Hmmm… Rotisserie frog :)

Typical transition frequencies between two levels of an atom are 10^15Hz. The coupling between atoms and light is on the order of the decay rate at which photons are transmitted, which sits around 10^6Hz.

I describe the atoms using a so called Lindblad master equation. The atoms are kept in this description, but the light field is eliminated using two assumptions:
- The coupling between the two is very weak.
- Correlations between the two decay so fast that this can be considered instantaneous.
The later produces white noise.

I work on quantum systems coupled to noisy environments (noisy as in causing random fluctuations). Atoms coupled to a light field are my specialty. I just got invited by a predatory journal in the field of acoustics, vibrations and noise?!

Lovely picture! Either I don’t get the meme part or I can’t find Saddam.

This has always been my biggest gripe with the exposition of this game. While studying physics I did the bare minimum of lab work and then dove into my theoretical specialization.

I remembered it being Newton’s gravity potential, but looking at a picture it’s just a big blur and could equally well be the force. Anyway, I applaud Ross as a physics layman for calling the scientists out.

Makes sense. Wigner’s contributions are everywhere in physics and parts of math. Must’ve come from somewhere.
