Quantum vacuum emission in a nonlinear optical medium illuminated by a strong laser pulse
A strong light pulse propagating in a nonlinear Kerr medium produces a change in the refractive index, which makes light travel at different speeds inside and outside the pulse. By tuning the pulse velocity, an analog black hole horizon can be obtained in a suitable frequency window. In this paper, we develop a quantum...

HDs are coherent light processing systems based on interference and diffraction, thus they generally use laser light. However, laser sources are relatively exp...

Greater Sparing Of Visual Search Abilities In Children After Congenital Rather Than Acquired Focal Brain Damage
Background. Visual search refers to the capacity of an individual to find a target among simultaneously presented distracters and is based on visual abilities such as a fast visual processing and an accurate control of ballistic eye movements (saccades) that guide the fovea to the target location. Objective. In adults,...

Toward a nonequilibrium green functions approach to diffusion in strongly coupled finite quantum systems
Transport properties of strongly correlated quantum systems are of central interest in condensed matter, ultracold atoms and in dense plasmas. There, the proper treatment of strong correlations poses a great challenge to theory. Here, we apply a Nonequilibrium Green Functions approach using a lattice model as a basic s...
