Dynamical model selection near the quantum-classical boundary

Jason F. Ralph, Marko Toroš, Simon Maskell +4

We discuss a general method of model selection from experimentally recorded time-trace data. This method can be used to distinguish between quantum and classical dynamical models.…

Quantum work statistics, Loschmidt echo and information scrambling

Aurélia Chenu, Iñigo L. Egusquiza, Javier Molina-Vilaplana +1

A universal relation is established between the quantum work probability distribution of an isolated driven quantum system and the Loschmidt echo dynamics of a two-mode squeezed st…

Quantum Speed Limits Across the Quantum-to-Classical Transition

B. Shanahan, A. Chenu, N. Margolus +1

Quantum speed limits set an upper bound to the rate at which a quantum system can evolve. Adopting a phase-space approach we explore quantum speed limits across the quantum to clas…

Nonclassicality of induced coherence without induced emission

M. Lahiri, A. Hochrainer, R. Lapkiewicz +2

Interference of two beams produced at separate biphoton sources was first observed more than two decades ago. The phenomenon, often called "induced coherence without induced emissi…

Distributed Quantum Metrology and the Entangling Power of Linear Networks

Wenchao Ge, Kurt Jacobs, Zachary Eldredge +2

We derive a bound on the ability of a linear optical network to estimate a linear combination of independent phase shifts by using an arbitrary non-classical but unentangled input…

Dirac Equation in (1+1)-Dimensional Curved Spacetime and the Multiphoton Quantum Rabi Model

J. S. Pedernales, M. Beau, S. M. Pittman +4

We introduce an exact mapping between the Dirac equation in (1+1)-dimensional curved spacetime (DCS) and a multiphoton quantum Rabi model (QRM). A background of a (1+1)-dimensional…

Multi-parameter estimation along quantum trajectories with Sequential Monte Carlo methods

Jason F Ralph, Simon Maskell, Kurt Jacobs

This paper proposes an efficient method for the simultaneous estimation of the state of a quantum system and the classical parameters that govern its evolution. This hybrid approac…

Nonexponential quantum decay under environmental decoherence

M. Beau, J. Kiukas, I. L. Egusquiza +1

An unstable quantum state generally decays following an exponential law, as environmental decoherence is expected to prevent the decay products from recombining to reconstruct the…

Microwave-to-optical frequency conversion using a cesium atom coupled to a superconducting resonator

Bryan T. Gard, Kurt Jacobs, R. McDermott +1

A candidate for converting quantum information from microwave to optical frequencies is the use of a single atom that interacts with a superconducting microwave resonator on one ha…

Notwithstanding Bohr, the Reasons for QBism

Christopher A. Fuchs

Without Niels Bohr, QBism would be nothing. But QBism is not Bohr. This paper attempts to show that, despite a popular misconception, QBism is no minor tweak to Bohr's interpretati…

Integrable families of hard-core particles with unequal masses in a one-dimensional harmonic trap

N. L. Harshman, Maxim Olshanii, A. S. Dehkharghani +3

We show that the dynamics of particles in a one-dimensional harmonic trap with hard-core interactions can be solvable for certain arrangements of unequal masses. For any number of…

Negativity Bounds for Weyl-Heisenberg Quasiprobability Representations

John B. DeBrota, Christopher A. Fuchs

The appearance of negative terms in quasiprobability representations of quantum theory is known to be inevitable, and, due to its equivalence with the onset of contextuality, of ce…

The SIC Question: History and State of Play

Christopher A. Fuchs, Michael C. Hoang, Blake C. Stacey

Recent years have seen significant advances in the study of symmetric informationally complete (SIC) quantum measurements, also known as maximal sets of complex equiangular lines.…

Introducing the Qplex: A Novel Arena for Quantum Theory

Marcus Appleby, Christopher A. Fuchs, Blake C. Stacey +1

We reconstruct quantum theory starting from the premise that, as Asher Peres remarked, "Unperformed experiments have no results." The tools of modern quantum information theory, an…
