Excitation injector in an atomic chain: long-ranged transport and efficiency amplification
Pierre Doyeux, Riccardo Messina, Bruno Leggio +1
We investigate the transport of energy in a linear chain of two-level quantum emitters ("atoms") weakly coupled to a blackbody radiation bath. We show that, simply by displacing on…
Quantum thermal machines with single nonequilibrium environments
Bruno Leggio, Bruno Bellomo, Mauro Antezza
We propose a scheme for a quantum thermal machine made by atoms interacting with a single non-equilibrium electromagnetic field. The field is produced by a simple configuration of…
Non equilibrium dissipation-driven steady many-body entanglement
Bruno Bellomo, Mauro Antezza
We study an ensemble of two-level quantum systems (qubits) interacting with a common electromagnetic field in proximity of a dielectric slab whose temperature is held different fro…
Casimir-Lifshitz force out of thermal equilibrium between dielectric gratings
Antonio Noto, Riccardo Messina, Brahim Guizal +1
We calculate the Casimir-Lifshitz pressure in a system consisting of two different 1D dielectric lamellar gratings having two different temperatures and immersed in an environment…
Optomechanical Rydberg-atom excitation via dynamic Casimir-Polder coupling
Mauro Antezza, Caterina Braggio, Giovanni Carugno +5
We study the optomechanical coupling of a oscillating effective mirror with a Rydberg atomic gas, mediated by the dynamical atom-mirror Casimir-Polder force. This coupling may prod…
Quantum systems in a stationary environment out of thermal equilibrium
Bruno Bellomo, Riccardo Messina, Didier Felbacq +1
We discuss how the thermalization of an elementary quantum system is modified when the system is placed in an environment out of thermal equilibrium. To this aim we provide a detai…
