Mimicking quantum phenomena with classical meta-materials

Nikolay I. Zheludev

Published Oct 1, 2008• 0 citations

Abstract

In this talk we aim to explore some parallels between the well established quantum effects and electromagnetic response of meta-materials. Keystone quantum phenomena like Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT), Stimulated Emission, the Mossbauer Effect, the Meissner Effect and beta-decay are among those that have intriguingly close counterparts in electromagnetic meta-materials.

Mimicking and modelling physics phenomena using photonic metamaterials

Nikolay I. Zheludev

We aim to explore electromagnetic metamaterials as a platform for mimicking and modelling a broader physical realm. Keystone physics ideas and phenomena of quantum physics such as Electromagnetically Induced Transparency, Bose-Einstein Condensation, lasing, the Mossbauer Effect, the Meissner Effect, parity violation in atoms and the concept of anion are among those that could be intriguingly close mimicked in classical electromagnetic meta-materials.

We introduce a new class of coherent metamaterials where regular ensembles of meta-molecules show collective, coherent narrow-band response leading to unusual electromagnetic properties that invites drawing the parallels with some well-know physical phenomena.

Slowing down the light by using coupled stereoscopic dielectric metamaterials

Cheng‐Kuang Chen, Ta‐Jen Yen

New designs "meta-atom" and "meta-material" composed from all-dielectric resonators with high Q and low loss, this kind metamaterial is coupled from propagating plane wave and generates electromagnetic response like electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic vapor. The "meta-atom" or "meta-molecular" are not only workable in room temperature but also enable three dimensional ommidirectionally incident with superposition stacking. Meanwhile, the EIT-like via dielectric metamaterial with high transmittance, dramatic index change and tunable operating frequency. The simulation result agrees the possibility electromagnetically induced transparency -like bulk exists from microwave to THz region.
