Spontaneous emission is one of the most fundamental out-of-equilibrium processes in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. In this process, a photon is emitted that can interact with other…
Using simple space-time implementation of the random cascade model we investigate numerically influence of the possible fractal structure of the emitting source on Bose-Einstein correlations between identical particles. The results are then…
In this article we investigate the energy spectrum statistics of fractals at the quantum level. We show that the energy-level distribution of a fractal follows a power-law behaviour, if its energy spectrum is a limit set of piece-wise…
The altered spontaneous emission of an emitter near an arbitrary body can be elucidated using an energy balance of the electromagnetic field. From a classical point of view it is trivial to show that the field scattered back from any body…
The exponential decay law is well established since its first derivation in 1928, however it is not exact but only an approximate description. In recent years some experimental and theoretical indications for non-exponential decay have been…
Two-dimensional random Lorentz gases with absorbing traps are considered in which a moving point particle undergoes elastic collisions on hard disks and annihilates when reaching a trap. In systems of finite spatial extension, the…
We investigate the Wigner-Weisskopf decay of a two level atom in front of an oscillating mirror. This work builds on and extends previous theoretical and experimental studies of the effects of a static mirror on spontaneous decay and…
Fractal structures naturally emerge in quantum systems whose initial states exhibit spatial discontinuities, a phenomenon first identified by Berry in the paradigmatic case of a particle confined in an infinite potential well. While…
We compare the properties of transmission across one-dimensional finite samples which are associated with two types of "quantum diffusion", one related to a classical chaotic dynamics, the other to a multifractal energy spectrum. We…
We numerically analyse quantum survival probability fluctuations in an open, classically chaotic system. In a quasi-classical regime, and in the presence of classical mixed phase space, such fluctuations are believed to exhibit a fractal…
Quasi-stationary states of the quantum system in the driving resonant field are considered without rotating wave approximation. Conditions under which the spontaneous emission could be suppressed in this system are investigated in the…
We study from a critical perspective several quantum-electrodynamic phenomena commonly related to vacuum electromagnetic (EM) fluctuations in complex media. We compute the resonance-shift, the spontaneous emission rate, the local density of…
This paper studies the concept of power dissipation in infinite graphs and fractals associated with passive linear networks consisting of non-dissipative elements. In particular, we analyze the so-called Feynman-Sierpinski ladder, a fractal…
Here, we demonstrate that quantum and classical descriptions generally yield different results for the spontaneous emission in nanophotonic cavities. Starting from the quantized single-mode field in a general context of dispersive and lossy…
We investigate spontaneous photon emission processes of two-level atoms in parabolic and ellipsoidal cavities thereby taking into account the full multimode scenario. In particular, we calculate the excitation probabilities of the atoms and…
The spontaneous decay of an excited state of an emitter placed in the vicinity of a metallic single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) was examined theoretically. The emitter-SWNT coupling strongly depends on the position of the emitter relative…
We extend the quantum theory of dissipation in the context of system-reservoir model, where the reservoir in question is kept in a nonequilibrium condition. Based on a systematic separation of time scales involved in the dynamics,…
We develop a theoretical formalism to model the linear spectrum of a quantum dot embedded in a high quality cavity, in presence of an arbitrary mechanism modifying the homogeneous spectrum of the quantum dot. Within the simple assumption of…
In this paper we give a physically transparent picture of singular-continuous spectrum in disordered systems which possess a non-ergodic extended phase. We present a simple model of identically and independently distributed level spacing in…
