The Zero-Frequency Limit of Spherical Cavity Modes: On the Formal Endpoint at v=1

Mustafa Bakr, Smain Amari

The transverse magnetic (TM) modes of a spherical cavity satisfy a dispersion relation connecting the angular eigenvalue to the resonant frequency through zeros of the spheric…

Electromagnetic Modes in Spherical Cavities: Complete Theory of Angular Spectra, Dispersion Relations, and Self-Adjoint Extensions

Mustafa Bakr, Tongyu Zhang, Smain Amari

We present a complete theory of electromagnetic modes in spherical cavities, resolving fundamental questions about the nature of angular quantization. The standard result that angu…

Intrinsic Multi-Mode Interference for Passive Suppression of Purcell Decay in Superconducting Circuits

Mustafa Bakr, Mohammed Alghadeer, Simon Pettersson Fors +6

Decoherence due to radiative decay remains an important consideration in scaling superconducting quantum processors. We introduce a passive, interference-based methodology for supp…
