• Abstract summary: We investigate the confining properties of charged particles of a Dirac material in the plane subject to an electrostatic potential well. To have a global picture of confinement, both bound and resonance states are considered. We show that although the intensity of the resonances for massive particles is not significantly influenced by angular momenta, on the contrary, for massless particles they are quite sensitive to angular momenta.

• Abstract: In this work we investigate the confining properties of charged particles of a Dirac material in the plane subject to an electrostatic potential well, that is, in an electric quantum dot. Our study focuses on the effect of mass and angular momenta on such confining properties. To have a global picture of confinement, both bound and resonance states are considered. The resonances will be examined by means of the Wigner time delay of the scattering states, as well as through the complex eigenvalues of outgoing states in order to show that they are physically meaningful. By tuning the potential intensity of the well, electron captures and atomic collapses are observed for critical values. In these processes, the bound states of the discrete spectrum become resonances of the continuous spectrum or vice versa. For massive charges, the atomic collapse phenomenon keeps the number of bound levels in the quantum dot below a maximum value. In the massless case, the bound states have zero energy and occur only for some discrete values of the potential depth, as is known. We also show that although the intensity of the resonances for massive particles is not significantly influenced by angular momenta, on the contrary, for massless particles they are quite sensitive to angular momenta, as it is the case of graphene.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

• Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
  The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
