Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the acoustoelectric quantum vacuum

Ryan O. Behunin, Andrew Shepherd, Francesco Intravaia +1

The paper investigates how a constant drift of charge carriers faster than the speed of sound in acoustoelectric systems gives the quantum vacuum a thermal character, with an effec…

Noise and dynamics in acoustoelectric waveguides

Ryan O. Behunin, Andrew Shepherd, Ruoyu Yuan +5

We present a quantum field theoretic formulation of acoustoelectric interactions in waveguide-like systems of arbitrary cross-section. Building on an open quantum systems approach,…

Phonon decoherence produced by two-level tunneling states

Ryan O. Behunin, Taylor Ray, Dylan Chapman +3

Phonon modes within pristine crystalline resonators now routinely reach the quantum ground state. Such systems are attractive for quantum information science applications, as advan…

Noise dynamics in large mode volume Brillouin lasers

Andrew J. Shepherd, Daniel J. Blumenthal, Ryan O. Behunin

Photonic integrated Brillouin lasers have emerged as an important tool to realize a wide range of precision applications, including atomic time-keeping, low-noise microwave signal…

Frequency entangled W states and quantum frequency translation protocols via forward Brillouin interactions

Andrew J. Shepherd, Ryan O. Behunin

Complex quantum states of light are not only central to advancing our understanding of quantum mechanics, but are also necessary for a variety of quantum protocols. High-dimensiona…
