    Exact collective occupancies of the Moshinsky model in two-dimensional geometry

    We consider a system of N bosons in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic potential, interacting with a force proportional to the square of the distance between the particles. The Hamiltonian of this system has the form11

    Astrophysicist Proposes Interstellar Mission to Study Black Holes

    In a new paper published in the journal iScience, an astrophysicist from Fudan University discusses the possibility of sending a nanocraft to a black hole at 20-25 light-years from Earth to test the nature of the compact object and fundamental…

    Scientists freeze quantum motion without cooling

    What are the limits of quantum physics? This is a question that has been researched around the world for decades. If we want to make the properties of the quantum world technically usable, we need to understand whether objects that are…

  • Optomechanical control of long-lived bulk acoustic phonons in the quantum regime

    Optomechanical control of long-lived bulk acoustic phonons in the quantum regime

    The cavity optomechanical system

    In what follows, we build our cavity optomechanical system around the μHBAR seen in Fig. 1a. The μHBAR is an FP resonator for bulk acoustic phonons, supporting a series of high-Q-factor Gaussian modes. The μHBAR…
