Nonlinear theory of laser-induced dipolar interactions in arbitrary geometry
Ephraim Shahmoon, Gershon Kurizki
Polarizable dipoles, such as atoms, molecules or nanoparticles, subject to laser radiation, may attract or repel each other. We derive a general formalism in which such laser-induc…
Dynamical control of state transfer through noisy quantum channels: optimal tradeoff of speed and fidelity
Analia Zwick, Gonzalo A. Alvarez, Guy Bensky +1
We propose a method of optimally controlling state transfer through a noisy quantum channel (spin-chain). This process is treated as qubit state-transfer through a fermionic bath.…
Heat-machine control by quantum-state preparation: from quantum engines to refrigerators
David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Gershon Kurizki
We explore the dependence of the performance bounds of heat engines and refrigerators on the initial quantum state and the subsequent evolution of their piston, modeled by a quanti…
Non-additivity in laser-illuminated many-atom systems
Ephraim Shahmoon, Igor Mazets, Gershon Kurizki
We show that atoms subject to laser radiation may form a non-additive many-body system on account of their long-range forces, when the atoms are trapped in the vicinity of a fiber…
Work and energy gain of heat-pumped quantized amplifiers
David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Robert Alicki, Gershon Kurizki
We investigate heat-pumped single-mode amplifiers of quantized fields in high-Q cavities based on non-inverted two-level systems. Their power generation is shown to crucially depen…
Giant vacuum forces via transmission lines
Ephraim Shahmoon, Igor Mazets, Gershon Kurizki
Quantum electromagnetic fluctuations induce forces between neutral particles, known as the van der Waals (vdW) and Casimir interactions. These fundamental forces, mediated by virtu…
