Quantum Potential from the Material Derivative of the Osmotic Velocity: A Two-Fluid Madelung Framework

Lachezar Simeonov

We derive the quantum potential directly from the material derivative of the osmotic velocity and formulate a two-fluid model that reproduces the Madelung equations. Interactions b…

Derivation of Schrodinger's equation from the Hamilton-Jacobi and the Eikonal equations

Lachezar S. Simeonov

Most authors of textbooks on quantum mechanics either postulate or sketch a short `ad hoc` derivation of Schrodinger's equation. In this work we give a detailed derivation of Schro…

Intuitive Derivation of the Coriolis Force

Lachezar S. Simeonov

The major difficulty when one teaches about non-inertial reference frames in undergraduate courses on Classical Mechanics is to find an intuitive way to derive the Coriolis acceler…

Mechanical model of the inhomogeneous Maxwell's equations and of Lorentz transformations

Lachezar S. Simeonov

We present a mechanical model of a quasi-elastic body (aether) which reproduces Maxwell's equations with charges and currents. Major criticism against mechanical models of electrod…

Stopped and stationary light at the single-photon level inside a hollow-core fiber

Thorsten Peters, Ta-Pang Wang, Antje Neumann +2

An experimental platform operating at the level of individual quanta and providing strong light-matter coupling is a key requirement for quantum information processing. We report o…

Compensation of the trap-induced quadrupole interaction in trapped Rydberg ions

Lachezar S. Simeonov, Nikolay V. Vitanov, Peter A. Ivanov

The quadrupole interaction between the Rydberg electronic states of a Rydberg ion and the radio frequency electric field of the ion trap is analyzed. Such a coupling is negligible…

Stationary light pulses and narrowband light storage in a laser-cooled ensemble loaded into a hollow-core fiber

Frank Blatt, Lachezar S. Simeonov, Thomas Halfmann +1

We report on the first observation of stationary light pulses and narrowband light storage inside a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. Laser-cooled atoms were first loaded into th…
