Nonlinear quantum optomechanics in a Fano-mirror microcavity system

Lei Du, Juliette Monsel, Witlef Wieczorek +1

We study a Fano-mirror optomechanical system in the quantum nonlinear regime. In this system, two strongly lossy optical modes hybridize through both coherent and dissipative coupl…

Role of electron-electron interaction in the Mpemba effect in quantum dots

Juliane Graf, Janine Splettstoesser, Juliette Monsel

The Mpemba effect has initially been noticed in macroscopic systems -- namely that hot water can freeze faster than cold water -- but recently its extension to open quantum systems…
