Room-Temperature Quantum Optomechanics and Free-Electron Quantum Optics
Quantum optics studies how photons interact with other forms of matter, the understanding of which was crucial for the development of quantum mechanics as a whole. Starting from the photoelectric effect, the quantum property of light has led to the develop ...
EPFL2024Dynamical properties of a driven dissipative dimerized S=1/2 chain
We consider the dynamical properties of a gapped quantum spin system coupled to the electric field of a laser, which drives the resonant excitation of specific phonon modes that modulate the magnetic interactions. We deduce the quantum master equations gov ...
2021Strong photon coupling to the quadrupole moment of an electron in a solid-state qubit
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 ...
2020Optimized Quantization in Distributed Graph Signal Filtering
Pascal Frossard, Isabela Cunha Maia Nobre
Distributed graph signal processing algorithms require the network nodes to communicate by exchanging messages in order to achieve a common objective. These messages have a finite precision in realistic networks, which may necessitate to implement message ...
2019A Gyrokinetic Model for the Tokamak Periphery
Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge, Baptiste Jimmy Frei, Antoine Baillod
Despite significant developments over the last decades, an analytical model which adequately describes plasma dynamics in the tokamak periphery region extending from the edge region to the far scrape-off layer is still missing. In this work, we present a n ...
2018Geometric Integrators for Nonadiabatic Molecular Quantum Dynamics Induced by the Interaction with the Electromagnetic Field
Understanding the elementary steps involved in a chemical reaction forms the cornerstone of physical chemistry research. One way to deepen this understanding is by studying chemical and physical processes using linear and nonlinear spectroscopic techniques ...
EPFL2017Study of Field Misalignment in a Cavity Used for Atomic Clock Applications
In vapor cell atomic clocks the atom-field interaction is typically obtained inside a microwave cavity resonator in which the microwave driving field together with a static magnetic field and an optical field are applied to excite the atoms. These fields a ...
