Decoherence-free interaction between giant atoms in waveguide quantum electrodynamics

AF Kockum, G Johansson, F Nori - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
In quantum-optics experiments with both natural and artificial atoms, the atoms are usually
small enough that they can be approximated as pointlike compared to the wavelength of the …

Large collective lamb shift of two distant superconducting artificial atoms

PY Wen, KT Lin, AF Kockum, B Suri, H Ian, JC Chen… - Physical review …, 2019 - APS
Virtual photons can mediate interaction between atoms, resulting in an energy shift known
as a collective Lamb shift. Observing the collective Lamb shift is challenging, since it can be …

Highly nonlocal optical nonlinearities in atoms trapped near a waveguide

E Shahmoon, P Grišins, HP Stimming, I Mazets… - Optica, 2016 - opg.optica.org
Nonlinear optical phenomena are typically local. Here, we predict the possibility of highly
nonlocal optical nonlinearities for light propagating in atomic media trapped near a nano …

Van der Waals chain: A simple model for Casimir forces in dielectrics

H Hörner, LM Rachbauer, S Rotter, U Leonhardt - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The Casimir force between dielectric bodies is well-understood, but not the Casimir force
inside a dielectric, in particular its renormalization. We develop and analyze a simple model …

Dispersion interaction between two hydrogen atoms in a static electric field

G Fiscelli, L Rizzuto, R Passante - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We consider the dispersion interaction between two ground-state hydrogen atoms,
interacting with the quantum electromagnetic field in the vacuum state, in the presence of an …

van der Waals interactions between excited atoms in generic environments
