The space-time metric is widely believed to be subject to stochastic fluctuations induced by quantum gravity at the Planck scale. This work is based on two different phenomenological approaches being currently made to this topic, and…
A deformed boson algebra is naturally introduced from studying quantum mechanics on noncommutative phase space in which both positions and momenta are noncommuting each other. Based on this algebra, corresponding intrinsic noncommutative…
A phenomenological model of the time evolution of a particle wavepacket is presented that is subject to scattering event with small momentum transfer. It is suited for three dimensions and allows for an additional potential. For a random…
We consider the Heisenberg-Euler action for an electromagnetic field in vacuum, which includes quantum corrections to the Maxwell equations induced by photon-photon scattering. We show that, in some configurations, the plane monochromatic…
Lorentz symmetry is the fundamental symmetry of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity and has been tested to great precision. Nevertheless, the possibility remains that it is violated at the Planck scale, as predicted by some theories of…
There is growing interest in quantum-spacetime models in which small departures from Lorentz symmetry are governed by the Planck scale. In particular, several studies have considered the possibility that these small violations of Lorentz…
Strong frequency dependence is unlikely in diffusive or over-damped systems. When exceptions do occur, such as in the case of stochastic resonance, it signals an interesting underlying phenomenon. We find that such a case appears in the…
Mechanical spectroscopy, i.e. cyclic deformations at varying frequencies, is used theoretically and numerically to measure dissipation in model glasses. From a normal mode analysis, we show that in the high-frequency THz regime where…
For decades, most research on high harmonic generation (HHG) considered matter as quantum but light as classical, leaving the quantum-optical nature of the harmonics an open question. Here we explore the quantum properties of high…
Theories with Planck-scale deformed symmetries exhibit quantum time evolution in which purity of the density matrix is not preserved. In particular we show that the non-trivial structure of momentum space of these models is reflected in a…
A Heisenberg uncertainty relation is derived for spatially-gated electric and magnetic field fluctuations. The uncertainty increases for small gating sizes which implies that in confined spaces the quantum nature of the electromagnetic…
Two-photon states generated through degenerate spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) can exhibit sharp correlations in the transverse spatial coordinates. This property leads to unique free-space propagation features. Here, we show…
The orthogonality of cat and displaced cat states, underlying Heisenberg limited measurement in quantum metrology, is studied in the limit of large number of states. The asymptotic expression for the corresponding state overlap function,…

The non-classical property of subpoissonian photon statistics is extended from one to two-mode electromagnetic fields, incorporating the physically motivated property of invariance under passive unitary transformations. Applications to…
