摘要:

被限制在电磁腔中的真空模式引起相对壁之间的吸引相互作用。当两壁之间的距离非线性地改变时,虚拟真空模式转变为真实粒子,即光子从真空中产生。这些效应分别被称为静态和动态卡西米尔效应。在这里,我们展示了动态卡西米尔效应使用约瑟夫森超材料嵌入在微波腔在5.4 GHz。我们实现了非绝热变化的有效长度的腔的量子阱基超材料的磁通调制,这导致在几个百分点的变化的光的速度。我们表明,能量相关的光子产生的基态的腔和它们的功率谱显示双峰频率分布。这些结果与理论预测非常吻合,一直到经典参数效应不能起作用的区域。

英文摘要:

Vacuum modes confined into an electromagnetic cavity give rise to an attractive interaction between the opposite walls. When the distance between the walls is changed non-adiabatically, virtual vacuum modes are turned into real particles, i.e. photons are generated out of the vacuum. These effects are known as the static and dynamical Casimir effect, respectively. Here we demonstrate the dynamical Casimir effect using a Josephson metamaterial embedded in a microwave cavity at 5.4 GHz. We achieve the non-adiabatic change in the effective length of the cavity by flux-modulation of the SQUID-based metamaterial, which results in a few percent variation in the velocity of light. We show that energy-correlated photons are generated from the ground state of the cavity and that their power spectra display a bimodal frequency distribution. These results are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions, all the way to the regime where classical parametric effects cannot be of consequence.
