Rotational Quantum Friction
Rongkuo Zhao, Alejandro Manjavacas, F. Javier García de Abajo +1
We investigate the frictional forces due to quantum fluctuations acting on a small sphere rotating near a surface. At zero temperature, we find the frictional force near a surface…
Temporal Quantum Control with Graphene
Alejandro Manjavacas, Sukosin Thongrattanasiri, Darrick E. Chang +1
We introduce a novel strategy for controlling the temporal evolution of a quantum system at the nanoscale. Our method relies on the use of graphene plasmons, which can be electrica…
Radiative Heat Transfer between Neighboring Particles
Alejandro Manjavacas, F. Javier Garcia de Abajo
The near-field interaction between two neighboring particles is known to produce enhanced radiative heat transfer. We advance in the understanding of this phenomenon by including t…
