Mechanical back-reaction effect of the dynamical Casimir emission
arXiv:1810.11281 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.99.053815
Abstract
We consider an optical cavity enclosed by a freely moving mirror attached to a spring and we study the quantum friction effect exerted by the dynamical Casimir emission on the mechanical motion of the mirror. Observable signatures of this simplest example of back-reaction effect are studied in both the ring-down oscillations of the mirror motion and in its steady-state motion under a monochromatic force. Analytical expressions are found in simple yet relevant cases and compared to complete numerical solution of the master equation. A circuit-QED device allowing for experimental observation of the effect with state-of-the-art technology is proposed and theoretically characterized.
