Interaction of Mechanical Oscillators Mediated by the Exchange of Virtual Photon Pairs
Omar Di Stefano, Alessio Settineri, Vincenzo Macrì +5
Two close parallel mirrors attract due to a small force (Casimir effect) originating from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum uctuations of the electromagnetic field. These vacuum u…
Photodetection probability in quantum systems with arbitrarily strong light-matter interaction
Omar Di Stefano, Anton Frisk Kockum, Alessandro Ridolfo +2
Cavity-QED systems have recently reached a regime where the light-matter interaction strength amounts to a non-negligible fraction of the resonance frequencies of the bare subsyste…
Non-perturbative Dynamical Casimir Effect in Optomechanical Systems: Vacuum Casimir-Rabi Splittings
Vincenzo Macrì, Alessandro Ridolfo, Omar Di Stefano +3
We study the dynamical Casimir effect using a fully quantum-mechanical description of both the cavity field and the oscillating mirror. We do not linearize the dynamics, nor do we…
Hidden Vacuum Rabi oscillations: Dynamical Quantum Superpositions of On/Off Interaction between a Single Quantum Dot and a Microcavity
A. Ridolfo, R. Stassi, O. Di Stefano
We show that it is possible to realize quantum superpositions of switched-on and -off strong light-matter interaction in a single quantum dot- semiconductor microcavity system. Suc…
Quantum Nonlinear Optics without Photons
Roberto Stassi, Vincenzo Macrì, Anton Frisk Kockum +4
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion is a well-known process in quantum nonlinear optics in which a photon incident on a nonlinear crystal spontaneously splits into two photons.…
