Violation of the PT-symmetry and structure formation in the dark matter-gravitational wave interaction
Catarina Bastos, Hugo Terças
In flat spacetime, quantum fluctuations in dark matter, as described as a Bose-Einstein condensate, are stable and display a relativistic Bogoliubov dispersion relation. In the wea…

Sympathetic laser-cooling of graphene with Casimir-Polder forces
Sofia Ribeiro, Hugo Terças
We propose a scheme to actively cool the fundamental flexural (out-of-plane) mode of a graphene sheet via vacuum forces. Our setup consists in a cold atom cloud placed close to a g…

Quantum Thermal Machines Fuelled by Vacuum Forces
Hugo Terças, Sofia Ribeiro, Marco Pezzutto +1
We propose a quantum thermal machine composed of two nanomechanical resonators (NMR) (two membranes suspended over a trench in a substrate), placed a few m from each other. The…
