Surface charges in a Rydberg atom-nanowaveguide hybrid quantum system
Aswathy Raj, Anna Kortel, Krishna Jadeja +4
Hybrid quantum platforms based on highly excited Rydberg atoms coupled to nanophotonics devices offer a promising route toward scalable quantum networks and integrated quantum tech…
Spectral and spatial filtering of whispering gallery modes in precision-engineered microbubble resonators
Ramgopal Madugani, Amal Jose, Christophe Pin +3
Similar to microspheres, thin-walled microbubble resonators support whispering gallery modes (WGMs) that combine ultrahigh Q-factors and small effective mode volumes. In contrast,…
X-ray microcomputed tomography of 3D chaotic microcavities
Ke Tian, Mohammed Zia Jalaludeen, Yeon Ui Lee +2
Chaotic microcavities play a crucial role in several research areas, including the study of unidirectional microlasers, nonlinear optics, sensing, quantum chaos, and non-Hermitian…
