The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model
2020
We are very grateful to the Fermilab Directorate and the Fermilab Theoretical Physics Department for their financial and logistical support of the first workshop of the Muon g -2 Theory Initiative (held near Fermilab in June 2017) [123], which was crucial for its success, and indeed for the successful start of the Initiative. Financial support for this workshop was also provided by the Fermilab Distinguished Scholars program, the Universities Research Association through a URA Visiting Scholar award, the Riken Brookhaven Research Center, and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science under Grant No. KAKEHNHI-17H02906. We thank Shoji Hashimoto, Toru Iijima, Takashi Kaneko, and Shohei Nis…
Production of photon states from Λ-atoms in a cavity
2019
We analyse the system of Λ-atoms in a cavity QED of semi-transparent mirror and driven by laser fields. We derive effective models and connect concepts (photonic flux, input-output operators, photonic state) characterizing the propagation of the resulting leaking photons. We propose an atom-cavity non-resonant scheme for single-and 2-photons generation. The pulse shapes of outgoing single photons are tailored using a specifically designed driving field envelope. For the production of 2-photon states, two trapped atoms are used with two driving pulses. Their pulse shapes are characterized and it is shown that the multiphoton outgoing photonic states cannot be Fock states, since the photons a…
Atomic emission and photon localization in 1D microcavity array
Controlling Atom-Photon Bound States in an Array of Josephson-Junction Resonators
2022
Engineering the electromagnetic environment of a quantum emitter gives rise to a plethora of exotic light -matter interactions. In particular, photonic lattices can seed long-lived atom-photon bound states inside photonic band gaps. Here, we report on the concept and implementation of a novel microwave architecture consisting of an array of compact superconducting resonators in which we have embedded two frequency -tunable artificial atoms. We study the atom-field interaction and access previously unexplored coupling regimes, in both the single-and double-excitation subspace. In addition, we demonstrate coherent interactions between two atom-photon bound states, in both resonant and dispers…
Non-Hermiticity in Quantum Physics
2022
The field of non-Hermitian Physics has attracted great attention over the last 23years, both from the in the physical and mathematical communities. From the physical point of view, non-Hermiticity was regarded as a phenomenological tool to describe open quantum systems. Besides this, the rising interest in this field comes especially from the possible exploitation of exceptional points for quantum technologies, and from the exotic topology arising in periodic non-Hermitian systems, connected to the so called non-Hermitian skin effect. From the mathematical point of view, the range of possible topics to investigate has been wide open, as dropping an hypothesis of a theory makes the mathemati…
