Atoms in hollow-core fibers: a QED approach

We outline mechanical effects of light-matter interaction inside hollow-core optical fibers. Starting with quantized electromagnetic radiation, we demonstrate how dispersion, mode functions and losses define an open quantum system and how subsequent Langevin equations can be used to predict spatially-dependent vacuum forces. Conceptually, we reveal new, geometry-induced, forces that have no equivalence in unbounded 3D space and, practically, show how the general spatial dependence can be grea...

Metaphors and popularisation: how to explain artificial intelligence to the lay public

The relationship between metaphor and artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging field of study that can explore how metaphors, as cognitive tools, can influence and enhance understanding and interaction with AI systems. Metaphors play a key role in understanding and interacting with artificial intelligence. Thanks to familiar analogies, conceptual metaphors such as AI IS AN ARTIFICIAL BRAIN or AI IS AN ALLY not only facilitate learning and acceptance of the technology, but also influen...
