Poor man's Majorana bound states in quantum dot based Kitaev chain coupled to a photonic cavity
Francesco Buonemani, Alvaro Gómez-León, Marco Schirò +1
Quantum dot based platforms offer a promising route towards realizing the Kitaev chain Hamiltonian hosting Majorana bound states (MBSs). Poor man's MBSs arise in a two-site Kitaev…
Plasmonic metamaterial time crystal
Tingwen Guo, Jules Sueiro, Gian Marcello Andolina +18
Periodically driven optical materials and metamaterials have recently emerged as a promising platform for realizing photonic time crystals (PTCs), which are systems whose optical p…
Electrostatics-induced breakdown of the integer quantum Hall effect in cavity QED
Gian Marcello Andolina, Zeno Bacciconi, Alberto Nardin +4
We address the prevailing theoretical explanation of the recently observed breakdown of the integer quantum Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas embedded in a metallic spl…
Floquet Theory of lattice electrons coupled to an off-resonant cavity
Jules Sueiro, Gian Marcello Andolina, Marco Schirò
We use Floquet theory and the High-Frequency expansion to derive an effective Hamiltonian for electrons coupled to an off resonant cavity mode, either in its vacuum or driven by cl…
Finite-frequency prethermalization in periodically driven ergodic systems
Lorenzo Correale, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Marco Schirò +1
We investigate the periodically driven dynamics of many-body systems, either classical or quantum, finite-dimensional or mean-field, displaying an unbounded phase-space. Using the…
