Quantum heat engine based on quantum interferometry: the SU(1,1) Otto cycle
Alessandro Ferreri, Hui Wang, Franco Nori +2
We present a quantum heat engine based on a quantum Otto cycle, whose working substance reproduces the same outcomes of a SU(1,1) interference process at the end of each adiabatic…
Quantum simulation in hybrid transmission lines
Alessandro Ferreri, Frank K. Wilhelm
Platforms based on transmission lines are nowadays employed for the simulation of standard phenomena in quantum electrodynamics and quantum field theory. In this work, we propose a…
Bounding the rotating wave approximation for coupled harmonic oscillators
Tim Heib, Paul Lageyre, Alessandro Ferreri +5
In this work we study the validity of the rotating wave approximation of an ideal system composed of two harmonic oscillators evolving with a quadratic Hamiltonian and arbitrarily…
Particle creation in left-handed metamaterial transmission lines
Alessandro Ferreri, David Edward Bruschi, Frank K. Wilhelm
Transmission lines are excellent examples of quantum simulators of quantum fields. By appropriately driving specific circuit elements, these devices can reproduce relativistic and…
Phonon-photon conversion as mechanism for cooling and coherence transfer
Alessandro Ferreri, David Edward Bruschi, Frank K. Wilhelm +2
The dynamical Casimir effect is the physical phenomenon where the mechanical energy of a movable wall of a cavity confining a quantum field can be converted into quanta of the fiel…
