Self-dressing in classical and quantum electrodynamics
2003
A short review is presented of the theory of dressed states in nonrelativistic QED, encompassing fully and partially dressed states in atomic physics. This leads to the concept of the reconstruction of the cloud of virtual photons and of self-dressing. Finally some recent results on the classical counterpart of self-dressing are discussed and a comparison is made with the QED case. Attention is drawn to open problems and future lines of research are briefly outlined.
Collective behavior ofMbosonic modes interacting with a single two-level atom
1988
The Hamiltonian describing, without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA), the linear interaction between M bosonic modes with an Einstein spectrum and a single two-level atom is exactly and canonically transformed introducing M suitable collective independent field modes, in such a way that only one among them is coupled to the atom. Some physical consequences of this fact are analyzed and, in particular, the existence of radiation-trapping phenomena together with the possibility of atomic absorption suppression is established. The applicability of the RWA to this system is discussed and the importance of the effective-field statistics for the time evolution of the system is pointed out.
A concise review on pseudo-bosons, pseudo-fermions and their relatives
2017
We review some basic definitions and few facts recently established for $\D$-pseudo bosons and for pseudo-fermions. We also discuss an extended version of these latter, based on biorthogonal bases, which lives in a finite dimensional Hilbert space. Some examples are described in details.
Generation of Non-Classical States through QND-like Processes
2007
In the spirit of quantum nondemolition measurement we show that repeatedly measuring the atomic state of a trapped ion subjected to suitable vibronic couplings it is possible to extract interesting nonclassical states. The possibility of generating angular momentum Schrödinger cat is demonstrated.
Three-mode two-boson Jaynes–Cummings model in trapped ions
2006
In this paper, we analyse a two-boson three-mode Jaynes–Cummings model which can be implemented in the context of trapped ions. The symmetries of the Hamiltonian are brought to light and analysed in detail in order to solve the eigenvalue problem. The calculation of the time evolution operator shows the possibility of realizing interesting applications, such as the generation of nonclassical states.
(Regular) pseudo-bosons versus bosons
2012
We discuss in which sense the so-called {\em regular pseudo-bosons}, recently introduced by Trifonov and analyzed in some details by the author, are related to ordinary bosons. We repeat the same analysis also for {\em pseudo-bosons}, and we analyze the role played by certain intertwining operators, which may be bounded or not.
Supersolid Behavior of Light
2008
We will show how light can form stationary structures on dielectric periodic media such that their dynamics present simultaneous features of spatial long range order and superfluidity. This phenomenon is normally referred to as supersolidity.
Dynamics of thermally induced optical nonlinearity in GaSe thin slabs
1996
A study of the nonlinear effects shown by thin slabs of GaSe metaled with Au is presented.
Mode coupling approach to the ideal glass transition of molecular liquids: Linear molecules
1997
The mode coupling theory (MCT) for the ideal liquid glass transition, which was worked out for simple liquids mainly by Gotze, Sjogren, and their co-workers, is extended to a molecular liquid of linear and rigid molecules. By use of the projection formalism of Zwanzig and Mori an equation of motion is derived for the correlators S[sub lm,l[sup (prime)]m[sup (prime)]]([bold q],t) of the tensorial one-particle density rho [sub lm]([bold q],t), which contains the orientational degrees of freedom for l(greater-than)0. Application of the mode coupling approximation to the memory kernel results into a closed set of equations for S[sub lm,l[sup (prime)]m[sup (prime)]]([bold q],t), which requires t…
Brownian dynamics of polydisperse colloidal hard spheres: Equilibrium structures and random close packings
1994
Recently we presented a new technique for numerical simulations of colloidal hard-sphere systems and showed its high efficiency. Here, we extend our calculations to the treatment of both 2- and 3-dimensional monodisperse and 3-dimensional polydisperse systems (with sampled finite Gaussian size distribution of particle radii), focusing on equilibrium pair distribution functions and structure factors as well as volume fractions of random close packing (RCP). The latter were determined using in principle the same technique as Woodcock or Stillinger had used. Results for the monodisperse 3-dimensional system show very good agreement compared to both pair distribution and structure factor predic…
