We propose a quantum simulation of small-polaron physics using a one-dimensional system of trapped ions acted upon by off-resonant standing waves. This system, envisioned as an array of microtraps, in the single-excitation case allows the…
Polarons - electrons coupled with lattice vibrations - play a key role in the transport and optical properties of many systems of reduced dimension and dimensionality. Their confinement affects drastically the phonon, polaron, bipolaron and…

Excitons consist of electrons and holes held together by their attractive Coulomb interaction. Although excitons are neutral excitations, spatial fluctuations in their charge density couple with the ions of the crystal lattice. This…

We investigate Jahn-Teller (JT) polaritons, which emerge from the interaction of the two normal-incidence electromagnetic modes with perpendicular polarizations in a Fabry-Perot cavity resonator with JT active systems. These JT polaritons…
We discuss an experiment in which two magnetic insulators that both show a field-induced magnetic-ordering transition are weakly coupled to one another and are placed into an ex- ternal magnetic field. If the respective magnetic states can…
The effect of confinement on surface plasmon polariton in a planar nanocavity was studied. The generalized modes were obtained and studied in detail. It was demonstrated that these modes result from the strong coupling of plasmon-like and…
It is well-known that the liquid properties in a strongly confined system can be very different from their ordinary behaviors in an extended system, due to the competition between the thermal energy and the interaction energy. Here we show…

From electronic structure calculations, we find that carriers injected into dangling-bond atomic wires on the Si(001) surface will self-trap to form localised polaron states. The self-trapping distortion takes the form of a local…
Exchange processes are responsible for the stability of elementary boson condensates with respect to their possible fragmentation. This remains true for composite bosons when single fermion exchanges are included but spin degrees of freedom…
