Photoinduced Second-Order Nonlinearities in Centrosymmetric Media

The interaction of light and matter enables nonlinear frequency conversion and the creation of coherent currents. The optical control of electric currents is of fundamental relevance and prominent research focus in the last decades. These photocurrents ena ...

The Allen-Cahn equation with generic initial datum

Martin Hairer

We consider the Allen-Cahn equation ?(t)u - ?u = u - u(3) with a rapidly mixing Gaussian field as initial condition. We show that provided that the amplitude of the initial condition is not too large, the equation generates fronts described by nodal sets o ...

A squeezed mechanical oscillator with millisecond quantum decoherence

Tobias Kippenberg, Amir Youssefi, Mahdi Chegnizadeh, Shingo Kono

An enduring challenge in constructing mechanical-oscillator-based hybrid quantum systems is to ensure engineered coupling to an auxiliary degree of freedom and maintain good mechanical isolation from the environment, that is, low quantum decoherence, consi ...

Imaging and controlling coherent phonon wave packets in single graphene nanoribbons

Klaus Kern, Yang Luo

The motion of atoms is at the heart of any chemical or structural transformation in molecules and materials. Upon activation of this motion by an external source, several (usually many) vibrational modes can be coherently coupled, thus facilitating the che ...

Alignment & stability challenges for FCC-ee

Léon Van Riesen-Haupt, Frank Zimmermann

In order to achieve its ultra-low vertical emittance (1 pm) and high luminosity (of up to 230 x 10(34) cm(-2) s(-1) per collision point), the e(+)e(-) Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) requires a well-informed alignment strategy, powerful correction method ...

Long-distance coherent propagation of magnon polarons in a ferroelectric-ferromagnetic heterostructure

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Peng Chen, Jilei Chen, Jianyu Zhang, Yao Zhang, Song Liu, Jinlong Wang

We experimentally demonstrate the coherent propagation of magnon polarons, the hybridized excitations formed by the coupling of spin waves and Rayleigh/Love surface acoustic waves, in a heterostructure consisting of ferroelectric BaTiO3 and ferromagnetic L ...

Identifying Large Charge operators

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gil Badel

The Large Charge sector of Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can generically be described through a semiclassical expansion around a superfluid background. In this work, focussing on U(1) invariant Wilson-Fisher fixed points, we study the spectrum of spinning l ...

Possible restoration of particle-hole symmetry in the 5/2-quantized Hall state at small magnetic field

Frédéric Mila, Loïc Jean Pierre Herviou

Motivated by the experimental observation of a quantized 5/2 thermal conductance at filling nu = 5/2, a result incompatible with both the Pfaffian and the anti-Pfaffian states, we have pushed the expansion of the effective Hamiltonian of the 5/2-quantized ...

Quantum error correction using squeezed Schrodinger cat states

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, David Schlegel

Bosonic quantum codes redundantly encode quantum information in the states of a quantum harmonic oscillator, making it possible to detect and correct errors. Schrodinger cat codes-based on the superposition of two coherent states with opposite displacement ...

Cavity-mediated electron-photon pairs

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Zheru Qiu, Yujia Yang, Junqiu Liu, Arslan Sajid Raja, Guanhao Huang

Quantum information, communication, and sensing rely on the generation and control of quantum correlations in complementary degrees of freedom. Free electrons coupled to photonics promise novel hybrid quantum technologies, although single-particle correlat ...

Engineering and characterizing nonclassical states of light in quantum optical networks

Kilian Robert Seibold

The exploration of open quantum many-body systems -systems of microscopic size exhibiting quantum coherence and interacting with their surrounding- has emerged as a key research area over the last years. The recent advances in controlling and preserving qu ...

The Pristine survey - XVI. The metallicity of 26 stellar streams around the Milky Way detected with the STREAMFINDER in Gaia EDR3

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

We use the photometric metallicities provided by the panoramic Pristine survey to study the veracity and derive the metallicities of the numerous stellar streams found by the application of the STREAMFINDER algorithm to the Gaia Early Data Release 3 data. ...

Semiclassical methods in conformal field theories scrutinized by the epsilon-expansion

Gil Badel

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are crucial for our understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Because of their powerful symmetry properties, they play the role of signposts in the space of QFTs. Any method that gives us information about their structure ...

Wigner Measures and Coherent Quantum Control

Tudor Ratiu

We introduce Wigner measures for infinite-dimensional open quantum systems; important examples of such systems are encountered in quantum control theory. In addition, we propose an axiomatic definition of coherent quantum feedback. ...

Local Emergence of Peregrine Solitons: Experiments and Theory

Alexey Tikan

It has been shown analytically that Peregrine solitons emerge locally from a universal mechanism in the so-called semiclassical limit of the one-dimensional focusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Experimentally, this limit corresponds to the strongly non ...

Coherent energy exchange between carriers and phonons in Peierls-distorted bismuth unveiled by broadband XUV pulses

Iurii Timrov

In Peierls-distorted materials, photoexcitation leads to a strongly coupled transient response between structural and electronic degrees of freedom, always measured independently of each other. Here we use transient reflectivity in the extreme ultraviolet ...
