High extraction efficiency source of photon pairs based on a quantum dot embedded in a broadband micropillar cavity

Laia Ginés, Magdalena Moczała-Dusanowska, David Dlaka +9

The generation of photon pairs in single quantum dots is based on a process that is, in its nature, deterministic. However, an efficient extraction of these photon pairs from a hig…

Extensions of the Mandelstam-Tamm quantum speed limit to systems in mixed states

Niklas Hörnedal, Dan Allan, Ole Sönnerborn

The Mandelstam-Tamm quantum speed limit puts a bound on how fast a closed system in a pure state can evolve. In this paper, we derive several extensions of this quantum speed limit…

Operational models of temperature superpositions

Carolyn E. Wood, Harshit Verma, Fabio Costa +1

A quantum system and a thermal bath can reach thermal equilibrium through an interaction, whereupon the system acquires the same temperature as the bath. But how does a delocalised…

Enhancing self-discharging process with disordered quantum batteries

Mohammad B. Arjmandi, Hamidreza Mohammadi, Alan C. Santos

One of the most important devices emerging from quantum technology are quantum batteries. However, self-discharging, the process of charge wasting of quantum batteries due to decoh…

Many-body probes for quantum features of spacetime

Hadrien Chevalier, Hyukjoon Kwon, Kiran E. Khosla +2

Many theories of quantum gravity can be understood as imposing a minimum length scale the signatures of which can potentially be seen in precise table top experiments. In this work…
