Reply to 'Comment on "Ideal clocks -- a convenient fiction"'

Krzysztof Lorek, Jorma Louko, Andrzej Dragan

For a quantum scalar field that is confined in a uniformly linearly accelerated cavity in Minkowski spacetime and interacts linearly with a scalar field that is not confined in the…

Mesoscopic scattering dynamics under generic uniform SU(2) gauge fields: Spin-momentum relaxation and coherent backscattering

Masataka Kakoi, Christian Miniatura, Keith Slevin

We investigate the time- and momentum-resolved dynamics of matter waves undergoing elastic scattering from a disordered potential in the presence of spatially uniform SU(2) gauge f…

Numerically Optimizing Shortcuts to Adiabaticity: A Hybrid Control Strategy

Bo Xing, Jesús G. Parejo, Sofía Martínez-Garaot +2

Achieving fast, excitation-free quantum control is a vital challenge in modern quantum technologies. In many cases, shortcuts to adiabaticity enable fast adiabatic-like protocols,…

Elucidating magnetic structure with optical dopants: erbium-doped GdSiO

Luke S. Trainor, Masaya Hiraishi, J. -R. Soh +1

The narrowness of the optical transitions of rare-earth-ion dopants makes them highly sensitive probes of their environment. We measured the optical transitions Er dopants t…
