Entanglement entropy of dispersive media from thermodynamic entropy in one higher dimension
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Homer Reid
A dispersive medium becomes entangled with zero-point fluctuations in the vacuum. We consider an arbitrary array of material bodies weakly interacting with a quantum field and comp…
Fractional Quantum Hall States of Rydberg Polaritons
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Norman Y. Yao, Mohammad Hafezi +3
We propose a scheme for realizing fractional quantum Hall states of light. In our scheme, photons of two polarizations are coupled to different atomic Rydberg states to form two fl…
Scattering resonances and bound states for strongly interacting Rydberg polaritons
P. Bienias, S. Choi, O. Firstenberg +5
We provide a theoretical framework describing slow-light polaritons interacting via atomic Rydberg states. We use a diagrammatic method to analytically derive the scattering proper…
Nonequilibrium quantum fluctuations of a dispersive medium: Spontaneous emission, photon statistics, entropy generation, and stochastic motion
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Robert L. Jaffe, Mehran Kardar
We study the implications of quantum fluctuations of a dispersive medium, under steady rotation, either in or out of thermal equilibrium with its environment. A rotating object exh…
