The past few decades have seen dramatic progress in our ability to manipulate and coherently control matter-waves. Although the duality between particles and waves has been well tested since de Broglie introduced the matter-wave analog of…
Efficient atom-photon interfaces require the controlled assembly of quantum emitters, where collective effects such as superradiance and subradiance can emerge. Recent experiments with subwavelength arrays of quantum dots have observed…
It has been argued that the speed of sound of the strong interaction at high temperature can be measured using the variation of the mean transverse momentum with the particle multiplicity in ultracentral heavy-ion collisions. We test this…
We derive fundamental bounds for general quantum metrological models involving both temporal or spatial correlations (mathematically described by quantum combs), which may be effectively computed in the limit of a large number of probes or…
We report on a microscopic theory of quantum friction. Our approach investigates the interplay between the dispersive response and the relative center-of-mass motion of two ground-state atoms. This coupling yields a quantum force, which can…

Quantum measurements of physical quantities are usually described as ideal measurements. However, only a few measurements fulfil the conditions of ideal measurements. The aim of the present work is to describe real position measurements…

We show that observing the trajectories of confined particles in a thermal equilibrium state yields an estimate on the free-space diffusion coefficient. For generic trapping potentials and interactions between particles, the estimate comes…
The goal of quantum metrology is the exploitation of quantum resources, like entanglement or quantum coherence, in the fundamental task of parameter estimation. Here we consider the question of the estimation of the Unruh temperature in the…
We have calculated quantum reactive and elastic cross-sections for D$^{+}+$ para-H$_2$($v$=0, $j$=0) $\rightarrow$ H$^+$ + HD collisons using the hyperspherical quantum reactive scattering method [Chem. Phys. Lett. 1990,169, 473]. The…
We theoretically investigate the effect of ``glancing" collisions on the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) pressure readings of the cold atom vacuum standard (CAVS), based on either ultracold $^7$Li or $^{87}$Rb atoms. Here, glancing collisions are…
Experiments are starting to probe collisions and chemical reactions between atoms and molecules at ultra-low temperatures. We have developed a new theoretical procedure for studying these collisions using the R-matrix method. Here this…
Historically, the completeness of quantum theory has been questioned using the concept of bipartite continuous variable entanglement. The non-classical correlations (entanglement) between the two subsystems imply that the observables of one…
Recent measurements of Efimov resonances in a number of ultracold atom species have revealed an unexpected universality, in which three-body scattering properties are determined by the van der Waals length of the two-body interaction…
Motivated by the recent article of P. Shea {\it et al.} [Am. J. Phys. {\bf 77} (6), 2009] we examine the exactly solvable problem of two harmonically trapped ultra-cold bosonic atoms interacting {\it via} a short range potential in one and…
We propose to use the phenomenon of resonant tunneling for the detection of noise. The main idea of this method relies on the effect of homogeneous broadening of the resonant tunneling peak induced by the emission and absorption of…
The next generation of "intensity frontier" facilities will bring a significant increase in the intensity of sub-relativistic beams of $\mu^-$. We show that the use of these beams in combination with thin targets of $Z\sim 30$ elements…
The probability distribution of the total momentum P is studied in N-particle interacting homogeneous quantum systems at positive temperatures. Using Galilean invariance we prove that in one dimension the asymptotic distribution of…
