## Tuning quantum-classical correspondence for atomic and molecular systems in a cavity

Nimrod Moiseyev, Milan Sindelka
Abstract

We show that the correspondence between quantum and classical mechanics can be tuned by varying the coupling strength between an atom or a molecule and the modes of a cavity. In the acceleration gauge (AG) representation, the cavity-matter system is described by an eﬀective Hamiltonian, with a non-trivial coupling appearing in the potential, and with renormalized masses

## Entanglement Subvolume Law for 2D Frustration-Free Spin Systems

Anurag Anshu, Itai Arad, David Gosset
Abstract

Let H be a frustration-free Hamiltonian describing a 2D grid of qudits with local interactions, a unique ground state, and local spectral gap lower bounded by a positive constant. For any bipartition defined by a vertical cut of length L running from top to bottom of the grid, we prove that the corresponding entanglement entropy of the ground state of H is upper bounded

## Phonon-induced modification of quantum criticality

Abstract

We study the effect of acoustic phonons on the quantum phase transition in the O($N$) model. We develop a renormalization group analysis near (3+1) space-time dimensions and derive the RG equations using an $\epsilon$-expansion. Our results indicate that when the number of flavors of the underlying O($N$) model exceeds a critical number $N_c=4$, the quantum transition

Abstract

Two-dimensional periodically driven systems can host an unconventional topological phase unattainable for equilibrium systems, termed the Anomalous Floquet-Anderson insulator (AFAI). The AFAI features a quasi-energy spectrum with chiral edge modes and a fully localized bulk, leading to non-adiabatic but quantized charge pumping. Here, we show how such a Floquet phase

## The Problem of Engines in Statistical Physics

Robert Alicki, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Alejandro Jenkins
Abstract

Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematical physics over the last 300 years has tended to make their dynamics in time a theoretical blind spot. This has hampered the usefulness of statistical mechanics applied to active systems

## Demonstration of an entangling gate between non-interacting qubits using the Quantum Zeno effect

Eliya Blumenthal, Chen Mor, Asaf Diringer, Leigh S Martin, Daniel Burgarth, Katherine Birgitta Whaley, Shay Hacohen-Gourgy
Abstract

The Zeno effect occurs in quantum systems when a very strong measurement is applied, which can alter the dynamics in non-trivial ways. Despite being dissipative, the dynamics stay coherent within any degenerate subspaces of the measurement. Here we show that such a measurement can turn a single-qubit operation into a two- or multi-qubit entangling gate, even in a

## Optimal short-time measurements for Hamiltonian learning

Abstract

Characterizing noisy quantum devices requires methods for learning the underlying quantum Hamiltonian which governs their dynamics. Often, such methods compare measurements to simulations of candidate Hamiltonians, a task which requires exponential computational complexity. Here, we analyze and optimize a method which circumvents this difficulty using measurements of

## On the carrier transport and radiative recombination mechanisms in tunneling injection quantum dot lasers

Abstract

We report temperature-dependent current-voltage (I - V - T) and output light power-voltage or current (P - V - T) or (P - I - T) characteristics of 1550 nm tunneling injection quantum dot (TI QD) laser diodes. Experimental data is accompanied by physical models that distinguish between different current flow and light emission mechanisms for different applied voltages

## Quantum tomography of entangled spin-multi-photon states

Abstract

We present a novel method for quantum tomography of multi-qubit states. We apply the method to spin-multi-photon states, which we produce by periodic excitation of a semiconductor quantum-dot- confined spin every 1/4 of its coherent precession period. These timed excitations lead to the deterministic generation of strings of entangled photons in a cluster state. We show

## Orbital angular momentum multiplication in plasmonic vortex cavities

Grisha Spektor, Eva Prinz, Michael Hartelt, Anna-Katharina Mahro, Martin Aeschlimann, Meir Orenstein
Abstract

Orbital angular momentum of light is a core feature in photonics. Its confinement to surfaces using plasmonics has unlocked many phenomena and potential applications. Here, we introduce the reflection from structural boundaries as a new degree of freedom to generate and control plasmonic orbital angular momentum. We experimentally demonstrate plasmonic vortex cavities

## Superradiance and Subradiance due to Quantum Interference of Entangled Free Electrons

Aviv Karnieli, Nicholas Rivera, Ady Arie, Ido Kaminer
Abstract

When multiple quantum emitters radiate, their emission rate may be enhanced or suppressed due to collective interference in a process known as super- or subradiance. Such processes are well known to occur also in light emission from free electrons, known as coherent cathodoluminescence. Unlike atomic systems, free electrons have an unbounded energy spectrum, and, thus

## Extreme Light-Matter Interactions in the Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscope

Abstract

Over the past few years, quantized interactions between coherent free electrons and femtosecond laser pulses have shown intriguing new prospects for light-matter interactions. The talk will present theory and experiments of free electrons in laser-driven (ultrafast) transmission electron microscopy. Our experiment achieved what is, in many respects, the most powerful

## Experimental observation of acceleration-induced thermality

Abstract

We examine the radiation emitted by high-energy positrons channeled into silicon crystal samples. The positrons are modeled as semiclassical vector currents coupled to an Unruh-DeWitt detector to incorporate any local change in the energy of the positron. In the subsequent accelerated QED analysis, we discover a Larmor formula and power spectrum that are both thermalized
