Zusammenfassung:
In this thesis, an inverse design approach to the engineering of quantum optical
few-level schemes at hard x-ray energies is introduced. Such quantum systems can
be realized with layers of Mössbauer nuclei embedded in thin-film cavities and
probed with low-intensity x-rays. The approach pursued in the thesis allows to
comprehensively study the realizable quantum optical setups and gives immediate
access to the geometries they are realized in. This feature alleviates the need for
trial-and-error methods and – due to its systematic nature – enables general and
partly unexpected insights that might impact x-ray cavities beyond the system
under study. The approach is introduced using the example of an artificial twolevel
scheme and its generalization to more complex level schemes is illustrated
with the design of quantum optical effects in an artificial three-level system.
Finally, the inverse design is applied to directly shape the observable spectrum of
the joint nuclei-cavity system. The results of the thesis promise to enlarge the
performance of existing applications and will likely help to extend the scope of
x-ray quantum optics towards novel ideas.
