Cavity QED

We model a wide range of cavity and circuit QED systems, including those operating at optical frequencies based on single- or many-atoms, or quantum dots, and superconducting circuits, which operate in the microwave regime. Current work is focused on dissipative quantum phase transitions in cavity systems, alongside studies of coherence (quantum beats) and entanglement for atoms with non-trivial ground state structure. In some cases work in support of ongoing experiments in overseas labs is carried out; in others we aim to identify interesting new directions for future experimental work.
