Ehrenfest approach to open double-well dynamics
Stephen Choi, Roberto Onofrio, Bala Sundaram
We consider an Ehrenfest approximation for a particle in a double-well potential in the presence of an external environment schematized as a finite resource heat bath. This allows…
Results from electrostatic calibrations for measuring the Casimir force in the cylinder-plane geometry
Q. Wei, D. A. R. Dalvit, F. C. Lombardo +2
We report on measurements performed on an apparatus aimed to study the Casimir force in the cylinder-plane configuration. The electrostatic calibrations evidence anomalous behavior…
Edge effects in electrostatic calibrations for the measurement of the Casimir force
Qun Wei, Roberto Onofrio
We have performed numerical simulations to evaluate the effect on the capacitance of finite size boundaries realistically present in the parallel plane, sphere-plane, and cylinder-…
Equilibrium states of a test particle coupled to finite size heat baths
Qun Wei, S. Taylor Smith, Roberto Onofrio
We report on numerical simulations of the dynamics of a test particle coupled to competing Boltzmann heat baths of finite size. After discussing some features of the single bath ca…
Are quantum measurements on macroscopic bodies feasible?
Roberto Onofrio
The possibility to test quantum measurement theories is discussed in the more phenomenological framework of the quantum nondemolition theory. A simple test of the hypothesis of the…
Quantum limit in resonant vacuum tunneling transducers
Roberto Onofrio, Carlo Presilla
We propose an electromechanical transducer based on a resonant-tunneling configuration that, with respect to the standard tunneling transducers, allows larger tunneling currents wh…
