Universal locality of quantum thermal susceptibility

Giacomo De Palma, Antonella De Pasquale, Vittorio Giovannetti

The ultimate precision of any measurement of the temperature of a quantum system is the inverse of the local quantum thermal susceptibility [De Pasquale et al., Nature Communicatio…

Topological phases of parafermions: a model with exactly-solvable ground states

Fernando Iemini, Christophe Mora, Leonardo Mazza

Parafermions are emergent excitations that generalize Majorana fermions and can also realize topological order. In this paper we present a non-trivial and quasi-exactly-solvable mo…

Gaussian states minimize the output entropy of one-mode quantum Gaussian channels

Giacomo De Palma, Dario Trevisan, Vittorio Giovannetti

We prove the longstanding conjecture stating that Gaussian thermal input states minimize the output von Neumann entropy of one-mode phase-covariant quantum Gaussian channels among…

Thermodynamics of quantum information scrambling

Michele Campisi, John Goold

Scrambling of quantum information can be conveniently quantified by so called out-of-time-order-correlators (OTOCs), whose measurements presents a formidable experimental challenge…

Critical behavior of dissipative two-dimensional spin lattices

R. Rota, F. Storme, N. Bartolo +2

We explore critical properties of two-dimensional lattices of spins interacting via an anisotropic Heisenberg Hamiltonian and subject to incoherent spin flips. We determine the ste…

Perfect energy-feeding into strongly coupled systems and interferometric control of polariton absorption

Simone Zanotto, Francesco P. Mezzapesa, Federica Bianco +6

The ability to feed energy into a system, or - equivalently - to drive that system with an external input is a fundamental aspect of light-matter interaction. The key concept in ma…

Gaussian States Minimize the Output Entropy of the One-Mode Quantum Attenuator

Giacomo De Palma, Dario Trevisan, Vittorio Giovannetti

We prove that Gaussian thermal input states minimize the output von Neumann entropy of the one-mode Gaussian quantum-limited attenuator for fixed input entropy. The Gaussian quantu…

Optimal processes for probabilistic work extraction beyond the second law

Vasco Cavina, Andrea Mari, Vittorio Giovannetti

According to the second law of thermodynamics, for every transformation performed on a system which is in contact with an environment of fixed temperature, the extracted work is bo…

Cut-and-paste restoration of entanglement transmission

Alvaro Cuevas, Andrea Mari, Antonella De Pasquale +5

The distribution of entangled quantum systems among two or more nodes of a network is a key task at the basis of quantum communication, quantum computation and quantum cryptography…

Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis and Quantum Jarzynski Relation for Pure Initial States

F. Jin, R. Steinigeweg, H. De Raedt +3

Since the first suggestion of the Jarzynski equality many derivations of this equality have been presented in both, the classical and the quantum context. While the approaches and…

Passive states as optimal inputs for single-jump lossy quantum channels

Giacomo De Palma, Andrea Mari, Seth Lloyd +1

The passive states of a quantum system minimize the average energy among all the states with a given spectrum. We prove that passive states are the optimal inputs of single-jump lo…

Entanglement entropy in a periodically driven Ising chain

Angelo Russomanno, Giuseppe E. Santoro, Rosario Fazio

In this work we study the entanglement entropy of a uniform quantum Ising chain in transverse field undergoing a periodic driving of period . By means of Floquet theory we show…

Coherent-state discrimination via non-heralded probabilistic amplification

Matteo Rosati, Andrea Mari, Vittorio Giovannetti

A scheme for the detection of low-intensity optical coherent signals was studied which uses a probabilistic amplifier operated in the non-heralded version, as the underlying non-li…

Universal Control Induced by Noise

Christian Arenz, Daniel Burgarth, Paolo Facchi +4

On the basis of the quantum Zeno effect it has been recently shown [D. K. Burgarth et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 5173 (2014)] that a strong amplitude damping process applied locally on a…
