In this work we provide a complete model of semiclassical theories by including back-reaction and correlation into the picture. We specially aim at the interaction between light and a two-level atom, and we also illustrate it via the…
(Abridged) We compare recent results from X-ray, strong lensing, weak lensing, and optical observations with numerical simulations of the merging galaxy cluster 1E0657-56. X-ray observations reveal a bullet-like subcluster with a prominent…
We test current numerical implementations of laser-matter interactions by comparison with exact analytical results. Focussing on photon emission processes, it is found that the numerics accurately reproduce analytical emission spectra in…
The present study examines the mathematical properties of the free-free ( f-f) matrix elements of the full electric field operator, of the multipolar Hamiltonian. Special methods are developed and applied for their computation, for the…
We construct a relativistic potential quark model of $D$, $D_s$, $B$, and $B_s$ mesons in which the light quark motion is described by the Dirac equation with a scalar-vector interaction and the heavy quark is considered a local source of…
Light-matter interaction processes are significantly affected by surrounding electromagnetic environment. Dielectric materials are usually introduced into an interaction picture via their classical properties, e.g. permittivity, appearing…
We present a new primitive for quantum algorithms that implements a discrete Hermite transform efficiently, in time that depends logarithmically in both the dimension and the inverse of the allowable error. This transform, which maps basis…
Truncated Fourier, Gauss, Kummer and exponential sums can be used to factorize numbers: for a factor these sums equal unity in absolute value, whereas they nearly vanish for any other number. We show how this factorization algorithm can…
At the most fundamental level, the interaction between light and matter is manifested by the emission and absorption of single photons by single quantum emitters. Controlling light--matter interaction is the basis for diverse applications…
The analysis of Fourier-transformed scanning-tunneling-microscopy (STM) images with subatomic resolution is a common tool for studying properties of quasiparticle excitations in strongly correlated materials. While Fourier amplitudes are…
The propagation of light beams is well described using the paraxial approximation, where field components along the propagation direction are usually neglected. For strongly inhomogeneous or shaped light fields, however, this approximation…
We study time-harmonic Maxwell's equations in meta-materials that use either perfect conductors or high-contrast materials. Based on known effective equations for perfectly conducting inclusions, we calculate the transmission and reflection…
This paper presents a new method, based on the well-known method of moments (MoM), for the numerical electromagnetic analysis of scattering and radiation from metallic or dielectric structures, or both structure types in the same…
For the flavor-singlet heavy quark system of charmonia in the pseudoscalar ($\eta_c(1S)$) channel, we calculate the elastic (EFF) and transition form factors (TFF) ($\eta_c(1S) \rightarrow \gamma \gamma^*$) for a wide range of photon…
Light-matter interfaces are pivotal for quantum computation and communication. While typically analyzed using single-mode or open-quantum-system approximations, these models often neglect multi-mode field states and light-matter…
Various topics at the interface between condensed matter physics and the physics of ultra-cold fermionic atoms in optical lattices are discussed. The lectures start with basic considerations on energy scales, and on the regimes in which a…
Light incident on a layer of scattering material such as a piece of sugar or white paper forms a characteristic speckle pattern in transmission and reflection. The information hidden in the correlations of the speckle pattern with varying…
This paper describes the results of our theoretical and numerical studies of hydrodynamic interactions in a suspension of spherical particles confined between two parallel planar walls, under creeping-flow conditions. We propose a novel…
A planar Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Proca model endowed with a Lorentz-violating background is taken as framework to investigate the electron-electron interaction. The Dirac sector is introduced exhibiting a Yukawa and a minimal coupling with the…
In many time-harmonic electromagnetic wave problems, the considered geometry exhibits an axial symmetry. In this case, by exploiting a Fourier expansion along the azimuthal direction, fully three-dimensional (3D) calculations can be carried…
