Third order nonlinear correlation of the electromagnetic vacuum at near-infrared frequencies
Francesca Fabiana Settembrini, Alexa Herter, Jèrôme Faist
In recent years, electro-optic sampling, which is based on Pockel's effect between an electromagnetic mode and a copropagating, phase-matched ultrashort probe, has been largely use…
Detection of quantum-vacuum field correlations outside the light cone
Francesca Fabiana Settembrini, Frieder Lindel, Alexa Marina Herter +2
According to quantum field theory, empty space -- the ground state of the theory with all real excitations removed -- is not empty at all, but filled with quantum-vacuum fluctuatio…
Probing the Purcell effect without radiative decay: Lessons in the frequency and time domains
Frieder Lindel, Francesca Fabiana Settembrini, Robert Bennett +1
The microscopic processes underlying electro-optic sampling of quantum-vacuum fluctuations are discussed, leading to the interpretation of these experiments in terms of an exchange…
Electric field correlation measurements on the electromagnetic vacuum state
Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus, Francesca Fabiana Settembrini, Giacomo Scalari +1
Quantum mechanics ascribes to the ground state of the electromagnetic radiation zero-point electric field fluctuations that permeate empty space at all frequencies. No energy can b…
