A first-principles coupled electron-nuclear dynamics simulation based on real-time, time-dependent density functional theory and Ehrenfest dynamics quantitatively repro-duces bimodal translational energy loss and angular distributions…
The scattering matrix approach to phase-coherent transport is generalized to nonlinear ac-transport. In photon-assisted electron transport it is often only the dc-component of the current that is of experimental interest. But ac-currents at…
Metasurfaces have the ability to control classical and non-classical states of light to achieve controlled emission even at the level of single emitter. Here, we unveil the Kerker condition induced emission rate enhancement with strong…
Neutron scattering is a powerful tool to study magnetic structures and dynamics, benefiting from a precisely established theoretical framework. The neutron dipole moment interacts with electrons in materials via their magnetic field, which…
We propose a computationally simple model of Auger and APECS line shapes from open-band solids. Part of the intensity comes from the decay of unscreened core-holes and is obtained by the two-body Green's function $G^{(2)}_{\omega}$, as in…
In quantum dots (QDs) the Auger recombination is a non-radiative process, where the electron-hole recombination energy is transferred to an additional carrier. It has been studied mostly in colloidal QDs, where the Auger recombination time…
Resonant light interacting with matter can support different phases of a polarizable medium, and optical bistability where two such phases coexist. Here we identify signatures of optical phase transitions and optical bistability mapped onto…
The scattering potential of the defects on Ge(001) surfaces is investigated by first-principles methods. The standing wave in the spatial map of the local density of states obtained by wave function matching is compared to the image of the…
We show that sterically interacting self-propelled disks in the presence of random pinning substrates exhibit transitions among a variety of different states. In particular, from a phase separated cluster state, the disks can spread out and…
We consider a one-dimensional matter-wave bright soliton, corresponding to the ground bound state of N particles of mass m having a binary attractive delta potential interaction on the open line. For a full N-body quantum treatment, we…
Bound states arise in waveguide QED systems with a strong frequency-dependence of the coupling between emitters and photonic modes. While exciting such bound-states with single photon wave-packets is not possible, photon-photon interactions…
The possibility of having positronium (Ps) physisorbed at a material surface is of great fundamental interest, since it can lead to new insight regarding quantum sticking and is a necessary first step to try to obtain a Ps$_2$ molecule on a…
Atom-photon bound states arise from the coupling of quantum emitters to the band edge of dispersion-engineered waveguides. Thanks to their tunable-range interactions, they are promising building blocks for quantum simulators. Here, we study…
The exact time-dependent potential energy surface driving the nuclear dynamics was recently shown to be a useful tool to understand and interpret the coupling of nuclei, electrons, and photons, in cavity settings. Here we provide a detailed…
In this work we study the scattering of pairs of photons by a two-level system ultrastrongly coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. We describe this problem using a spin-boson model with an Ohmic environment $J(\omega)=\pi\alpha\omega^1.$…
Surface potential in a topological matter could unprecedentedly localize the waves. However, this surface potential is yet to be exploited in topological photonic systems. Here, we demonstrate that photonic surface states can be induced and…
In multipole-bound anions, the excess electron is attached by a short-range multipole potential of a neutral molecule. Such anions are prototypical marginally-bound open quantum systems. In particular, around the critical multipole moment…
Light scattering is one of the most established wave phenomena in optics, lying at the heart of light-matter interactions and of crucial importance for nanophotonic applications. Passivity, causality and energy conservation imply strict…
We find a new 5 eV satellite in the Ti 1s photoelectron spectrum of the transition-metal oxide SrTiO$_3$. This satellite appears in addition to the well-studied 13 eV structure that is typically associated with the Ti 2p core line. We give…
A wide variety of coupled harmonic oscillators exist in nature1. Coupling between different oscillators allows for the possibility of mutual energy transfer between them2-4 and the information-signal propagation5,6. Low-energy input signals…
