Engineering entanglement Hamiltonians with strongly interacting cold atoms in optical traps
R. E. Barfknecht, T. Mendes-Santos, L. Fallani
We present a proposal for the realization of entanglement Hamiltonians in one-dimensional critical spin systems with strongly interacting cold atoms. Our approach is based on the n…
Quantum motion of a squeezed mechanical oscillator attained via a optomechanical experiment
P. Vezio, A. Chowdhury, M. Bonaldi +7
We experimentally investigate a mechanical squeezed state realized in a parametrically-modulated membrane resonator embedded in an optical cavity. We demonstrate that a quantum cha…
Laser-induced frequency tuning of Fourier-limited single-molecule emitters
Maja Colautti, Francesco S. Piccioli, Pietro Lombardi +7
The local interaction of charges and light in organic solids is the basis of distinct and fundamental effects. We here observe, at the single molecule scale, how a focused laser be…
Quasiparticle lifetime of the repulsive Fermi polaron
Haydn S. Adlong, Weizhe Edward Liu, Francesco Scazza +5
We investigate the metastable repulsive branch of a mobile impurity coupled to a degenerate Fermi gas via short-range interactions. We show that the quasiparticle lifetime of this…
Probing quantum gravity effects with quantum mechanical oscillators
M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli, A. Chowdhury +13
Phenomenological models aiming to join gravity and quantum mechanics often predict effects that are potentially measurable in refined low-energy experiments. For instance, modified…
Effects of excitation light polarization on fluorescence emission in two-photon light-sheet microscopy
Giuseppe de Vito, Pietro Ricci, Lapo Turrini +6
Light-sheet microscopy (LSM) is a powerful imaging technique that uses a planar illumination oriented orthogonally to the detection axis. Two-photon (2P) LSM is a variant of LSM th…
Realization of a Cold Mixture of Fermionic Chromium and Lithium Atoms
Elettra Neri, Alessio Ciamei, Cristiano Simonelli +4
We report on the production of a novel cold mixture of fermionic Cr and Li atoms delivered by two Zeeman-slowed atomic beams and collected within a magneto-optical tra…
Dynamical formation of quantum droplets in a K mixture
G. Ferioli, G. Semeghini, S. Terradas-Briansó +3
We report on the dynamical formation of self-bound quantum droplets in attractive mixtures of K atoms. Considering the experimental observations of Semeghini et al., Phys. R…
Hyperuniform monocrystalline structures by spinodal solid-state dewetting
Marco Salvalaglio, Mohammed Bouabdellaoui, Monica Bollani +8
Materials featuring anomalous suppression of density fluctuations over large length scales are emerging systems known as disordered hyperuniform. The underlying hidden order render…
Molecular and polymeric amorphous forms in dense SO
Huichao Zhang, Ondrej Tóth, Xiao-Di Liu +7
We report here a study of reversible pressure-induced structural transformation between two amorphous forms of SO: molecular at pressures below 26 GPa and polymeric above this…
Noise Sensing via Stochastic Quantum Zeno
Matthias M. Müller, Stefano Gherardini, Nicola Dalla Pozza +1
The dynamics of any quantum system is unavoidably influenced by the external environment. Thus, the observation of a quantum system (probe) can allow the measure of the environment…
Exploring the Foundations of the Universe with Space Tests of the Equivalence Principle
Baptiste Battelier, Joël Bergé, Andrea Bertoldi +34
We present the scientific motivation for future space tests of the equivalence principle, and in particular the universality of free fall, at the level or better. Two po…
Strongly correlated superfluid order parameters from dc Josephson supercurrents
W. J. Kwon, G. Del Pace, R. Panza +5
The dc Josephson effect provides a powerful phase-sensitive tool for investigating superfluid order parameters. We report on the observation of dc Josephson supercurrents in strong…
Photonic bands, superchirality, and inverse design of a chiral minimal metasurface
Simone Zanotto, Giacomo Mazzamuto, Francesco Riboli +4
Photonic band structures are a typical fingerprint of periodic optical structures, and are usually observed in spectroscopic quantities such as transmission, reflection and absorpt…
Quantum signature of a squeezed mechanical oscillator
A. Chowdhury, P. Vezio, M. Bonaldi +7
Some predictions of quantum mechanics are in contrast with the macroscopic realm of everyday experience, in particular those originated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, enc…
Passively stable distribution of polarisation entanglement over 192 km of deployed optical fibre
Sören Wengerowsky, Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Fabian Steinlechner +14
Quantum key distribution (QKD) based on entangled photon pairs holds the potential for repeater-based quantum networks connecting clients over long distance. We demonstrate long-di…
Conditional nonclassical field generation in cavity QED
Karsten Weiher, Elizabeth Agudelo, Martin Bohmann
We introduce a method for the conditional generation of nonclassical states of light in a cavity. We consider two-level atoms traveling along the transverse direction to the cavity…
Experimental test of exchange fluctuation relations in an open quantum system
Santiago Hernández-Gómez, Stefano Gherardini, Francesco Poggiali +4
Elucidating the energy transfer between a quantum system and a reservoir is a central issue in quantum non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which could provide novel tools to engineer q…
Supersolid symmetry breaking from compressional oscillations in a dipolar quantum gas
L. Tanzi, S. M. Roccuzzo, E. Lucioni +6
The existence of a paradoxical supersolid phase of matter, possessing the apparently incompatible properties of crystalline order and superfluidity, was predicted 50 years ago. Sol…
Optimized White Reflectance in Photonic Network Structures
Francesco Utel, Lorenzo Cortese, Diederik S. Wiersma +1
Three-dimensional disordered networks are receiving increasing attention as versatile architectures for highly scattering materials. However, due to their complex morphology, littl…
