Well, I've been hired for a project now which should give me the oh so valuable work experience (I have done a few solicitations) which will undoubtedly open many doors. But I feel like some doors went open more easily for them than for me. Especially since I barely networked (I had to work at...

No, but it is mentioned on the sheet of paper with your marks though but future employers usually don't see that. As far as I know, there are two systems. In my university, you can only resit an exam if you fail, so people deliberately fail to spread the work. In the other large university...

Hello, I have a question about the value of graduating with honours. I don't know how this works in other universities in other countries, but here if one fails a course one usually has the chance to retake the exam in the summer before the new academic year. If one fails a second time, one...

Hello, I just want to say that indeed it was correct after all. The system gets "entangled by dissipation". I thought it was something unphysical, but it makes more sense now. Thanks for the replies!

Thank you for helping out! The problem is that this result is unphysical. The cavity is damped, so it's spectrum is broadened. Therefore, the atoms should completely decay to the ground state. Just as described by Weisskopf-Wigner theory And this happens in the case of 1 atom, but not here...

Yes. C_{eg0} has always the opposite sign of C_{ge0} (because of the two (-i) factors) And indeed, the system has an eigenstate [1/\sqrt{2}, -1/\sqrt{2},0] so the system just damps to this eigen state. For example in the case of 1 atom, this "stationary" state does not exist so, in that...

Hello,I have a question about 2 (or more) atoms coupled to an optical cavity. The equations of motion in the interaction picture for 2 atoms in resonnance with an optical cavity starting from 1 excited atom (C_{eg,0}(t_0) = 1 ) (g is the coupling constant) \begin{cases} \dot{C}_{eg,0} &= -...
