• Abstract: Particles traveling in aligned crystals at small angles w.r.t. crystallographic axes or planes are principally steered by the continuous Lindhard potential. This interaction conserves the energy E, the longitudinal momentum p_parallel, the transverse energy of the particle E_perp and is elastic concerning the crystal quantum state. At high enough energy the particle motion is quasi-classical. The time-dependent fluctuations of the positions of the atoms or of the electrons of the crystal create a residual potential, on which the particle can scatter. This interaction does not conserve the previous quantities and is inelastic for the crystal. We compare its treatments with the classical binary collision model and with a phenomenological quantum model. The classical dechanneling rate is estimated to be several ten per cent larger than the quantum one. The influence of correlated vibrations of neighboring atoms is discussed.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
