Quantum Optomechanics with Imperfect Mirrors and Casimir-Polder Effect of Atoms with Different Dynamic Polarizabilities: A Unified Treatment via a Microscopic Model

Bergen Dahl, Bei-Lok Hu

This work aims at bringing the microphysics model of quantum optomechanics (QOM) proposed in [1] and developed in [2, 3] one step closer to be applicable to realistic experimental…

Vacuum viscosity and relativistic inertia: Motion of a massive object with charged internal degrees of freedom interacting with a classical field

Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu

Our present investigation into a rather rudimentary problem is motivated by two classes of problems studied since the 70's, cosmological particle creation and its more accessible a…

Atom-Field-Medium Interactions II: Covariance Matrix Dynamics for Harmonic Atoms in a Dielectric-Altered Quantum Field and Effects of Dielectric on Atom-Field Entanglement

Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu

We continue our investigation of multi-partite open quantum systems comprising layers of structure using the atom-field-medium interactions as a familiarly important example. Same…

Foundational Issues in Dynamical Casimir Effect and Analogue Features in Cosmological Particle Creation

Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu

Moving mirrors as analogue sources of Hawking radiation from black holes have been explored extensively, less so with cosmological particle creation (CPC), even though the analogy…

Atom-Field-Medium Interactions I: Graded Influence Actions for Harmonic Atoms in a Dielectric-Altered Quantum Field

Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu

This series of papers has two broader aims: 1) Construct a theory for multi-partite open quantum systems comprising several layers of structure with self-consistent back-actions. D…

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Quantum Friction

Daniel Reiche, Francesco Intravaia, Jen-Tsung Hsiang +2

Thermodynamic principles are often deceptively simple and yet surprisingly powerful. We show how a simple rule, such as the net flow of energy in and out of a moving atom under non…

Distance and Coupling Dependence of Entanglement in the Presence of a Quantum Field

Jen-Tsung Hsiang, B. L. Hu

We study the entanglement between two coupled detectors, whose internal degrees of freedom are modeled by harmonic oscillators, interacting with a common quantum field, paying spec…
