Effects of discrete topology on quantum transport across a graphene junction: A quantum gravity analogue

Naveed Ahmad Shah, Alonso Contreras-Astorga, François Fillion-Gourdeau +3

In this article, we investigate the effect of next-to-the-nearest atom hopping on Klein tunnelling in graphene. An effective quantum dynamics equation is obtained based on an emerg…

Two-dimensional Dirac matter in the semiclassical regime

F. Fillion-Gourdeau, E. Lorin, S. Maclean

The semiclassical regime of 2D static Dirac matter is obtained from the Dirac equation in curved space-time. To simplify the formulation, the Cartesian space-time geometry parametr…

Pulse shape optimization for electron-positron production in rotating fields

François Fillion-Gourdeau, Florian Hebenstreit, Denis Gagnon +1

We optimize the pulse shape and polarization of time-dependent electric fields to maximize the production of electron-positron pairs via strong field quantum electrodynamics proces…

Efficient state initialization by a quantum spectral filtering algorithm

F. Fillion-Gourdeau, S. MacLean, R. Laflamme

An algorithm that initializes a quantum register to a state with a specified energy range is given, corresponding to a quantum implementation of the celebrated Feit-Fleck method. T…

Scheme for the detection of mixing processes in vacuum

F. Fillion-Gourdeau, C. Lefebvre, S. MacLean

A scheme for the detection of photons generated by vacuum mixing processes is proposed. The strategy consists in the utilization of a high numerical aperture parabolic mirror which…

Formal analogy between the Dirac equation in its Majorana form and the discrete-velocity version of the Boltzmann kinetic equation

F. Fillion-Gourdeau, H. J. Herrmann, M. Mendoza +2

We point out a formal analogy between the Dirac equation in Majorana form and the discrete-velocity version of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. By a systematic analysis based on the…
