Mutual information as an order parameter for quantum synchronization

V. Ameri, M. Eghbali-Arani, A. Mari +4

Spontaneous synchronization is a fundamental phenomenon, important in many theoretical studies and applications. Recently this effect has been analyzed and observed in a number of…

Hamiltonian Purification

Davide Orsucci, Daniel Burgarth, Paolo Facchi +4

The problem of Hamiltonian purification introduced by Burgarth et al. [D. K. Burgarth et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 5173 (2014)] is formalized and discussed. Specifically, given a set of…

All-optical non-Markovian stroboscopic quantum simulator

Jiasen Jin, Vittorio Giovannetti, Rosario Fazio +4

An all-optical scheme for simulating non-Markovian evolution of a quantum system is proposed. It uses only linear optics elements and by controlling the system parameters allows on…

Entanglement-Breaking Indices

Ludovico Lami, Vittorio Giovannetti

We study a set of new functionals (called entanglement--breaking indices) which characterize how many local iterations of a given (local) quantum channel are needed in order to com…

A Perturbative Approach to Continuous-Time Quantum Error Correction

Matteo Ippoliti, Leonardo Mazza, Matteo Rizzi +1

We present a novel discussion of the continuous-time quantum error correction introduced by Paz and Zurek in 1998 [Paz and Zurek, Proc. R. Soc. A 454, 355 (1998)]. We study the gen…

On the time optimal thermalization of single mode Gaussian states

Alberto Carlini, Andrea Mari, Vittorio Giovannetti

We consider the problem of time optimal control of a continuous bosonic quantum system subject to the action of a Markovian dissipation. In particular, we consider the case of a on…

Quantum optomechanical piston engines powered by heat

Andrea Mari, Alessandro Farace, Vittorio Giovannetti

We study two different models of optomechanical systems where a temperature gradient between two radiation baths is exploited for inducing self-sustained coherent oscillations of a…

Majorization and additivity for multimode bosonic Gaussian channels

V. Giovannetti, A. S. Holevo, A. Mari

Recently, the longstanding Gaussian optimizer conjecture was proven for bosonic Gaussian gauge-covariant or contravariant channels in the work of Giovannetti, Holevo and Garcia-Pat…

General-dyne unravelling of a thermal master equation

Marco G. Genoni, Stefano Mancini, Alessio Serafini

We analyse the unravelling of the quantum optical master equation at finite temperature due to direct, continuous, general-dyne detection of the environment. We first express the g…

Steady-state phase diagram of a driven QED-cavity array with cross-Kerr nonlinearities

Jiasen Jin, Davide Rossini, Martin Leib +2

We study the properties of an array of QED-cavities coupled by nonlinear elements in the presence of photon leakage and driven by a coherent source. The main effect of the nonlinea…

Assessing the non-equilibrium thermodynamics in a quenched quantum many-body system via single projective measurements

L. Fusco, S. Pigeon, T. J. G. Apollaro +6

We analyse the nature of the statistics of the work done on or by a quantum many-body system brought out of equilibrium. We show that, for the sudden quench and for an initial stat…

Entanglement Typicality

Oscar C. O. Dahlsten, Cosmo Lupo, Stefano Mancini +1

We provide a summary of both seminal and recent results on typical entanglement. By typical values of entanglement, we refer here to values of entanglement quantifiers that (given…

Geometric quantum pumping in the presence of dissipation

Juzar Thingna, Peter Hänggi, Rosario Fazio +1

The charge transported when a quantum pump is adiabatically driven by time-dependent external forces in presence of dissipation is given by the line integral of a pumping field $\m…

Discriminating Strength: a bona fide measure of non-classical correlations

A. Farace, A. De Pasquale, L. Rigovacca +1

A new measure of non-classical correlations is introduced and characterized. It tests the ability of using a state ρ of a composite system AB as a probe for a quantum illumination…

A generalization of the Entropy Power Inequality to Bosonic Quantum Systems

Giacomo De Palma, Andrea Mari, Vittorio Giovannetti

In most communication schemes information is transmitted via travelling modes of electromagnetic radiation. These modes are unavoidably subject to environmental noise along any phy…
