Spin-Mechanical Scheme with Color Centers in Hexagonal Boron Nitride Membranes.

Journal article Physical review letters · December 2017 Featured Publication Recently observed quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) membranes have a potential for achieving high accessibility and controllability thanks to the lower spatial dimension. Moreover, these objects naturally have a high sensitivity to vibratio ... Full text Cite

Probing the Dynamics of a Superradiant Quantum Phase Transition with a Single Trapped Ion.

Journal article Physical review letters · February 2017 Featured Publication We demonstrate that the quantum phase transition (QPT) of the Rabi model and critical dynamics near the QPT can be probed in the setup of a single trapped ion. We first demonstrate that there exists equilibrium and nonequilibrium scaling functions of the R ... Full text Cite

Quantum Phase Transition in the Finite Jaynes-Cummings Lattice Systems.

Journal article Physical review letters · September 2016 Featured Publication Phase transitions are commonly held to occur only in the thermodynamical limit of a large number of system components. Here, we exemplify at the hand of the exactly solvable Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model and its generalization to finite JC lattices that finit ... Full text Cite

Recurrent Delocalization and Quasiequilibration of Photons in Coupled Systems in Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics.

Journal article Physical review letters · April 2016 Featured Publication We explore the photon population dynamics in two coupled circuit QED systems. For a sufficiently weak intercavity photon hopping, as the photon-cavity coupling increases, the dynamics undergoes double transitions first from a delocalized to a localized pha ... Full text Cite

Quantum Phase Transition and Universal Dynamics in the Rabi Model.

Journal article Physical review letters · October 2015 Featured Publication We consider the Rabi Hamiltonian, which exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) despite consisting only of a single-mode cavity field and a two-level atom. We prove QPT by deriving an exact solution in the limit where the atomic transition frequency in t ... Full text Open Access Cite
