• Abstract: Recent interest in the physics of non-perturbative light-matter coupling led to the development of solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics setups in which the interaction energies are comparable with the bare ones. In such a regime the ground state of the coupled system becomes interaction-dependent and is predicted to contain a population of virtual excitations which, notwithstanding having been object of many investigations, remain still unobserved. In this paper we investigate how virtual electronic excitations in quantum wells modify the ground-state charge distribution, and propose two methods to measure such a cavity-induced perturbation. The first approach we consider is based on spectroscopic mapping of the electronic population at a specific location in the quantum well using localised defect states. The second approach exploits instead the photonic equivalent of a Kelvin probe to measure the average change distribution across the quantum well. We find both effects observable with present-day or near-future technology. Our results thus provide a route toward a demonstration of cavity-induced modulation of ground-state electronic properties.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

Our observations are a first step towards finer control of driven-dissipative systems, which have been predicted to generate quantum states.

• Decoherence Effects Break Reciprocity in Matter Transport [0.0]
  We present nanoscale devices in which decoherence, modeled by random quantum jumps, produces fundamentally novel phenomena by interrupting the unitary dynamics of electron wave packets. In these devices, the inelastic interaction of itinerant electrons with impurities acting as electron trapping centers leads to a novel steady state characterized by partial charge separation between the two leads. The interface between the quantum and the classical worlds therefore provides a novel transport regime of value for the realization of a new category of mesoscopic electronic devices.
