Finite de Finetti theorem for conditional probability distributions describing physical theories

Matthias Christandl, Ben Toner

We work in a general framework where the state of a physical system is defined by its behaviour under measurement and the global state is constrained by no-signalling conditions. W…

Monitoring atom-atom entanglement and decoherence in a solvable tripartite open system in cavity QED

Matteo Bina, Federico Casagrande, Alfredo Lulli +1

We present a fully analytical solution of the dynamics of two strongly-driven atoms resonantly coupled to a dissipative cavity field mode. We show that an initial atom-atom entangl…

Mesoscopic Spin-Boson Models of Trapped Ions

D. Porras, F. Marquardt, J. von Delft +1

Trapped ions arranged in Coulomb crystals provide us with the elements to study the physics of a single spin coupled to a boson bath. In this work we show that optical forces allow…

A number filter for matter-waves

G. Nandi, A. Sizmann, J. Fortágh +1

In current Bose-Einstein condensate experiments, the shot-to-shot variation of atom number fluctuates up to 10%. In here, we present a procedure to suppress such fluctuations by us…

Experimental demonstration of a quantum protocol for Byzantine agreement and liar detection

Sascha Gaertner, Mohamed Bourennane, Christian Kurtsiefer +2

We introduce a new quantum protocol for solving detectable Byzantine agreement (also called detectable broadcast) between three parties, and also for solving the detectable liar de…

Optical polarizabilities of large molecules measured in near-field interferometry

Lucia Hackermueller, Klaus Hornberger, Stefan Gerlich +3

We discuss a novel application of matter wave interferometry to characterize the scalar optical polarizability of molecules at 532 nm. The interferometer presented here consists of…

Strong dispersive coupling of a high finesse cavity to a micromechanical membrane

J. D. Thompson, B. M. Zwickl, A. M. Jayich +3

Macroscopic mechanical objects and electromagnetic degrees of freedom couple to each other via radiation pressure. Optomechanical systems with sufficiently strong coupling are pred…

Relaxation dynamics of a quantum Brownian particle in an ideal gas

Bassano Vacchini, Klaus Hornberger

We show how the quantum analog of the Fokker-Planck equation for describing Brownian motion can be obtained as the diffusive limit of the quantum linear Boltzmann equation. The lat…

Dirac Cat States in Relativistic Landau Levels

A. Bermudez, M. A. Martin-Delgado, E. Solano

We show that a relativistic version of Schrodinger cat states, here called Dirac cat states, can be built in relativistic Landau levels when an external magnetic field couples to a…

Strong atom-field coupling for Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical cavity on a chip

Yves Colombe, Tilo Steinmetz, Guilhem Dubois +3

An optical cavity enhances the interaction between atoms and light, and the rate of coherent atom-photon coupling can be made larger than all decoherence rates of the system. For s…

Table-top creation of entangled multi-keV photon pairs via the Unruh effect

Ralf Schützhold, Gernot Schaller, Dietrich Habs

Electrons moving in a strong periodic electromagnetic field (e.g., laser or undulator) may convert quantum vacuum fluctuations into pairs of entangled photons, which can be underst…

Exact Mapping of the 2+1 Dirac Oscillator onto the Jaynes-Cummings Model: Ion-Trap Experimental Proposal

A. Bermudez, M. A. Martin-Delgado, E. Solano

We study the dynamics of the 2+1 Dirac oscillator exactly and find spin oscillations due to a {\it Zitterbewegung} of purely relativistic origin. We find an exact mapping of this q…
