. Here we add a high chirp rate to…

Non-equilibrium phase transitions exist in damped-driven open quantum systems, when the continuous tuning of an external parameter leads to a transition between two robust steady states. In second-order transitions this change is abrupt at…
