[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Open quantum systems and quantum light–matter interactions

Quantum systems are never perfectly isolated from their surroundings. Interactions with environmental degrees of freedom can profoundly alter quantum behaviour, producing dissipation and decoherence but also giving rise to new physical phenomena that cannot be understood by considering the system alone.
