Adaptive variational low-rank dynamics for open quantum systems

We introduce a model-independent method for the efficient simulation of low-entropy systems, whose dynamics can be accurately described with a limited number of states. Our method leverages the time-dependent variational principle to efficiently integrate ...

Ultra-high quantum coherent and scalable superconducting circuit optomechanics, from topological lattices to quantum storage

Amir Youssefi

Mechanical oscillators can exhibit modes with ultra-low energy dissipation and compact form factors due to the slow velocity of acoustic waves, and are already used in applications ranging from timing to wireless filters. Over the past decade, novel ways i ...

Programmable frequency-bin quantum states in a nano-engineered silicon device

Matteo Galli, Marco Clementi

Frequency-bin qubits get the best of time-bin and dual-rail encodings, but require external modulators and pulse shapers to build arbitrary states. Here, instead, the authors work directly on-chip by controlling the interference of biphoton amplitudes gene ...

Mitigation of frequency collisions in superconducting quantum processors

Marco Scigliuzzo

The reproducibility of qubit parameters is a challenge for scaling up superconducting quantum processors. Signal cross talk imposes constraints on the frequency separation between neighboring qubits. The frequency uncertainty of transmon qubits arising fro ...

Tensor network investigation of the hard-square model

Frédéric Mila, Samuel Louis Nyckees

Using the corner-transfer matrix renormalization group to contract the tensor network that describes its partition function, we investigate the nature of the phase transitions of the hard-square model, one of the exactly solved models of statistical physic ...

Creating and controlling exceptional points of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians via homodyne Lindbladian invariance

Fabrizio Minganti

The exceptional points (EPs) of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (NHHs) are spectral degeneracies associated with coalescing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which are associated with remarkable dynamical properties. These EPs can be generated experimentally in ope ...

Coherent Hole Transport in Selective Area Grown Ge Nanowire Networks

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Alok Rudra, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Andrea Giunto, Santhanu Panikar Ramanandan

Holes in germanium nanowires have emerged as a realistic platform for quantum computing based on spin qubit logic. On top of the large spin–orbit coupling that allows fast qubit operation, nanowire geometry and orientation can be tuned to cancel out charge ...

Quantum dynamics of dissipative Kerr solitons

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, Riccardo Rota, Kilian Robert Seibold

Dissipative Kerr solitons arising from parametric gain in ring microresonators are usually described within a classical mean-field framework. Here, we develop a quantum-mechanical model of dissipative Kerr solitons in terms of the Lindblad master equation ...

Arnoldi-Lindblad time evolution: Faster-than-the-clock algorithm for the spectrum of time-independent and Floquet open quantum systems

Fabrizio Minganti

The characterization of open quantum systems is a central and recurring problem for the development of quantum technologies. For time-independent systems, an (often unique) steady state describes the average physics once all the transient processes have fa ...

Reduced basis methods for numerical room acoustic simulations with parametrized boundaries

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

The use of model-based numerical simulations of wave propagation in rooms for engineering applications requires that acoustic conditions for multiple parameters are evaluated iteratively, which is computationally expensive. We present a reduced basis metho ...

Revealing higher-order light and matter energy exchanges using quantum trajectories in ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

The dynamics of open quantum systems is often modeled using master equations, which describe the expected outcome of an experiment (i.e., the average over many realizations of the same dynamics). Quantum trajectories, instead, model the outcome of ideal si ...
