Detecting milli-Hz gravitational waves with optical resonators
G. Barontini, X. Calmet, V. Guarrera +2
We propose a gravitational wave detector based on ultrastable optical cavities enabling the detection of gravitational wave signals in the mostly unexplored Hz frequenc…
Observation of Fermi acceleration with cold atoms
G. Barontini, V. Naniyil, J. P. Stinton +6
Cosmic rays are deemed to be generated by a process known as ``Fermi acceleration", in which charged particles scatter against magnetic fluctuations in astrophysical plasmas. The p…
Topological Chiral Edge States in a Synthetic Dimension of Atomic Trap States
David G. Reid, Christopher Oliver, Patrick Regan +6
A key hallmark of quantum Hall physics is the existence of topological chiral states at the system boundary. Signatures of these edge states have been experimentally observed in co…
Quantum Zeno Engines and Heat Pumps
Giovanni Barontini
We study the implementation of quantum engines and quantum heat pumps where the quantum adiabatic transformations are replaced by quantum Zeno strokes. During these strokes, freque…
