On the entropy of fermionic reduced density matrices

The antisymmetry of a fermionic quantum state has a marked effect on its entanglement properties. Recently, Carlen, Lieb and Reuvers (CLR) studied this effect, in particular concerning the entropy of the two-body reduced density matrix of a fermionic state ...

Path integral approach to the quantum fidelity amplitude

Jiri Vanicek

The Loschmidt echo is a measure of quantum irreversibility and is determined by the fidelity amplitude of an imperfect time-reversal protocol. Fidelity amplitude plays an important role both in the foundations of quantum mechanics and its applications, suc ...

Quantum limits on measurement and control of a mechanical oscillator

Vivishek Sudhir

The precision measurement of position has a long-standing tradition in physics. Cavendish's verification of the universal law of gravitation using a torsion pendulum, Perrin's confirmation of the atomic hypothesis via the precise measurement of the Brownia ...

On the physics of polariton interactions

Naotomo Takemura

An exciton-polariton is a quasi-particle that emerges from the strong coupling between an exciton and a photon. Recently, the studies of the exciton-polariton have been receiving a great deal of attention in terms of both fundamental physics and potential ...

Effect of Pure Dephasing and Phonon Scattering on the Coupling of Semiconductor Quantum Dots to Optical Cavities

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Benjamin Dwir, Pascal Gallo, Alexey Lyasota, Clément William Tendaï Jarlov, Milan Calic

Using site-controlled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) free of multiexcitonic continuum states, integrated with photonic crystal membrane cavities, we clarify the effects of pure dephasing and phonon scattering on exciton-cavity coupling in the weak-coupli ...

Measurement-based control of a mechanical oscillator at its thermal decoherence rate

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir, Amir Hossein Ghadimi

In real-time quantum feedback protocols(1,2), the record of a continuous measurement is used to stabilize a desired quantum state. Recent years have seen successful applications of these protocols in a variety of well-isolated micro-systems, including micr ...

Remote macroscopic entanglement on a photonic crystal architecture

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac, Momchil Minkov

The outstanding progress in nanostructure fabrication and cooling technologies allows what was unthinkable a few decades ago: bringing single-mode mechanical vibrations to the quantum regime. The coupling between photon and phonon excitations is a natural ...

An introduction to the problem of bridging quantum and classical dynamics

Sara Bonella

Simulating the exact quantum dynamics of realistic interacting systems is presently a task beyond reach but for the smallest of them, as the numerical cost for solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation scales exponentially with the number of degrees ...

Coupled Electronic and Structural Relaxation Pathways in the Postexcitation Dynamics of Rydberg States of BaArN Clusters

We investigate, theoretically, the joint relaxation of orbital and structure in postexcitation dynamics of Rydberg states of cluster BaArN (N = 250). Mixed quantum-classical dynamics is used to account for the nonadiabatic transitions among more than 160 e ...
