Decoherence in excited atoms by low-energy scattering
Diego A. Quiñones, Benjamin Varcoe
We describe a new mechanism of decoherence in excited atoms as a result of thermal particles scattering by the atomic nucleus. It is based on the idea that a single scattering will…

Semiclassical approach to atomic decoherence by gravitational waves
Diego A. Quiñones, Benjamin Varcoe
A new heuristic model of interaction of an atomic system with a gravitational wave is proposed. In it, the gravitational wave alters the local electromagnetic field of the atomic n…

Quantum principle of sensing gravitational waves: From the zero-point fluctuations to the cosmological stochastic background of spacetime
Diego A. Quinones, Teodora Oniga, Benjamin T. H. Varcoe +1
We carry out a theoretical investigation on the collective dynamics of an ensemble of correlated atoms, subject to both vacuum fluctuations of spacetime and stochastic gravitationa…
