Exact dynamics of a single-photon emitter in front of a mirror
Mateusz Duda, Thomas Hartwell, Daniel Hodgson +3
Single-photon emitters in nanophotonic structures are a key building block for many photonic devices with quantum technology applications, like quantum sensors and quantum computer…
Modeling acceleration without photon pair creation
Sara Kanzi, Daniel Hodgson, Almut Beige
The Unruh effect predicts that a uniformly accelerating observer will find themselves in a thermal bath of photons, where a resting observer would not see any. However, since Maxwe…
Photon emission without quantum jumps
Thomas Hartwell, Daniel Hodgson, Huda Alshemmari +2
When modelling photon emission, we often assume that the emitter experiences a random quantum jump. When a quantum jump occurs, the emitter transitions suddenly into a lower energy…
Enhancing wave-particle duality
Arwa Bukhari, Daniel Hodgson, Sara Kanzi +2
To enhance the consistency between the quantum descriptions of waves and particles, we quantise mechanical point particles in this paper in the same physically-motivated way as we…
Towards Timetronics with Photonic Systems
Ali Emami Kopaei, Karthik Subramaniam Eswaran, Arkadiusz Kosior +5
Periodic driving of particles can create crystalline structures in their dynamics. Such systems can be used to study solid-state physics phenomena in the time domain. In addition,…
Local-photon model of the momentum of light
Gabriel Waite, Daniel Hodgson, Ben Lang +2
Recently we introduced a local photon approach for modelling the quantised electromagnetic field in position space. Using this approach, we define the momentum of light in this pap…
