The method of adiabatic frequency conversion, in analogy with the two level atomic system, has been put forward recently and verified experimentally to achieve robust frequency mixing processes such as sum and difference frequency…
To date, epsilon near zero (ENZ) responses, characterized by an infinite phase velocity, are primarily achieved by applying a monochromatic light source to a tailored metamaterial. Here, we derive the equations for inducing a dynamically…
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterials represent a powerful toolkit for selectively transmitting and localizing light through cavity resonances, enabling the study of mesoscopic phenomena and facilitating the design of photonic devices. In…
We study the evolution of the energy and magnetic moment of a quantum charged particle placed in a homogeneous magnetic field, when this field changes adiabatically its sign. We show that after a single magnetic field passage through zero…
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials have recently emerged as a promising platform for infrared nanophotonics. A significant challenge in the design of ENZ-based optics is to control the dispersion of ENZ modes, which otherwise have a flat…
We present a geometrical representation of sum frequency generation process in the undepleted pump approximation. The analogy of such dynamics with the known optical Bloch equations is discussed. We use this analogy to present a novel…
Quantum field theory predicts that a spatially homogeneous but temporally varying medium will excite photon pairs out of the vacuum state. However, this important theoretical prediction lacks experimental verification due to the difficulty…
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials have shown significant potential for nonlinear optical applications due to their ultrafast hot carriers and consequent optical nonlinearity enhancement. Modified poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)…
In this work, we propose epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) nanoparticles formed of metal and dielectric bilayers and employ the effective medium approach for multilayered nanospheres to study their optical response. We obtained a passive tunable ENZ…
We consider the propagation of acoustic, electromagnetic and elastic waves in a one-dimensional periodic two-component material. Accurate asymptotic formulas are provided for the group velocity as a function of the material parameters when…
The problem of escape of a Brownian particle in a cusp-shaped metastable potential is of special importance in nonadiabatic and weakly-adiabatic rate theory for electron transfer (ET) reactions. Especially, for the weakly-adiabatic…
In this work we derive novel ultrafast shortcuts for adiabatic rapid passage for a qubit where the only control variable is the longitudinal $z$-field, while the transverse $x$-field remains constant. This restrictive framework is pertinent…
We investigate second harmonic generation, low-threshold multistability, all-optical switching, and inherently nonlocal effects due to the free-electron gas pressure in an epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterial slab made of cylindrical,…
Frequency upconversion of an electromagnetic wave can occur in ionized plasma with decreasing electric permittivity and in split-ring resonator-structure metamaterials with decreasing magnetic permeability. We develop a general theory to…
Epsilon near zero (ENZ) conditions have been observed to enhance superconducting properties of a composite metamaterial based on random mixing of superconductor and ferroelectic nanoparticles. Here we analyse several other promising…
Quantum pumping, in its different forms, is attracting attention from different fields, from fundamental quantum mechanics, to nanotechnology, to superconductivity. We investigate the crossover of quantum pumping from the adiabatic to the…
Faithful conversion of quantum signals between microwave and optical frequency domains is crucial for building quantum networks based on superconducting circuits. Optoelectromechanical systems, in which microwave and optical cavity modes…
Plasmonic crystals are a class of optical metamaterials that consist of engineered structures at the sub-wavelength scale. They exhibit optical properties that are not found under normal circumstances in nature, such as…
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) photonics provides a powerful route to extreme dispersion engineering, strong field confinement, and unconventional wave phenomena. A closely related concept is \textit{photonic doping}, where subwavelength…
The intrinsic limitation of the material nonlinearity inevitably results in the poor mode purity, conversion efficiency and real-time reconfigurability of the generated harmonic waves, both in optics and acoustics. Rotational Doppler effect…
