The artifical gauge fields emerge from a closed, adiabatic curve in the parameter manifold of a waveguide system with degeneracies. An optimisation process allows to find ideal parameters of an experimental implementation. Additionally, two Lie-algebraic methods that solve the quantum master equation of an arbitrary, lossy waveguide system are developed, which allow to study non-Hermitian systems, e.g. parity-time-symmetry. %L 530 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00003110 %U http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00003110 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00003110-0 %U https://d-nb.info/1293534269/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00003110
