Two-dimensional disorder for broadband, omnidirectional and polarization-insensitive absorption

Matteo Burresi, Filippo Pratesi, Kevin Vynck +3

The surface of thin-film solar cells can be tailored with photonic nanostructures to allow light trapping in the absorbing medium. This in turn increases the optical thickness of t…

Direct evaporative cooling of 39K atoms to Bose-Einstein condensation

Manuele Landini, Sanjukta Roy, Giacomo Roati +4

We report the realization of Bose-Einstein condensates of 39K atoms without the aid of an additional atomic coolant. Our route to Bose-Einstein condensation comprises Sub Doppler l…

Metallo-dielectric hybrid antennas for ultrastrong enhancement of spontaneous emission

Xue-Wen Chen, Mario Agio, Vahid Sandoghdar

We devise new optical antennas that reduce the excited-state radiative lifetimes of emitters to the order of 100 femtoseconds while maintaining quantum efficiencies of about 80% at…

Quantum Criticality in a Bosonic Josephson Junction

P. Buonsante, R. Burioni, E. Vescovi +1

In this paper we consider a bosonic Josephson junction described by a two-mode Bose-Hubbard model, and we thoroughly analyze a quantum phase transition occurring in the system in t…
