Probing electric and magnetic vacuum fluctuations with quantum dots.
The electromagnetic-vacuum-field fluctuations are intimately linked to the process of spontaneous emission of light. Atomic emitters cannot probe electric- and magnetic-field fluctuations simultaneously because electric and magnetic transitions correspond to different selection rules. In this Letter we show that semiconductor quantum dots are fundamentally different and are capable of mediating...
متن کاملProbing BEC phase fluctuations with atomic quantum dots
We consider the dephasing of two internal states |0〉 and |1〉 of a trapped impurity atom, a so-called atomic quantum dot (AQD), where only state |1〉 couples to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). A direct relation between the dephasing of the internal states of the AQD and the temporal phase fluctuations of the BEC is established. Based on this relation we suggest a scheme to probe BEC phase fluct...
متن کاملProbing Models of Quantum Space–Time Foam
We review the possibility that quantum fluctuations in the structure of space-time at the Planck scale might be subject to experimental probes. We study the effects of space-time foam in an approach inspired by string theory, in which solitonic D-brane excitations are taken into account when considering the ground state. We model the properties of this medium by analyzing the recoil of a D part...
متن کاملQuantum control by compensation of quantum fluctuations.
We show that the influence of quantum fluctuations in the electromagnetic field vacuum on a two level atom can be measured and consequently compensated by balanced homodyne detection and a coherent feedback field. This compensation suppresses the decoherence associated with spontaneous emissions for a specific state of the atomic system allowing complete control of the coherent state of the sys...
متن کاملDecoherence and quantum fluctuations
The importance of decoherence in the quantum to classical transition is well known. There are many examples where a quantum system undergoes environmentally induced decoherence, such as the electron wave function in a lowdimensional solid, an atom trapped in a quantum optical system, and an isolated quantum system coupled to a measuring apparatus. It has also been suggested that the decoherence...
