Oscillating Fields, Emergent Gravity and Particle Traps
arXiv:2310.02311 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.051601
Abstract
We study the large-scale dynamics of charged particles in a rapidly oscillating field and formulate its classical and quantum effective theory description. The high-order perturbative results for the effective action are presented. Remarkably, the action models the effects of general relativity on the motion of nonrelativistic particles, with the values of the emergent curvature and speed of light determined by the field spatial distribution and frequency. Our results can be applied to a wide range of physical problems including the high-precision analysis and design of the charged particle traps and Floquet quantum materials.
