Nonlinear optical signals from an assembly of N noninteracting particles consist of an incoherent and a coherent component, whose magnitudes scale sim N and sim N(N-1), respectively. A unified microscopic description of both types of signals is developed using a quantum electrodynamical (QED) treatment of the optical fields. Closed nonequilibrium Greens function expressions are derived that incorporate both stimulated and spontaneous processes. General (n+1)-wave mixing experiments are discussed as an example of spontaneously generated signals. When performed on a single particle, such signals cannot be expressed in terms of the nth order polarization, as predicted by the semiclassical theory. Stimulated processes are shown to be purely incoherent in nature. Within the QED framework, heterodyne-detected wave mixing signals are simply viewed as incoherent stimulated emission, whereas homodyne signals are generated by coherent spontaneous emission.

We establish a novel approach to probing spatially resolved multi-time correlation functions of interacting many-body systems, with scalable experimental overhead. Specifically, designing nonlinear measurement protocols for multidimensional spectra i n a chain of trapped ions with single-site addressability enables us, e.g., to distinguish coherent from incoherent transport processes, to quantify potential anharmonicities, and to identify decoherence-free subspaces.
The three key elements of a quantum simulation are state preparation, time evolution, and measurement. While the complexity scaling of dynamics and measurements are well known, many state preparation methods are strongly system-dependent and require prior knowledge of the systems eigenvalue spectrum. Here, we report on a quantum-classical implementation of the coupled-cluster Greens function (CCGF) method, which replaces explicit ground state preparation with the task of applying unitary operators to a simple product state. While our approach is broadly applicable to a wide range of models, we demonstrate it here for the Anderson impurity model (AIM). The method requires a number of T gates that grows as $ mathcal{O} left(N^5 right)$ per time step to calculate the impurity Greens function in the time domain, where $N$ is the total number of energy levels in the AIM. For comparison, a classical CCGF calculation of the same order would require computational resources that grow as $ mathcal{O} left(N^6 right)$ per time step.
After a short recall of our previous standing wave approach to the Casimir force problem, we consider Lifshitzs temperature Greens function method and its virtues from a physical point of view. Using his formula, specialized for perfectly reflecting mirrors, we present a quantitative discussion of the temperature effect on the attractive force.

The boundary Greens function (bGF) approach has been established as a powerful theoretical technique for computing the transport properties of tunnel-coupled hybrid nanowire devices. Such nanowires may exhibit topologically nontrivial superconducting phases with Majorana bound states at their boundaries. We introduce a general method for computing the bGF of spinful multi-channel lattice models for such Majorana nanowires, where the bGF is expressed in terms of the roots of a secular polynomial evaluated in complex momentum space. In many cases, those roots, and thus the bGF, can be accurately described by simple analytical expressions, while otherwise our approach allows for the numerically efficient evaluation of bGFs. We show that from the behavior of the roots, many physical quantities of key interest can be inferred, e.g., the value of bulk topological invariants, the energy dependence of the local density of states, or the spatial decay of subgap excitations. We apply the method to single- and two-channel nanowires of symmetry class D or DIII. In addition, we study the spectral properties of multi-terminal Josephson junctions made out of such Majorana nanowires.
The nonequilibrium Greens function (NEGF) method is often used to predict transport in atomistically resolved nanodevices and yields an immense numerical load when inelastic scattering on phonons is included. To ease this load, this work extends the atomistic mode space approach of Ref. [1] to include inelastic scattering on optical and acoustic phonons in silicon nanowires. This work also includes the exact calculation of the real part of retarded scattering self-energies in the reduced basis representation using the Kramers-Kronig relations. The inclusion of the Kramers-Kronig relation for the real part of the retarded scattering self-energy increases the impact of scattering. Virtually perfect agreement with results of the original representation is achieved with matrix rank reductions of more than 97%. Time-to-solution improvements of more than 200$times$ and peak memory reductions of more than 7$times$ are shown. This allows for the solution of electron transport scattered on phonons in atomically resolved nanowires with cross-sections larger than 5 nm $times$ 5 nm.
