Non-Markovian decoherence in the adiabatic quantum search algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We consider an adiabatic quantum algorithm (Grover's search routine) weakly coupled to a rather general environment, i.e., without using the Markov approximation.

Quantum State Smoothing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Smoothing is an estimation method whereby a classical state (probability distribution for classical variables) at a given time is conditioned on all-time (both past and future) observations.

Loss of coherence in double-slit diffraction experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
7 págs.; 3 figs.; PACS numberssd: 03.65.Yz, 03.65.Ta, 03.75.DgThe effects of incoherence and decoherence in a double-slit experiment are studied using both optical and quantum-phenomenological models.

Connection between decoherence and excited state quantum phase transitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this work we explore the relationship between an excited state quantum phase transition (ESQPT) and the phenomenon of quantum decoherence. For this purpose, we study how the decoherence is affected by the presence of a continuous ESQPT in the ...

Quantum jumps are more quantum than quantum diffusion

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
It was recently argued (Wiseman and Gambetta 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.220402 108 http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.220402 ) that the stochastic dynamics (jumps or diffusion) of an open quantum system are not

Sequential measurements of non-commuting observables with quantum controlled interactions

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
The origin of non-classical correlations is difficult to identify since the uncertainty principle requires that information obtained about one observable invariably results in the disturbance of any other non-commuting observable.

Generating and protecting correlated quantum states under collective dephasing

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
We study the collective dephasing process of a system of non-interacting atomic qubits, immersed in a spatially uniform magnetic field of fluctuating intensity.

Dynamical decoupling leads to improved scaling in noisy quantum metrology

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
We consider the usage of dynamical decoupling in quantum metrology, where the joint evolution of system plus environment is described by a Hamiltonian. We show that by ultra-fast unitary control operations acting locally only on system qubits, noise can ...

Disturbance-based measure of macroscopic coherence

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2017
We propose a measure of macroscopic coherence based on the degree of disturbance caused by a coarse-grained measurement. Based on our measure, we point out that recently proposed criteria of macroscopic coherence may lead to inconsistent results when ...

Qubit state tomography in a superconducting circuit via weak measurements

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2017
In this work we present a study on a new scheme for measuring the qubit state in a circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) system, based on weak measurement and the concept of weak value. To be applicable under generic parameter conditions, our formulation
