Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt

Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt is a theoretical physicist with whom I happen to share a lot of common interest, including resonance fluorescence, Monte Carlo methods (he is the inventor of the "quantum jump approach", simultaneously to Dalibard and Molmer's MCWF and Carmichael's trajectories), two-level systems, relativity in quantum mechanics, etc. I discovered him for his Ensemble versus Individual System in Quantum Optics paper which has a title I could have used myself (related to my quantum-state ergodic hypothesis).

Other works of special interest include:

• Conditional resonance-fluorescence spectra of single atoms. G. C. Hegerfeldt and M. B. Plenio in Phys. Rev. A 53:1164 (1996).
• Ensemble versus Individual System in Quantum Optics. G. C. Hegerfeldt in Fortschr. Phys. <595::aid-prop595>3.0.co;2-m 46:595 (1998).
• Suppression of Rabi oscillations for moving atoms. B. Navarro, I. Egusquiza, J. Muga and G. Hegerfeldt in Phys. Rev. A 67:063819 (2003).
• The Quantum Jump Approach and Some of Its Applications. G. C. Hegerfeldt in Lect. Notes Phys. 789:127 (2009).
• Detector Models for the Quantum Time of Arrival. A. Ruschhaupt, J. Gonzalo Muga and G. C. Hegerfeldt in Lect. Notes Phys. 789:65 (2009).
