In this context, we employ the Dicke model which is known to exhibit a super radiant quantum phase transition (QPT) and we allow one of the mirrors to move under a linear restoring force. The electromagnetic field couples to the movable mirror though radiation pressure just like in typical optomechanical setups. We show that, in the thermodynamical limit, the super-radiant phase induces a classical driving force on the mirror without causing decoherence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-03-04T13:29:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42.50.Pq", "42.50.Ct", "73.43.Nq", "42.50.Wk" ], "keywords": [ "dicke model", "mechanical vibrations", "super radiant quantum phase transition", "super-radiant phase induces", "electromagnetic field couples" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2010, "month": "Dec", "volume": 82, "number": 6, "pages": "063801" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvA..82f3801S" } } }
