The Dicke model in quantum optics: Dicke model revisited.

A short review of recent developments of the Dicke model in quantum optics is presented. The focus is on the model in a cavity at zero temperature and in the rotating wave approximation. Topics discussed include spectroscopic structures, the giant quantum oscillator, entanglement and phase transitions.

Henry Ormerod

at the age of 68, belonged to a family of surgeons. He was educated at the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Medical School, and very soon after qualifying he settled at Westbury. Although his capacity for work was immense, yet in the early years of his practice he had more than one attack of haemoptysis, and it was his opinion that leading a country open-air life had been the means of warding off mo...

Henry Wellcome

fo'c'sle-study running his naval household with the aid of an Admiralty of natural history suppliers and breeders, as well as experts like Lyell, Hooker and the young Huxley in every port. Beatrice Webb once likened Herbert Spencer to a spider collecting facts on the theoretical web he was spinning; the image equally well suits Darwin. A pleasure to read, this exciting new biography deepens our...

Einstein-Brans-Dicke Cosmology

We studied the Einstein-Brans-Dicke cosmology in detail. The difference of the evolution of the universe is significant between Einstein-Brans-Dicke cosmology and standard big-bang model during the radiation-dominated era. The power-law evolution of the scale factor is fast enough to solve the cosmological puzzles and slow enough to avoid the graceful exit problem. However, the constraints from...
