Quantum Collective Dynamics From the neV To the GeV

Three problems are investigated in the context of quantum collective dynamics. First, we examine the optomechanics of a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in an optical ring cavity and coupled to counter-propagating light fields. Virtual dipole transitions cause the light to recoil elastically from th...
