Loss of coherence and dressing in QED
B. Bellomo, G. Compagno, F. Petruccione
The dynamics of a free charged particle, initially described by a coherent wave packet, interacting with an environment, i.e. the electromagnetic field characterized by a temperatu…
Entanglement generation and protection by detuning modulation
M. Paternostro, M. S. Tame, G. M. Palma +1
We introduce a protocol for steady-state entanglement generation and protection based on detuning modulation in the dissipative interaction between a two-qubit system and a bosonic…
Casimir-Polder force density between an atom and a conducting wall
R. Messina, R. Passante
In this paper we calculate the Casimir-Polder force density (force per unit area acting on the elements of the surface) on a metallic plate placed in front of a neutral atom. To ob…
Nonlocal field correlations and dynamical Casimir-Polder forces between one excited- and two ground-state atoms
R. Passante, F. Persico, L. Rizzuto
The problem of nonlocality in the dynamical three-body Casimir-Polder interaction between an initially excited and two ground-state atoms is considered. It is shown that the nonloc…
Reversible and irreversible dynamics of a qubit interacting with a small environment
Giuliano Benenti, G. Massimo Palma
We analyze the dynamics of a system qubit interacting by means a sequence of pairwise collisions with an environment consisting of just two qubits. We show that the density operato…
Electron Fabry-Perot interferometer with two entangled magnetic impurities
F. Ciccarello, G. M. Palma, M. Zarcone +2
We consider a one-dimensional (1D) wire along which single conduction electrons can propagate in the presence of two spin-1/2 magnetic impurities. The electron may be scattered by…
