This project aims to find the mathematical structure behind the quantum Rabi model, the simplest model describing the interaction between quantum light and matter. The Rabi model is the connecting link in the essential interplay between mathematics, physics, and technological applications. Solving the mathematical structure behind it is expected to form the basis for solving related and equally important models. Such models describe a qubit, the building block of quantum information technologies, and so could realise quantum algorithms and quantum computations.Read moreRead less
