Coalescence and anti-coalescence of surface plasmons on a lossy beamsplitter

Benjamin Vest, Marie-Christine Dheur, Éloïse Devaux +7

Surface plasma waves are collective oscillations of electrons that propagate along a metal-dielectric interface. In the last ten years, several groups have reproduced fundamental q…

Excitation injector in an atomic chain: long-ranged transport and efficiency amplification

Pierre Doyeux, Riccardo Messina, Bruno Leggio +1

We investigate the transport of energy in a linear chain of two-level quantum emitters ("atoms") weakly coupled to a blackbody radiation bath. We show that, simply by displacing on…

The role of quantum measurement in stochastic thermodynamics

Cyril Elouard, David Herrera-Martí, Maxime Clusel +1

This article sets up a new formalism to investigate stochastic thermodynamics in the quantum regime, where stochasticity and irreversibility primarily come from quantum measurement…

Otto engine beyond its standard quantum limit

Bruno Leggio, Mauro Antezza

We propose a quantum Otto cycle based on the properties of a two-level system in a realistic out-of-thermal-equilibrium electromagnetic field acting as its sole reservoir. This ste…

Quantum thermal machine acting on a many-body quantum system: role of correlations in thermodynamic tasks

Pierre Doyeux, Bruno Leggio, Riccardo Messina +1

We study the functioning of a three-level thermal machine when acting on a many-qubit system, the entire system being placed in an electromagnetic field in a stationary out-of-ther…

Quantum metamaterials in the microwave and optical ranges

A. M. Zagoskin, Didier Felbacq, Emmanuel Rousseau

Quantum metamaterials generalize the concept of metamaterials (artificial optical media) to the case when their optical properties are determined by the interplay of quantum effect…

Nonequilibrium Casimir-Polder plasmonic interactions

Nicola Bartolo, Riccardo Messina, Diego A. R. Dalvit +1

We investigate how the combination of nonequilibrium effects and material properties impacts on the Casimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a surface. By addressing systems…

Non-thermal effects of acceleration in the resonance interaction between two uniformly accelerated atoms

Lucia Rizzuto, Margherita Lattuca, Jamir Marino +4

We study the resonance interaction between two uniformly accelerated identical atoms, one excited and the other in the ground state, prepared in a correlated (symmetric or antisymm…
