Dynamical Casimir effects with atoms: from the emission of photon pairs to geometric phases
arXiv:2203.16387 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/ac6975
Abstract
The coupling between a moving ground-state atom and the quantum electromagnetic field is at the origin of several intriguing phenomena ranging from the dynamical Casimir emission of photons to Sagnac-like geometric phase shifts in atom interferometers. Recent progress in this emerging field reveals unprecedented connections between non-trivial aspects of modern physics such as electrodynamic retardation, non-unitary evolution in open quantum systems, geometric phases, non-locality and inertia.
