Atom-field dressed states in slow-light waveguide QED

Giuseppe Calajo, Francesco Ciccarello, Darrick Chang +1

We discuss the properties of atom-photon bound states in waveguide QED systems consisting of single or multiple atoms coupled strongly to a finite-bandwidth photonic channel. Such…

Residual error-disturbance uncertainties in successive spin-1/2 measurements tested in matter-wave optics

Bülent Demirel, Stephan Sponar, Georg Sulyok +2

The indeterminacy inherent in quantum measurement is an outstanding character of quantum theory, which manifests itself typically in Heisenberg's error-disturbance uncertainty rela…

Parametric squeezing amplification of Bose-Einstein condensates

Georg Jäger, Tarik Berrada, Jörg Schmiedmayer +2

We theoretically investigate the creation of squeezed states of a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) trapped in a magnetic double well potential. The number or phase squeezed states ar…

Optimal control of complex atomic quantum systems

S. van Frank, M. Bonneau, J. Schmiedmayer +8

Quantum technologies will ultimately require manipulating many-body quantum systems with high precision. Cold atom experiments represent a stepping stone in that direction: a high…

Subnanotesla quantum-interference magnetometry with a single spin in diamond

A. Angerer, T. Nöbauer, G. Wachter +5

We demonstrate a magnetometry technique using nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond which makes use of coherent two-photon transitions. We find that the sensitivity to magnetic field…

Generalized event structures and probabilities

Karl Svozil

For the classical mind, quantum mechanics is boggling enough; nevertheless more bizarre behavior could be imagined, thereby concentrating on propositional structures (empirical log…

PT-symmetry breaking in the steady state of microscopic gain-loss systems

Kosmas V. Kepesidis, Thomas J. Milburn, Julian Huber +3

The phenomenon of PT (parity- and time-reversal) symmetry breaking is conventionally associated with a change in the complex mode spectrum of a non-Hermitian system that marks a tr…

Optimal control of Bose-Einstein condensates in three dimensions

Jan-Frederik Mennemann, Daniel Matthes, Rada-Maria Weishäupl +1

Ultracold gases promise many applications in quantum metrology, simulation and computation. In this context, optimal control theory (OCT) provides a versatile framework for the eff…

Directional spontaneous emission and lateral Casimir-Polder force on an atom close to a nanofiber

Stefan Scheel, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Christoph Clausen +1

We study the spontaneous emission of an excited atom close to an optical nanofiber and the resulting scattering forces. For a suitably chosen orientation of the atomic dipole, the…

Forbidden regimes in the distribution of bipartite quantum correlations due to multiparty entanglement

Asutosh Kumar, Himadri Shekhar Dhar, R. Prabhu +2

Monogamy is a nonclassical property that limits the distribution of quantum correlation among subparts of a multiparty system. We show that monogamy scores for different quantum co…

Experimental test of entropic noise-disturbance uncertainty relations for spin-1/2 measurements

Georg Sulyok, Stephan Sponar, Buelent Demirel +4

Information-theoretic definitions for noise and disturbance in quantum measurements were given in Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 050401 (2014) and a state-independent noise-disturbance unce…

Quantum technologies with hybrid systems

G. Kurizki, P. Bertet, Y. Kubo +4

An extensively pursued current direction of research in physics aims at the development of practical technologies that exploit the effects of quantum mechanics. As part of this ong…

Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update

Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49

Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…

Quantum music

Volkmar Putz, Karl Svozil

We consider ways of conceptualizing, rendering and perceiving quantum music, and quantum art in general. Thereby, we give particular emphasis to its non-classical aspects, such as…

A Non-Probabilistic Model of Relativised Predictability in Physics

Alastair A. Abbott, Cristian S. Calude, Karl Svozil

Little effort has been devoted to studying generalised notions or models of (un)predictability, yet is an important concept throughout physics and plays a central role in quantum i…
