Nonlinear Diamagnetic Interactions in Ultrastrongly Coupled 2D Electrons
Dasom Kim, Kiran M. Kulkarni, Vaibhav Sharma +15
The quantum Hopfield model is widely used to describe ultrastrong light--matter coupling between cavity photons and collective bosonic excitations in solids, where the diamagnetic…
Quantum Semiconductor Heterostructures for meV Axion Dark Matter Detection
Jaanita Mehrani, Tao Xu, Andrey Baydin +6
We propose a novel strategy and a new class of detectors for the direct detection of axion dark matter in the meV mass range, based on resonantly enhanced axion-photon conversion t…
Chip-Scale Aligned Chiral Carbon Nanotubes Exhibiting Giant Second Harmonic Generation
Rui Xu, Jacques Doumani, Viktor Labuntsov +16
Chiral carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are direct-gap semiconductors with optical properties governed by one-dimensional excitons with enormous oscillator strengths. Each species of chiral…
Floquet Engineering of a Quasiequilibrium Superradiant Phase Transition in Landau Polaritons
Wen-Hua Wu, Fuyang Tay, Mengqian Che +3
Superradiant phase transitions (SRPTs), characterized by photon condensation and macroscopic matter polarization, are forbidden in equilibrium for homogeneous fields by no-go theor…
Single-Crystal, Single-Chirality, Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Heterostructures for Optoelectronics: An Opinion
Ting-Wei Chang, Gustavo M. Rodriguez-Barrios, Andrey Baydin +1
The extraordinary one-dimensional properties of carbon nanotubes have captivated scientists and engineers since their discovery in the early 1990s. In particular, semiconducting si…
Vacuum-dressed superconductivity in NbN observed in a high- terahertz cavity
Hongjing Xu, Andrey Baydin, Qinyan Yi +8
Emerging theoretical frameworks suggest that physical properties of matter can be altered within an optical cavity by harnessing quantum vacuum electromagnetic fluctuations, even i…
