Quantum field heat engine powered by phonon-photon interactions
Alessandro Ferreri, Vincenzo Macrì, Frank K. Wilhelm +2
We present a quantum heat engine based on a cavity with two oscillating mirrors that confine a quantum field as the working substance. The engine performs an Otto cycle during whic…
Quantum vibrational mode in a cavity confining a massless spinor field
Alessandro Ferreri
We analyse the reaction of a massless (1+1)-dimensional spinor field to the harmonic motion of one cavity wall. In our model, the oscillation amplitude of the harmonic oscillator i…
Interplay between optomechanics and the dynamical Casimir effect
Alessandro Ferreri, Hannes Pfeifer, Frank K. Wilhelm +2
We develop a model of a quantum field confined within a cavity with a movable wall where the position of the wall is quantized. We obtain a full description of the dynamics of both…
Two-colour spectrally multimode integrated SU(1,1) interferometer
Alessandro Ferreri, Polina R. Sharapova
Multimode integrated interferometers have great potential for both spectral engineering and metrological applications. However, material dispersion of integrated platforms constitu…
Flexible source of correlated photons based on LNOI rib waveguides
L. Ebers, A. Ferreri, M. Hammer +4
Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) has a great potential for photonic integrated circuits, providing substantial versatility in design of various integrated components. To properl…
Quantum optical coherence: From linear to nonlinear interferometers
K. -H. Luo, M. Santandrea, M. Stefszky +6
Interferometers provide a highly sensitive means to investigate and exploit the coherence properties of light in metrology applications. However, interferometers come in various fo…
Spectrally multimode integrated SU(1,1) interferometer
Alessandro Ferreri, Matteo Santandrea, Michael Stefszky +4
Nonlinear SU(1,1) interferometers are fruitful and promising tools for spectral engineering and precise measurements with phase sensitivity below the classical bound. Such interfer…
Collective spontaneous emission of two entangled atoms near an oscillating mirror
Marta Reina, Michelangelo Domina, Alessandro Ferreri +4
We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state and in the presence of an oscill…
Spatial entanglement and state engineering via four-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel interference
A. Ferreri, V. Ansari, B. Brecht +2
The phenomenon of entanglement is the basis of quantum information and quantum communication processes. Entangled systems with a large number of photons are of great interest at pr…
Spontaneous emission of an atom near an oscillating mirror
Alessandro Ferreri, Michelangelo Domina, Lucia Rizzuto +1
We investigate the spontaneous emission of one atom placed near an oscillating reflecting plate. We consider the atom modeled as a two-level system, interacting with the quantum el…
The multimode four-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel interference
A. Ferreri, V. Ansari, C. Silberhorn +1
The two-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is a pure quantum effect which indicates the degree of indistinguishability of photons. The four-photon HOM interference exhibits r…
