Optomechanics assisted with a qubit: From dissipative state preparation to many-body physics
Anika C. Pflanzer, Oriol Romero-Isart, J. Ignacio Cirac
We propose and analyze nonlinear optomechanical protocols that can be implemented by adding a single atom to an optomechanical cavity. In particular, we show how to engineer the en…
Master equation approach to optomechanics with arbitrary dielectrics
Anika C. Pflanzer, Oriol Romero-Isart, J. Ignacio Cirac
We present a master equation describing the interaction of light with dielectric objects of arbitrary sizes and shapes. The quantum motion of the object, the quantum nature of ligh…
Material-barrier Tunneling in One-dimensional Few-boson Mixtures
Anika C. Pflanzer, Sascha Zöllner, Peter Schmelcher
We study the quantum dynamics of strongly interacting few-boson mixtures in one-dimensional traps. If one species is strongly localized compared to the other (e.g., much heavier),…
