Trapping atoms using nanoscale quantum vacuum forces
Quantum vacuum forces dictate the interaction between individual atoms and dielectric surfaces at nanoscale distances. For example, their large strengths typically overwhelm externally applied forces, which makes it challenging to controllably interface cold atoms with nearby nanophotonic systems. Here we theoretically show that it is possible to tailor the vacuum forces themselves to provide s...
متن کاملOn Sub-Millimeter Forces From Extra Dimensions
We show that in theories with large extra dimensions forces mediated by a bulk dilaton and bulk gauge fields may be parametrically (exponentially) weaker than gravity due to the suppression of their wave-functions on a brane. This is the case when dilaton gets stabilized by certain strongly coupled dynamics on the brane, or the bulk gauge symmetries are spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechani...
متن کاملTesting Gravity with Gravitational Wave Source Counts
We show that the gravitational wave source counts distribution can test how gravitational radiation propagates on cosmological scales. This test does not require obtaining redshifts for the sources. If the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, ρ) from a gravitational wave source is proportional to the strain then it falls as R−1, thus we expect the source counts to follow dN/dρ ∝ ρ−4. However, if gravita...
متن کاملThought experiments on gravitational forces
Large contributions to the near closure of the Universe and to the acceleration of its expansion are due to the gravitation of components of the stress–energy tensor other than its mass density. To familiarize astronomers with the gravitation of these components we conduct thought experiments on gravity, analogous to the real experiments that our forebears conducted on electricity. By analogy t...
متن کاملDesigning an Am-Be miniature neutron source
Background: Miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. The most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. In this research, we have surveyed and designed an Am-Be miniature neutron source fabrication. Materials and Methods: This investigation resulted in creation...
