Characterization of Transverse Instabilities Driven by Electron Cloud

Electron cloud continues to be one of the main limiting factors of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the biggest accelerator at CERN. These clouds form in the beam chamber when positively charged particles are passing through and cause unwanted effects in b ...

Frequency and time domains interactions in nanophotonics

Andrei Kiselev

In this thesis, we discuss the problems of scattering and optical manipulation related to nanosystems of different complexities. The multipolar decomposition method is used to represent scattering processes in nanosystems as a series of elementary excitati ...

Physics-Inspired Equivariant Descriptors of Nonbonded Interactions

Michele Ceriotti, Philip Robin Loche, Kevin Kazuki Huguenin-Dumittan

One essential ingredient in many machine learning (ML) based methods for atomistic modeling of materials and molecules is the use of locality. While allowing better system-size scaling, this systematically neglects long-range (LR) effects such as electrost ...

Low and high frequency electromagnetic forces: numerical modelling and practical applications

Marco Riccardi

The understanding and manipulation of nanoscale analytes is a central theme in nanotechnology and has been one of the main driving forces behind the development of this field as we know it today. Furthermore, such a technology has the potential to also rev ...

Multipolar expansions for scattering and optical force calculations beyond the long wavelength approximation

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Marco Riccardi

We review three different approaches for the calculation of electromagnetic multipoles, namely, the Cartesian primitive multipoles, the Cartesian irreducible multipoles, and the spherical multipoles. We identify the latter as the best suited to describe th ...

Extension of Lorentz reciprocity and Poynting theorems for spatially dispersive media with quadrupolar responses

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

We provide a self-consistent extension of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem and the Poynting theorem for media possessing electric and magnetic dipolar and quadrupolar responses related to electric and magnetic fields and field gradients thus corresponding t ...

Multipolar origin of electromagnetic transverse force resulting from TE/TM wave interference

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev

In this paper, we aim at unveiling the underlying physical mechanism for transversal optical forces, appearing due to the simultaneous illumination of a spherical object with two plane waves possessing different polarizations. The appearance of such a tran ...

Static and dynamic properties of non-collinear quantum antiferromagnets explored by neutron scattering

Luc Testa

This thesis is devoted to the investigation of static and dynamic properties of two different sets of quantum magnets with neutron scattering techniques and the help of linear spin wave theory. Both systems are copper-based with spin-1/2, which makes them ...

Frequency dependence in GW made simple using a multipole approximation

Tommaso Chiarotti, Andrea Ferretti

In the GW approximation, the screened interaction W is a nonlocal and dynamical potential that usually has a complex frequency dependence. A full description of such a dependence is possible but often computationally demanding. For this reason, it is still ...

Strong photon coupling to the quadrupole moment of an electron in a solid-state qubit

Pasquale Scarlino

The fundamental concept of light–matter interaction is routinely realized by coupling the quantized electric field in a cavity to the dipole moment of a real or an artificial atom. A recent proposal1,2, motivated by the prospect of overcoming the decoherin ...
