Interaction of Mechanical Oscillators Mediated by the Exchange of Virtual Photon Pairs
Omar Di Stefano, Alessio Settineri, Vincenzo Macrì +5
Two close parallel mirrors attract due to a small force (Casimir effect) originating from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum uctuations of the electromagnetic field. These vacuum u…
Non-perturbative Dynamical Casimir Effect in Optomechanical Systems: Vacuum Casimir-Rabi Splittings
Vincenzo Macrì, Alessandro Ridolfo, Omar Di Stefano +3
We study the dynamical Casimir effect using a fully quantum-mechanical description of both the cavity field and the oscillating mirror. We do not linearize the dynamics, nor do we…
Quantum Nonlinear Optics without Photons
Roberto Stassi, Vincenzo Macrì, Anton Frisk Kockum +4
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion is a well-known process in quantum nonlinear optics in which a photon incident on a nonlinear crystal spontaneously splits into two photons.…
Frequency conversion in ultrastrong cavity QED
Anton Frisk Kockum, Vincenzo Macrì, Luigi Garziano +2
We propose a new method for frequency conversion of photons which is both versatile and deterministic. We show that a system with two resonators ultrastrongly coupled to a single q…
Deterministic quantum nonlinear optics with single atoms and virtual photons
Anton Frisk Kockum, Adam Miranowicz, Vincenzo Macrì +2
We show how analogues of a large number of well-known nonlinear-optics phenomena can be realized with one or more two-level atoms coupled to one or more resonator modes. Through hi…
