Sympathetic laser-cooling of graphene with Casimir-Polder forces
Sofia Ribeiro, Hugo Terças
We propose a scheme to actively cool the fundamental flexural (out-of-plane) mode of a graphene sheet via vacuum forces. Our setup consists in a cold atom cloud placed close to a g…

Phonon-polaritons in Bose-Einstein condensates induced by Casimir-Polder interaction with graphene
H. Terças, S. Ribeiro, J. T. Mendonça
We consider the mechanical coupling between a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with a graphene sheet via the vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field which are at t…

Casimir-Polder interaction from exact diagonalization and state mixing near surfaces
Sofia Ribeiro, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Thomas Stielow +1
Dispersion forces have a sizeable effect on the energy levels of highly excited Rydberg atoms when brought close to material surfaces. Rydberg atoms experience energy shifts in the…
