It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

60.7K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Optics
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Nanophotonics

Background:

  • Vacuum fluctuations are fundamental to quantum optics, driving nonclassical phenomena.
  • Controlling vacuum fluctuations is crucial for manipulating light-matter interactions, such as quantum emitter decay.
  • Resonant cavities and photonic crystals are established platforms for managing vacuum fluctuations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically investigate the manipulation of vacuum fluctuations within epsilon-and-mu-near-zero (EMNZ) media.
  • To propose zero-index structures as a novel platform for controlling quantum emitter decay.
  • To explore new dynamics in light-matter interactions using EMNZ environments.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical demonstration of vacuum fluctuation inhibition and excitation in EMNZ media.
  • Analysis of bound eigenmodes within zero-index structures.
  • Investigation of vacuum Rabi frequency modulation via EMNZ region deformation.

Main Results:

  • Vacuum fluctuations are naturally inhibited within bodies immersed in EMNZ media.
  • Selective excitation of vacuum fluctuations is achievable via bound eigenmodes.
  • Direct modulation of the vacuum Rabi frequency is demonstrated by deforming the EMNZ region without detuning.

Conclusions:

  • Zero-index structures provide an alternative platform for manipulating quantum emitter decay.
  • EMNZ media enable qualitatively different dynamics in light-matter interactions.
  • Synthetic implementations using structural dispersion offer potential pathways for realizing these concepts.
