Ultrafast All-Optical Switching via a Supersolid Phase Transition of Light
J. L. Figueiredo, J. T. Mendonça, H. Terças
We propose ultrafast all-optical switching exploiting the bistability between a spatially uniform photon superfluid and a spontaneously ordered supersolid in a driven-dissipative m…
Normal modes and shockwaves in cold atoms
Francisco Raposo, Hugo Terças
Numerical methods are developed to simulate the dynamics of atoms in a Magneto-Optic Trap (MOT), based on the fluid description of ultracold gases under laser cooling and magnetic…
Superdiffusion of vortices in two-component quantum fluids of light
M. Roldão, J. L. Figueiredo, P. Monteiro +2
The quantum diffusion of a vortex in a two-component quantum fluid of light is investigated. In these systems, the Kerr nonlinearity promotes interactions between the photons, disp…
Polytropic equilibrium and normal modes in cold atomic traps
H. Terças, J. T. Mendonça
The compressibility limit of a cold gas confined in a magneto-optical trap due to multiple scattering of light is a long-standing problem. This scattering mechanism induces long-ra…
