Dynamical Casimir photons from rotation of a nonspherical particle
Guilherme C. Matos, Lucas Bianchi, Jeremy N. Munday +3
We consider a non-spherical neutral particle spinning in free space and interacting with the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. When the rotation axis is orthogonal to the particle sy…
The Dance of the Sheared Eigenfunctions
J. Oliveira-Cony, Reinaldo de Melo e Souza, F. S. S. Rosa +1
In this work, we delve into the theory of sheared potentials in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. After defining what we mean by a family of sheared potentials, we consider these…
Microscopic Quantum Friction
Pedro H. Pereira, F. Impens, C. Farina +2
We report on a microscopic theory of quantum friction. Our approach investigates the interplay between the dispersive response and the relative center-of-mass motion of two ground-…
Tailoring the van der Waals interaction with rotation
H. S. G. Amaral, P. P. Abrantes, F. Impens +2
We report a systematic procedure to engineer the van der Waals force between levitated nanoparticles in high vacuum by setting them into a fast rotation. By tuning the rotation fre…
Enhancement of Electric Drive in Silicon Quantum Dots with Electric Quadrupole Spin Resonance
Philip Y. Mai, Pedro H. Pereira, Lucas Andrade Alonso +19
Quantum computation with electron spin qubits requires coherent and efficient manipulation of these spins, typically accomplished through the application of alternating magnetic or…
