Microfabrication of large area high-stress silicon nitride membranes for optomechanical devices
E. Serra, M. Bawaj, A. Borrielli +16
In view of the integration of membrane resonators with more complex MEMS structures, we developed a general fabrication procedure for circular shape SiN membranes using Deep Re…
Finite-temperature effects on interacting bosonic 1D systems in disordered lattices
Lorenzo Gori, Thomas Barthel, Avinash Kumar +7
We analyze the finite-temperature effects on the phase diagram describing the insulating properties of interacting 1D bosons in a quasi-periodic lattice. We examine thermal effects…
Witnessing Multipartite Entanglement without Entanglement Witness Operators
Luca Pezze, Yan Li, Weidong Li +1
Quantum mechanics predicts the existence of correlations between composite systems -- multipartite entanglement (ME) -- that, while puzzling our physical intuition, enable technolo…
Tests of Quantum Gravity induced non-locality via opto-mechanical quantum oscillators
Alessio Belenchia, Dionigi M. T. Benincasa, Stefano Liberati +3
Several quantum gravity scenarios lead to physics below the Planck scale characterised by nonlocal, Lorentz invariant equations of motion. We show that such non-local effective fie…
Satisfying the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen criterion with massive particles
J. Peise, I. Kruse, K. Lange +8
In 1935, Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) questioned the completeness of quantum mechanics by devising a quantum state of two massive particles with maximally correlated space an…
Interaction-free measurements by quantum Zeno stabilisation of ultracold atoms
J. Peise, B. Lücke, L. Pezzè +6
Quantum mechanics predicts that our physical reality is influenced by events that can potentially happen but factually do not occur. Interaction-free measurements (IFMs) exploit th…
Robust luminescence of the silicon-vacancy center in diamond at high temperatures
Stefano Lagomarsino, Federico Gorelli, Mario Santoro +13
We performed high-temperature luminescence studies of silicon-vacancy color centers obtained by ion implantation in single crystal diamond. We observed reduction of the integrated…
Mott Transition for Strongly-Interacting 1D Bosons in a Shallow Periodic Potential
G. Boéris, L. Gori, M. D. Hoogerland +9
We investigate the superfluid-insulator transition of one-dimensional interacting Bosons in both deep and shallow periodic potentials. We compare a theoretical analysis based on Mo…
Diffusion of light in semitransparent media
Lorenzo Pattelli, Giacomo Mazzamuto, Diederik Wiersma +1
Light diffusion is usually associated with thick, opaque media. Indeed, multiple scattering is necessary for the onset of the diffusive regime and such condition is generally not m…
Deducing effective light transport parameters in optically thin systems
Giacomo Mazzamuto, Lorenzo Pattelli, Costanza Toninelli +1
We present an extensive Monte Carlo study on light transport in optically thin slabs, addressing both axial and transverse propagation. We completely characterize the so-called bal…
A strongly interacting gas of two-electron fermions at an orbital Feshbach resonance
G. Pagano, M. Mancini, G. Cappellini +5
We report on the experimental observation of a strongly interacting gas of ultracold two-electron fermions with orbital degree of freedom and magnetically tunable interactions. Thi…
Trapping molecules on chips
Gabriele Santambrogio
In the last years, it was demonstrated that neutral molecules can be loaded on a microchip directly from a supersonic beam. The molecules are confined in microscopic traps that can…
Dynamical two-mode squeezing of thermal fluctuations in a cavity opto-mechanical system
A. Pontin, M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli +7
We report the experimental observation of two-mode squeezing in the oscillation quadratures of a thermal micro-oscillator. This effect is obtained by parametric modulation of the o…
Semiclassical excited-state signatures of quantum phase transitions in spin chains with variable-range interactions
Manuel Gessner, Victor Manuel Bastidas, Tobias Brandes +1
We study the excitation spectrum of a family of transverse-field spin chain models with variable interaction range and arbitrary spin , which in the case of interpolates…
Spatio-temporal visualization of light transport in complex photonic structures
Lorenzo Pattelli, Romolo Savo, Matteo Burresi +1
Spatio-temporal imaging of light propagation is very important in photonics because it provides the most direct tool available to study the interaction between light and its host e…
Josephson effect in fermionic superfluids across the BEC-BCS crossover
G. Valtolina, A. Burchianti, A. Amico +8
We report on the observation of the Josephson effect between two strongly interacting fermionic superfluids coupled through a thin tunneling barrier. We prove that the relative pop…
Path length enhancement in disordered media for increased absorption
Rajeshkumar Mupparapu, Kevin Vynck, Tomas Svensson +2
We theoretically and numerically investigate the capability of disordered media to enhance the optical path length in dielectric slabs and augment their light absorption efficiency…
Zero-area single photon pulses
L. S. Costanzo, A. S. Coelho, D. Pellegrino +6
Broadband single photons are usually considered not to couple efficiently to atomic gases because of the large mismatch in bandwidth. Contrary to this intuitive picture, here we de…
A compact ultranarrow high-power laser system for experiments with 578nm Ytterbium clock transition
Giacomo Cappellini, Pietro Lombardi, Marco Mancini +4
In this paper we present the realization of a compact, high-power laser system able to excite the Ytterbium clock transition at 578 nm. Starting from an external-cavity laser based…
Quantum state reconstruction on Atom-Chips
Cosimo Lovecchio, Shahid Cherukattil, Barbara Cilenti +5
We realize on an Atom-Chip a practical, experimentally undemanding, tomographic reconstruction algorithm relying on the time-resolved measurements of the atomic population distribu…
Observation of noise-assisted transport in an all-optical cavity-based network
Silvia Viciani, Manuela Lima, Marco Bellini +1
Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shown the remarkable and counter-intuitive role of noise in enhancing the transport efficiency of complex systems. Here, we realize…

Ultra-precise optical clocks in space will allow new studies in fundamental physics and astronomy. Within an European Space Agency (ESA) program, the Space Optical Clocks (SOC) pro…
Observation of chiral edge states with neutral fermions in synthetic Hall ribbons
M. Mancini, G. Pagano, G. Cappellini +8
Chiral edge states are a hallmark of quantum Hall physics. In electronic systems, they appear as a macroscopic consequence of the cyclotron orbits induced by a magnetic field, whic…
