Bilateral photon emission from a vibrating mirror and entanglement generation

Alberto Mercurio

Entanglement plays a crucial role in the development of quantum-enabled devices. One significant objective is the deterministic creation and distribution of entangled states, achieved, for example, through a mechanical oscillator interacting with confined ...

Phonon pumping by modulating the ultrastrong vacuum

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, Marco Scigliuzzo, Alberto Mercurio

The vacuum (i.e., the ground state) of a system in ultrastrong light-matter coupling contains particles that cannot be emitted without any dynamical perturbation and is thus called virtual. We propose a protocol for inducing and observing real mechanical e ...

Circuit Qed Spectra in the Ultrastrong Coupling Regime: How They Differ From Cavity Qed

Alberto Mercurio

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) investigates the interaction between resonator-confined radiation and natural atoms. Similar phenomena can be explored using superconducting artificial atoms coupled to microwave resonators. Here, we examine incoherent ...

Tutorial on nonperturbative cavity quantum electrodynamics: is the Jaynes–Cummings model still relevant?

Alberto Mercurio

In this tutorial review, we briefly discuss the role that the Jaynes–Cummings model occupies in present-day research in cavity quantum electrodynamics with a particular focus on the so-called ultrastrong-coupling regime. We start by critically analyzing th ...
