We investigate quantum correlations in microwave radiation produced by the dynamical Casimir effect in a superconducting waveguide terminated and modulated by a superconducting quantum interference device. We apply nonclassicality tests and evaluate the entanglement for the predicted field states. For realistic circuit parameters, including thermal background noise, the results indicate that the produced radiation can be strictly nonclassical and can have a measurable amount of intermode…

Asymmetric quantum correlations in the dynamical Casimir effect
TLDR
It is shown that steering from Bob to Alice is more difficult than steering from Alice to Bob and regions that represent states that, although entangled, cannot be used for teleporting coherent states; however, the steerable states are appropriate for quantum teleportation.

Electro-mechanical Casimir effect
The dynamical Casimir effect is an intriguing phenomenon in which photons are generated from vacuum due to a non-adiabatic change in some boundary conditions. In particular, it connects the motion of…

Entanglement of superconducting qubits via acceleration radiation

It is shown that simulated relativistic motion can generate entanglement between artificial atoms and protect them from spontaneous emission and can generate a Zeno-like effect, preserving the excitations from radiative decay.
Observation of the dynamical Casimir effect in a superconducting circuit
TLDR
The dynamical Casimir effect is observed in a superconducting circuit consisting of a coplanar transmission line with a tunable electrical length and two-mode squeezing in the emitted radiation is detected, which is a signature of the quantum character of the generation process.

It is experimentally feasible to directly detect this nonclassical broadband radiation and the power of the radiation is estimated for realistic parameters and shown to be identical to the one calculated in the dynamical Casimir effect for a single oscillating mirror.

The macroscopic electromagnetic field within a perfect cavity containing a thin slab with a time-dependent dielectric permittivity is quantized in terms of the dual potentials and it turns out that only TM modes can be excited efficiently.
