Master equation with a coherent bath
When we consider an oscillator $a$ acting with a bath of oscillators $b_i$ with the interaction Hamiltonian reads
$$H_{int}=\sum_{i}g_ia b_i^{\dagger}+g_i^*a^{\dagger}b_i,$$ with the free Hamiltonian:

Spherical harmonics with 2 cosmological probes : considering $a_{\ell m, photo}$ as a constant and $\hat{a}_{\ell m, spectro}$ as an estimator
I am in cosmological context where the survey on which I am working has 2 probes : a photometric galaxy clustering ($GC_{ph}$) probe and a spectroscopic galaxy clustering ($GC_{sp}$ probe).
We use an ...

Wilson loops as representations of the Lorentz group
Wilson loops in lattice $4d$ Yang-Mills theory are used to build various glueball states of different spins when they are applied to the vacuum. The spin dependence of such states is related with the ...
