Under the weak probe field approximation, we show that the cross-phase modulation-induced phase difference between two components of the probe field is approximately proportional to the microwave field intensity. By choosing a specified probe field frequency, the group velocities for the left- and right-polarized components of the probe field match perfectly so that the phase difference can be detected at the end of the medium, enabling the undistorted detection of the microwave field. Considering the square-pulsed microwave field with a 50% duty cycle, we also demonstrate microwave communication by detecting the cross-phase modulation-induced phase difference.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated an array of silicon waveguides with sinusoidally modulated cladding of varying depth of modulation. The investigation reveals a critical depth of modulation that splits the geometries into weakly scattering and strongly scattering regimes. Geometries in the weakly scattering regime resemble Bragg waveguides with shallow cladding modulation, whereas in the strongly scattering regime, the geometries resemble chains of isolated dielectric particles. The guided mode photonic band gap for geometries in the strongly scattering regime is much larger than that of the weakly scattering regime. By inscribing stretched moiré patterns in the strongly scattering regime, we show that a large number of sharp peaks can be created in the transmission spectra of the waveguide. All periodic stretched moiré patterns can be identified with an <i>R</i> parameter. The <i>R</i> parameter indicates the ratio of the supercell period of the stretched system to the unstretched system. Our empirical study shows that the density of peaks linearly increases with <i>R</i>. The multiple resonance peaks evolve along well-defined trajectories with the quality factor defined by exponential functions of <i>R</i>.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The site-occupation states of the dipolar ladder lattice gas can spontaneously emulate both the monopole and spin excitations. The hopping of the atoms induces a particle conversion process between spin and monopole pairs, and the dipole-dipole interaction determines the spin-spin, spin-monopole, and monopole-monopole interactions. The anisotropic nature of the dipole-dipole interaction allows hereby for a flexible engineering of the designed hybrid system, and for a significant tunability of the interaction strengths. As a result, we encounter a rich phase diagram, and specifically a self-assembled Coulomb phase arises, in which monopoles and spins coexist and are orderly arranged according to the local Gauss's law. The Coulomb phase hosts a zoo of different types of quasiparticles and provides the possibility to simulate various phenomena in particle physics, such as a degenerate vacuum, particle decay, and conversion processes. Our work provides a significant extension of the scope of quantum simulations based on the anisotropy of dipolar interactions.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reduced density matrix elements are evaluated using a microscopic quantum master equation formalism. Multiple ergotropies within the same coherence interval, each characterized by a positive and pronounced coherent contribution, are observed. These ergotropies are a result of population inversion as well as quasiprobability-population inversion, controllable through the coherence measure parameters. The optimal flux and power of the engine are found to be at moderate values of ergotropy with increasing values of noise-induced coherence.

Specifically, we calculate the effective 2D scattering length and 2D effective range parameter of the low-energy scattering, as well as the energy and the transverse-excited-mode probability of the bound states. Comparing these results with those obtained under a harmonic transverse confinement potential, which has the same characteristic length as the box potential, we find that in most of the cases the 2D effective range parameter for the box confinement is approximately 0.28 of the one for the harmonic confinement. Moreover, the transverse-excited-mode probability of the bound states for the box confinement is also much lower than the one for the harmonic confinement. These results suggest that the transverse excitation in the box confinement is notably weaker than the one in the harmonic confinement with the same characteristic length. Therefore, achieving quasi-2D ultracold gases well described by pure-2D effective models, particularly those with 2D contact interaction, is more feasible through box confinement. Our results are helpful for the quantum simulation of 2D many-body physics with ultracold atoms, e.g., the suppression of 2D effective range parameter may lead to an enhancement of quantum anomaly in two-dimensional Fermi gases. Additionally, our calculation method is applicable to the two-body problems of ultracold atoms in other types of quasi-2D confinements.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field and orientation dependence of two major ionization observables, the ionization rate and the transverse momentum distribution of liberated electrons, is analyzed. The calculations reveal a number of strong-field effects not accounted for by the weak-field asymptotic theory. In particular, it is shown that vortex electrons are efficiently generated in tunneling ionization of large molecules at sufficiently strong fields, which opens a perspective for enantiosensitive rescattering photoelectron spectroscopy.
