• Abstract: The photonic Spin Hall Effect (SHE) causes a polarization-dependent transverse shift of light at an interface. There is a significant research interest in controlling and enhancing the photonic SHE. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the microwave field control of the photonic SHE in a closed-loop $Λ$-type atomic system. We demonstrate that both the magnitude and angular position of the photonic SHE can be controlled by varying the relative phase $φ$ between the driving optical fields and the strength of the microwave coupling $Ω_μ$. At zero probe field detuning ($Δ_p = 0$) and $φ=0,π$, the photonic SHE magnitude reaches to upper limit equal to the half of the incident beam waist, and remains largely unaffected by the microwave strength $Ω_μ$, but its angular position shifts linearly with increasing $Ω_μ$. At intermediate phases, especially at $φ= π/2$, the magnitude of the photonic SHE exponentially decreases with the increase of $Ω_μ$. Interestingly, we observed microwave-controlled switching of photonic SHE by tuning the relative phase $φ$ at an optimized value of $Ω_μ$ and $Ω_{c}$. In contrast, at $Δ_p = \pm Ω_c$, a maximum photonic SHE equal to half of the incident beam waist occurs at $φ\leq π$ and $Ω_μ \geq Ω_p$, where both real and imaginary parts of the susceptibility vanish, yielding a unit refractive index. Our results may have potential applications in microwave quantum sensing and quantum optical switches based on the photonic SHE.

  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.

This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

  An electromagnetic mode with frequency $omega$ in the microwave band has a significant thermal photon occupation at room temperature. This variance sets the measurement noise floor in applications ranging from wireless communications to positioning, navigation, and timing to magnetic resonance imaging. We overcome this barrier in continuously cooling a $sim 3$ GHz cavity mode by coupling it to an ensemble of optically spin-polarized nitrogen-vacancy centers in a room-temperature diamond.
