Environment-induced heating in sonoluminescence experiments
Almut Beige, Antonio Capolupo, Andreas Kurcz
This paper discusses a quantum optical heating mechanism which might play an important role in sonoluminescence experiments. We suggest that this mechanism occurs during the final…

Emission of photons through cavity mirrors in the absence of external driving
Almut Beige, Antonio Capolupo, Andreas Kurcz +2
We present a mechanism of energy concentration in a system composed by an optical cavity and a large number of strongly confined atoms, which cannot be described in the rotating wa…

Sonoluminescence and quantum optical heating
Andreas Kurcz, Antonio Capolupo, Almut Beige
Sonoluminescence is the intriguing phenomenon of strong light flashes from tiny bubbles in a liquid. The bubbles are driven by an ultrasonic wave and need to be filled with noble g…
