We have fabricated pillar microcavity samples with Bragg mirrors consisting of alternate layers of GaAs and Aluminium Oxide. Compared to the more widely studied GaAs/AlAs micropillars these mirrors can achieve higher reflectivities with fewer layer repeats and reduce the mode volume. We have studied a number of samples containing a low density of InGaAs/GaAs self assembled quantum dots in a cavity and here report observation of a three fold enhancement in the radiative lifetime of a quantum dot exciton state due to the Purcell effect.

Tunnelling of material particles through a classically impenetrable barrier constitutes one of the hallmark effects of quantum physics. When interactions between the particles compete with their mobility through a tunnel junction, intriguing novel dy
namical behaviour can arise where particles do not tunnel independently. In single-electron or Bloch transistors, for example, the tunnelling of an electron or Cooper pair can be enabled or suppressed by the presence of a second charge carrier due to Coulomb blockade. Here we report on the first direct and time-resolved observation of correlated tunnelling of two interacting atoms through a barrier in a double well potential. We show that for weak interactions between the atoms and dominating tunnel coupling, individual atoms can tunnel independently, similar to the case in a normal Josephson junction. With strong repulsive interactions present, two atoms located on one side of the barrier cannot separate, but are observed to tunnel together as a pair in a second order co-tunnelling process. By recording both the atom position and phase coherence over time, we fully characterize the tunnelling process for a single atom as well as the correlated dynamics of a pair of atoms for weak and strong interactions. In addition, we identify a conditional tunnelling regime, where a single atom can only tunnel in the presence of a second particle, acting as a single atom switch. Our work constitutes the first direct observation of second order tunnelling events with ultracold atoms, which are the dominating dynamical effect in the strongly interacting regime. Similar second-order processes form the basis of superexchange interactions between atoms on neighbouring lattice sites of a periodic potential, a central component of quantum magnetism.
We numerically model key building blocks of a phononic integrated circuit that enable phonon routing in high-acoustic-index waveguides. Our particular focus is on Gallium Nitride-on-sapphire phononic platform which has recently demonstrated high acou
stic confinement in its top layer without the use of suspended structures. We start with systematic simulation of various transverse phonon modes supported in strip waveguides and ring resonators with sub-wavelength cross-section. Mode confinement and quality factors of phonon modes are numerically investigated with respect to geometric parameters. Quality factor up to $10^{8}$ is predicted in optimized ring resonators. We next study the design of the phononic directional couplers, and present key design parameters for achieving strong evanescent couplings between modes propagating in parallel waveguides. Last, interdigitated transducer electrodes are included in the simulation for direct excitation of a ring resonator and critical coupling between microwave input and phononic dissipation. Our work provides comprehensive numerical characterization of phonon modes and functional phononic components in high-acoustic-index phononic circuits, which supplements previous theories and contributes to the emerging field of phononic integrated circuits.
The light emission of self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots embedded in single GaAs-based micropillars has been studied by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The altered spontaneous emission is found to be accompanied by a non-exponen
tial decay of the photoluminescence where the decay rate strongly depends on the excitation intensity. A microscopic theory of the quantum dot photon emission is used to explain both, the non-exponential decay and its intensity dependence. Also the transition from spontaneous to stimulated emission is studied.
Purcell effect predicts that spontaneous radiation is not an intrinsic property of matter, but is affected by the environment in which it is located, and is the result of the interaction of matter and field. Purcell effect can be inferred from Fermi
Gold rule through strict quantum electrodynamics (QED), and through it can achieve the enhancement or suppression of radiation. We suggest that, in principle, the Purcell effect can be detected at the percentage level of neutron decay in experiments with trapped ultra-cold neutrons. As a test of our claim, we propose a currently achievable experimental protocol that can detect whether Purcell effect has occurred in an trapped ultra-cold neutron lifetime measurement experiment. Finally, we discuss the discrepancy in current methods of measuring neutron lifetime, which may be caused by different experimental setups.
Non-Hermitian (NH) systems may have quite different physics properties from that of Hermitian counterparts. For example, in the NH systems with nonreciprocal hopping, there exists (single-body version of) skin effect-The eigenstates are exponentially
localized at the boundaries. An interesting problem is about the generalization of NH skin effect to a many-body NH system. In this paper, we studied many-body physics in the quantum systems with nonreciprocal hoppings and obtained analytical results. In these many-body NH systems, the single-body NH skin effect upgrades to quantum (Maxwell s) pressure-demon effect, which leads to band-width renormalization and a uniform pressure gradient to the system. In particular, according to the quantum pressure-demon effect, in many-body Bosonic/Fermionic Hotano-Nelson model, there exist new physical phenomena compared with their Hermitian counterparts: Liouvillian Bose-Einstein condensation and Liouvillian Fermi-surface in real space, respectively. This discovery will open a door to learn many-body physics for NH quantum systems.
