Experimental investigation of amplitude and phase quantum correlations in a type II OPO above threshold: from the non-degenerate to the degenerate operation

Julien Laurat, Thomas Coudreau, Laurent Longchambon +1

We describe a very stable type II optical parametric oscillator operated above threshold which provides 9.7 0.5 dB (89%) of quantum noise reduction on the intensity differenc…

Roughness correction to the Casimir force : Beyond the Proximity Force Approximation

Paulo A. Maia Neto, Astrid Lambrecht, Serge Reynaud

We calculate the roughness correction to the Casimir effect in the parallel plates geometry for metallic plates described by the plasma model. The calculation is perturbative in th…

A product formula and combinatorial field theory

A. Horzela, P. Blasiak, G. H. E. Duchamp +2

We treat the problem of normally ordering expressions involving the standard boson operators a, a* where [a,a*]=1. We show that a simple product formula for formal power series - e…

Partition functions and graphs: A combinatorial approach

Allan I. Solomon, Pawel Blasiak, Gerard Duchamp +2

Although symmetry methods and analysis are a necessary ingredient in every physicist's toolkit, rather less use has been made of combinatorial methods. One exception is in the real…

A modulated mirror for atomic interferometry

C. Henkel, A. M. Steane, R. Kaiser +1

A novel atomic beam splitter, using reflection of atoms off an evanescent light wave, is investigated theoretically. The intensity or frequency of the light is modulated in order t…

Aperiodic Quantum Random Walks

Pedro Ribeiro, Perola Milman, Remy Mosseri

We generalize the quantum random walk protocol for a particle in a one-dimensional chain, by using several types of biased quantum coins, arranged in aperiodic sequences, in a mann…
