Will a decaying atom feel a friction force?
Matthias Sonnleitner, Nils Trautmann, Stephen M. Barnett
We show how a simple calculation leads to the surprising result that an excited two-level atom moving through vacuum sees a tiny friction force of first order in v/c. At first sigh…
Efficient single photon absorption by a trapped moving atom
Nils Trautmann, Gernot Alber, Gerd Leuchs
The influence of the center of mass motion of a trapped two level system on efficient resonant single photon absorption is investigated. It is shown that this absorption process de…
Generation of entangled matter qubits in two opposing parabolic mirrors
N. Trautmann, J. Z. Bernád, M. Sondermann +3
We propose a scheme for the remote preparation of entangled matter qubits in free space. For this purpose, a setup of two opposing parabolic mirrors is considered, each one with a…
