Observation of anisotropic diffusion of light in compacted granular porous materials
Erik Alerstam, Tomas Svensson
It is known that compaction of granular matter can lead to anisotropic mechanical properties. Recent work has confirmed the link to pore space anisotropy, but the relation between…
Radiation pressure on a moving body: beyond the Doppler effect
S. A. R. Horsley, M. Artoni, G. C. La Rocca
The dependence of macroscopic radiation pressure on the velocity of the object being pushed is commonly attributed to the Doppler effect. This need not be the case, and here we hig…
Weak localization of light in superdiffusive random systems
Matteo Burresi, Vivekananthan Radhalakshmi, Romolo Savo +3
Lévy flights constitute a broad class of random walks that occur in many fields of research, from animal foraging in biology, to economy to geophysics. The recent advent of Lévy gl…
Probing biological light-harvesting phenomena by optical cavities
Filippo Caruso, Semion K. Saikin, Enrique Solano +3
We propose a driven optical cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) set up aimed at directly probing energy transport dynamics in photosynthetic biomolecules. We show that detailed in…
Cold and trapped metastable noble gases
Wim Null Vassen, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Michèle Leduc +7
We review experimental and theoretical work on cold, trapped metastable noble gases. We em- phasize the aspects which distinguish work with these atoms from the large body of work…
Quasiparticle dynamics in a Bose insulator probed by inter-band Bragg spectroscopy
Nicole Fabbri, Sebastian D. Huber, David Clément +4
We investigate experimentally and theoretically the dynamical properties of a Mott insulator in decoupled one-dimensional chains. Using a theoretical analysis of the Bragg excitati…
Quantum limit for avian magnetoreception: How sensitive can a chemical compass be?
Jianming Cai, Filippo Caruso, Martin B. Plenio
The chemical compass model, based on radical pair reactions, is a fascinating idea to explain avian magnetoreception. At present, questions concerning the key ingredients responsib…
Sub-Doppler laser cooling of potassium atoms
M. Landini, S. Roy, L. Carcagni' +4
We investigate sub-Doppler laser cooling of bosonic potassium isotopes, whose small hyperfine splitting has so far prevented cooling below the Doppler temperature. We find instead…
PT symmetry and spontaneous symmetry breaking in a microwave billiard
S. Bittner, B. Dietz, U. Guenther +4
We demonstrate the presence of parity-time (PT) symmetry for the non-Hermitian two-state Hamiltonian of a dissipative microwave billiard in the vicinity of an exceptional point (EP…
Quantum dynamics of impurities in a 1D Bose gas
J. Catani, G. Lamporesi, D. Naik +5
Using a species-selective dipole potential, we create initially localized impurities and investigate their interactions with a majority species of bosonic atoms in a one-dimensiona…
Propagation of acoustic surface waves on a phononic surface investigated by transient reflecting grating spectroscopy
I. Malfanti, A. Taschin, P. Bartolini +2
We present a study of surface acoustic waves (SAW) propagation on a 1D phononic surface (PS) by mean of an heterodyne-detected transient reflecting grating experiment. We excited a…
Coherent open-loop optimal control of light-harvesting dynamics
Filippo Caruso, Simone Montangero, Tommaso Calarco +2
We apply theoretically open-loop quantum optimal control techniques to provide methods for the verification of various quantum coherent transport mechanisms in natural and artifici…
Universal Spin Transport in a Strongly Interacting Fermi Gas
Ariel Sommer, Mark Ku, Giacomo Roati +1
Transport of fermions is central in many fields of physics. Electron transport runs modern technology, defining states of matter such as superconductors and insulators, and electro…
