Observation of first- and second-order dissipative phase transitions in a two-photon driven Kerr resonator

Vincenzo Savona, Pasquale Scarlino, Fabrizio Minganti, Simone Frasca, Guillaume Beaulieu

In open quantum systems, dissipative phase transitions (DPTs) emerge from the interplay between unitary evolution, drive, and dissipation. While second-order DPTs have been predominantly investigated theoretically, first-order DPTs have been observed in si ...

Criticality-Enhanced Quantum Sensing with a Parametric Superconducting Resonator

Pasquale Scarlino, Fabrizio Minganti, Simone Frasca, Marco Scigliuzzo, Guillaume Beaulieu

Quantum metrology, a cornerstone of quantum technologies, exploits entanglement and superposition to achieve higher precision than classical protocols in parameter-estimation tasks. When combined with critical phenomena such as phase transitions, the diver ...

Landau–Zener without a qubit: multiphoton sidebands interaction and signatures of dissipative quantum chaos

Vincenzo Savona, Pasquale Scarlino, Fabrizio Minganti, Marco Scigliuzzo, Vincent Jean Yves Jouanny

Landau–Zener–Stückelberg–Majorana (LZSM) interference occurs when qubit parameters are periodically modulated across avoided level crossings. We explore this phenomenon in nonlinear multilevel bosonic systems, where interference is influenced by multiple e ...

Dissipative quantum chaos unveiled by stochastic quantum trajectories

Vincenzo Savona, Pasquale Scarlino, Fabrizio Minganti, Luca Gravina, Debbie Eeltink

We define quantum chaos and integrability in open quantum many-body systems as a dynamical property of single stochastic realizations, referred to as quantum trajectories. This definition relies on the predictions of random matrix theory applied to the sub ...

How to realize compact and noncompact localized states in disorder-free hypercube networks

Fabrizio Minganti

We present a method for realizing various zero-energy localized states on disorder-free hypercube graphs. Previous works have already indicated that disorder is not essential for observing localization phenomena in noninteracting systems, with some promine ...

Restoring Adiabatic State Transfer in Time-Modulated Non-Hermitian Systems

Fabrizio Minganti

Non-Hermitian systems have attracted much interest in recent decades, driven partly by the existence of exotic spectral singularities, known as exceptional points (EPs), where the dimensionality of the system evolution operator is reduced. Among various in ...

Phonon pumping by modulating the ultrastrong vacuum

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, Marco Scigliuzzo

The vacuum (i.e., the ground state) of a system in ultrastrong light-matter coupling contains particles that cannot be emitted without any dynamical perturbation and is thus called virtual. We propose a protocol for inducing and observing real mechanical e ...

NbN films with high kinetic inductance for high-quality compact superconducting resonators

Edoardo Charbon, Pasquale Scarlino, Fabrizio Minganti, Simone Frasca, Marco Scigliuzzo, Vincent Jean Yves Jouanny, Fabian Oppliger, Roberto Musio

Niobium nitride (NbN) is a particularly promising material for quantum technology applications, as it shows the degree of reproducibility necessary for large-scale superconducting circuits. We demonstrate that resonators based on NbN thin films present a o ...

Critical Schrodinger Cat Qubit

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, Luca Gravina

Encoding quantum information onto bosonic systems is a promising route to quantum error correc-tion. In a cat code, this encoding relies on the confinement of the dynamics of the system onto the two-dimensional manifold spanned by Schrodinger cats of oppos ...

Emergent non-Hermitian localization phenomena in the synthetic space of zero-dimensional bosonic systems

Fabrizio Minganti

Phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems are at the focus of cutting edge theoretical and experimental research. On the one hand, parity-time- (PT-) and anti-PT-symmetric physics have gained ever-growing interest, due to the existence of non-Hermitian sp ...
