The transmission of a two-level quantum emitter in its ground state through a graphene nanosheet is investigated. The graphene plasmons (GPs) field distribution, especially the opposite orientations of the vertical electric field components on the two sides of the graphene nanosheet, produces a significant nonadiabatic process during the interaction between the emitter and the localized GPs. By taking into account the counterrotating terms, the excitation of the quantum emitter with simultaneous emission of a GP has a large probability. This happens for emitter speeds of about 10^{-4} times the speed of light. For accelerated emitters, the GPs exhibit thermal field photon distribution with a high temperature. As a consequence, this study provides a promising platform to observe the dynamical Casimir effect as well as a simulation of the Unruh effect.

The advent of two-dimensional van der Waals materials is a frontier of condensed matter physics and quantum devices. However, characterizing such materials remains challenging due to the limitations of bulk material techniques, necessitating the development of specialized methods. Here, we investigate the superconducting properties of BiSrCaCuO flakes by integrating them with a hybrid superconducting microwave resonator.

A notable feature of systems with non-Hermitian skin effects is the sensitivity to boundary conditions. In this work, we introduce one type of boundary condition provided by a coupling impurity. We consider a system where a two-level system as an impurity couples to a nonreciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain under periodic boundary conditions at two points with asymmetric couplings.

Classically, the refractive index of a medium is due to a response on said medium from an electromagnetic field. It has been shown that a single two-level atom interacting with a single photon undergoes dispersion. The following extends that analyses to a three-level system interacting with two photons.

Polarization mode dispersion can introduce quantum decoherence in polarization encoded information, limiting the range of quantum communications protocols. Therefore, strategies to nullify the effect would reduce quantum decoherence and potentially increase the operational range of such technology. We constructed a quantum model of polarization mode dispersion alongside a two-level absorbing material.

The molecular energy transfer is crucial for many different physicochemical processes. The efficiency of traditional resonance energy transfer relies on dipole-dipole distance between molecules and becomes negligible when the distance is larger than ∼10 nm, which is difficult to overcome. Cavity polariton, formed when placing molecules inside the cavity, is a promising way to surmount the distance limit.
