Duality, decay rates and local-field models in macroscopic QED

Niclas Westerberg, Anette Messinger, Stephen M. Barnett

Any treatment of magnetic interactions between atoms, molecules and optical media must start at the form of the interaction energy. This forms the base on which predictions about a…

Influence functional for two mirrors interacting via radiation pressure

Salvatore Butera

We study the effective dynamics of two mirrors, forming an optical cavity, and interacting with the cavity field via radiation pressure. We pursue a perturbative influence function…

Open quantum system dynamics and the mean force Gibbs state

A. S. Trushechkin, M. Merkli, J. D. Cresser +1

The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just…

Superoscillations: Realisation of quantum weak values

Marc Nairn

Superoscillations are band-limited functions with the peculiar characteristic that they can oscillate with a frequency arbitrarily faster than their fastest Fourier component. Firs…

Phase gradient protection of stored spatially multimode perfect optical vortex beams in a diffused rubidium vapor

Yun Chen, Jinwen Wang, Chengyuan Wang +5

We experimentally investigate the optical storage of perfect optical vortex (POV) and spatially multimode perfect optical vortex (MPOV) beams via electromagnetically induced transp…

Quantum microscopy based on Hong-Ou-Mandel interference

Bienvenu Ndagano, Hugo Defienne, Dominic Branford +5

Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference, the bunching of indistinguishable photons at a beam splitter, is a staple of quantum optics and lies at the heart of many quantum sensing approac…

Probing the Purcell effect without radiative decay: Lessons in the frequency and time domains

Frieder Lindel, Francesca Fabiana Settembrini, Robert Bennett +1

The microscopic processes underlying electro-optic sampling of quantum-vacuum fluctuations are discussed, leading to the interpretation of these experiments in terms of an exchange…

Engineering the microwave to infrared noise photon flux for superconducting quantum systems

Sergey Danilin, João Barbosa, Michael Farage +6

Electromagnetic filtering is essential for the coherent control, operation and readout of superconducting quantum circuits at milliKelvin temperatures. The suppression of spurious…

Noise limits on two-photon interferometric sensing

Hannah Scott, Dominic Branford, Niclas Westerberg +2

When a photon interferes with itself while traversing a Mach-Zehnder inteferometer, the output port where it emerges is influenced by the phase difference between the interferomete…

Near-maximal two-photon entanglement for quantum communications at 2.1 m

Adetunmise C. Dada, Jędrzej Kaniewski, Corin Gawith +4

Owing to a reduced solar background and low propagation losses in the atmosphere, the 2- to 2.5-m waveband is a promising candidate for daylight quantum communication. This spec…

Spectroscopic Effects of Velocity-Dependent Casimir-Polder Interactions Induced by Parallel Plates

Joseph Durnin, Juliane Klatt, Robert Bennett +1

Casimir-Polder interactions cause energy and momentum exchange between microscopic and macroscopic bodies, a process mediated by quantum fluctuations in the coupled matter-electrom…

Pixel super-resolution using spatially-entangled photon pairs

Hugo Defienne, Patrick Cameron, Bienvenu Ndagano +7

Pixelation occurs in many imaging systems and limits the spatial resolution of the acquired images. This effect is notably present in quantum imaging experiments with correlated ph…

Weak and ultrastrong coupling limits of the quantum mean force Gibbs state

J. D. Cresser, J. Anders

The Gibbs state is widely taken to be the equilibrium state of a system in contact with an environment at temperature . However, non-negligible interactions between system and e…

Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object

Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197

The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…

Quantum computing hardware in the cloud: Should a computational chemist care?

A. Rossi, P. G. Baity, V. M. Schäfer +1

Within the last decade much progress has been made in the experimental realisation of quantum computing hardware based on a variety of physical systems. Rapid progress has been fue…
