Anisotropic quantum emitter interactions in two-dimensional photonic-crystal baths

A. González-Tudela, F. Galve

Quantum emitters interacting with two-dimensional photonic-crystal baths experience strong and anisotropic collective dissipation when they are spectrally tuned to 2D Van-Hove sing…

Single photons by quenching the vacuum

Eduardo Sánchez-Burillo, Luis Martín-Moreno, Juan José García-Ripoll +1

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle implies that the quantum vacuum is not empty but fluctuates. These fluctuations can be converted into radiation through nonadiabatic changes in t…

Collective operations can extremely reduce work fluctuations

Martí Perarnau-Llobet, Raam Uzdin

We consider work extraction from copies of a quantum system. When the same work-extraction process is implemented on each copy, the relative size of fluctuations is expected to…
