Phonon-induced polariton superlattices

2006

We show that the coherent interaction between microcavity polaritons and externally stimulated acoustic phonons forms a tunable polariton superlattice with a folded energy dispersion determined by the phonon population and wavelength. Under high phonon concentration, the strong confinement of the optical and excitonic polariton components in the phonon potential creates weakly coupled polariton wires with a virtually flat energy dispersion.

Quantum noise properties of cavity solitons

2006

General method for studying quantum fluctuations of dissipative structures formed in nonlinear optical cavities is presented. Application to cavity soliton supported by degenerate optical parametric oscillator is presented. Squeezing and intensity fluctuations spectra are discussed.

Atomic teleportation via cavity QED and position measurements: efficiency analysis

2008

We have recently presented a novel protocol to teleport an unknown atomic state via cavity QED and position measurements. Here, after a brief review of our scheme, we provide a quantitative study of its efficiency. This is accomplished by an explicit description of the measurement process that allows us to derive the fidelity with respect to the atomic internal state to be teleported.

Far-infrared laser on quantum dots created by electric-field focusing

2003

The new proposal of a far-infrared laser employing intraband transitions in the system of quantum dots is briefly described. The conditions for inversion of population for electrons in the quantum dot matrix created by an electric-field focusing in narrow GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well are discussed. The laser is planned to be pumped by periodically repeated rapid creation and destruction of the quantum dot matrix allowing for repeated filling of the dot levels with electrons from a quantum well. Some major results of the analysis of the kinetics of the electron-photon system are presented.

When Casimir meets Kibble–Zurek

2012

Verification of the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) in optical systems is still elusive due to the very demanding requirements for its experimental implementation. This typically requires very fast changes in the boundary conditions of the problem. We show that an ensemble of two-level atoms collectively coupled to the electromagnetic field of a cavity, driven at low frequencies and close to a quantum phase transition, stimulates the production of photons from the vacuum. This paves the way for an effective simulation of the DCE through a mechanism that has recently found experimental demonstration. The spectral properties of the emitted radiation reflect the critical nature of the system an…

Photon Production from the Vacuum Close to the Superradiant Transition: Linking the Dynamical Casimir Effect to the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism

2012

The dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) predicts the generation of photons from the vacuum due to the parametric amplification of the quantum fluctuations of an electromagnetic field. The verification of such an effect is still elusive in optical systems due to the very demanding requirements of its experimental implementation. We show that an ensemble of two-level atoms collectively coupled to the electromagnetic field of a cavity, driven at low frequencies and close to a quantum phase transition, stimulates the production of photons from the vacuum. This paves the way to an effective simulation of the DCE through a mechanism that has recently found experimental demonstration. The spectral prop…

Quantum control and long-range quantum correlations in dynamical Casimir arrays

2015

The recent observation of the dynamical Casimir effect in a modulated superconducting waveguide, coronating thirty years of world-wide research, empowered the quantum technology community with a powerful tool to create entangled photons on-chip. In this work we show how, going beyond the single waveguide paradigm using a scalable array, it is possible to create multipartite nonclassical states, with the possibility to control the long-range quantum correlations of the emitted photons. In particular, our finite-temperature theory shows how maximally entangled $NOON$ states can be engineered in a realistic setup. The results here presented open the way to new kinds of quantum fluids of light,…

Therapiemonitoring mittels 2-[18F]-FDG-Positronenemissionstomographie nach neoadjuvanter Strahlenbehandlung des Mundhöhlenkarzinoms

2001

Die Kombination strahlentherapeutischer und chirurgischer Behandlungsschritte beim Mundhohlenkarzinom erfordert eine fruhe, objektive Bewertung des Bestrahlungserfolgs. Schlechtes radiotherapeutisches Ansprechverhalten verlangt die moglichst umgehende chirurgische Sanierung auch bei hohem Operations- und Narkoserisiko. Eine deutliche Remission unter Strahlentherapie kann dagegen die Fortsetzung der Bestrahlungsbehandlung begrunden. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht daher die Bewertung des Bestrahlungserfolgs anhand der durch Positronenemissionstomographie (PET) bestimmten Glukosestoffwechselaktivitat.

"Osteolipoma of buccal mucosa: Case report and literature review"

2016

Osteolipoma affecting oral cavity is indeed rare. We hereby report a case of osteolipoma affecting buccal mucosa. A review of literature of osteolipoma of oral cavity, particularly on radiographic/imaging findings was done. Only 16 cases of Osteolipoma of oral cavity are reported in the literature. The radiographic findings of our case, i.e. multiple dense homogenous radio-opaque structures was reported earlier only in one case [out of 16] of osteolipoma of oral cavity. Key words:Lipoma, osteolipoma, panoramic radiography, radio-opaque, radiography.
