Increasing quantum communication rates using hyperentangled photonic states
AbstractQuantum communication is based on the generation of quantum states and exploitation of quantum resources for communication protocols. Currently, photons are considered as the optimal carriers of information, because they enable long-distance transition with resilience to decoherence and they are relatively easy to create and detect. Entanglement is a fundamental resource

Disentanglement-induced multistability
AbstractMultistability cannot be derived from any theoretical model that is based on a monostable master equation. On the other hand, multistability is experimentally-observed in a variety of quantum systems. A master equation having a nonlinear term that gives rise to disentanglement has been recently proposed . The dynamics governed by this master equation is explored for a

Learning a quantum channel from its steady-state
AbstractWe present a scalable method for learning local quantum channels using local expectation values measured on a single state --- their steady state. Our method is inspired by the algorithms for learning local Hamiltonians from their ground states. For it to succeed, the steady state must be non-trivial, and therefore the channel needs to be non-unital. Such non-unital

The two critical temperatures conundrum in La Sr CuO
AbstractThe in-plane and out-of-plane superconducting stiffness of L a 1.83 S r 0.17 C u O 4 rings appear to vanish at different transition temperatures, which contradicts thermodynamical expectation. In addition, we observe a surprisingly strong dependence of the out-of-plane stiffness transition on sample width. With evidence from Monte Carlo simulations, this effect is

Quantum Transport Theory of Strongly Correlated Matter
AbstractThis report reviews recent progress in computing Kubo formulas for general interacting Hamiltonians. The aim is to calculate electric and thermal magneto-conductivities in strong scattering regimes where Boltzmann equation and Hall conductivity proxies exceed their validity. Three primary approaches are explained. 1. Degeneracy-projected polarization formulas for

From density functional theory to machine learning predictive models for electrical properties of spinel oxides
AbstractThis work focuses on predicting and characterizing the electronic conductivity of spinel oxides, which are promising materials for energy storage devices and for the oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction reactions due to their attractive properties and abundance of transition metals that can act as active sites for catalysis. To this end, a new database was developed

Motion from Measurement: The Role of Symmetry of Quantum Measurements
AbstractIn quantum mechanics, measurements are dynamical processes and thus they should be capable of inducing currents. The symmetries of the Hamiltonian and measurement operator provide an organizing principle for understanding the conditions for such currents to emerge. The central role is played by the inversion and time-reversal symmetries. We classify the distinct behaviors

Quantum work: Reconciling quantum mechanics and thermodynamics
AbstractIt has been claimed that no protocol for measuring quantum work can satisfy standard physical principles, casting doubts on the compatibility between quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and the classical limit. In this Letter, we present a solution for this incompatibility. We demonstrate that the standard formulation of these principles fails to address the classical

Adaptive projected variational quantum dynamics
AbstractWe propose an adaptive quantum algorithm to prepare accurate variational time evolved wave functions. The method is based on the projected variational quantum dynamics (pVQD) algorithm, that performs a global optimization with linear scaling in the number of variational parameters. Instead of fixing a variational ansatz at the beginning of the simulation, the circuit
