Negative quasiprobabilities enhance phase estimation in quantum-optics experiment

Noah B. Lupu-Gladstein, Batuhan Y. Yilmaz, David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur +4

Operator noncommutation, a hallmark of quantum theory, limits measurement precision, according to uncertainty principles. Wielded correctly, though, noncommutation can boost precis…

Resource theory of quantum uncomplexity

Nicole Yunger Halpern, Naga B. T. Kothakonda, Jonas Haferkamp +3

Quantum complexity is emerging as a key property of many-body systems, including black holes, topological materials, and early quantum computers. A state's complexity quantifies th…

Absolutely stable time crystals at finite temperature

Francisco Machado, Quntao Zhuang, Norman Y. Yao +1

We show that locally-interacting, periodically-driven (Floquet) Hamiltonian dynamics coupled to a Langevin bath support finite-temperature discrete time crystals (DTC) with an infi…

Photon control and coherent interactions via lattice dark states in atomic arrays

Oriol Rubies-Bigorda, Valentin Walther, Taylor L. Patti +1

Ordered atomic arrays with subwavelength spacing have emerged as an efficient and versatile light-matter interface, where emitters respond collectively and form subradiant lattice…

High-precision mapping of diamond crystal strain using quantum interferometry

Mason C. Marshall, Reza Ebadi, Connor Hart +4

Crystal strain variation imposes significant limitations on many quantum sensing and information applications for solid-state defect qubits in diamond. Thus, precision measurement…

Linear growth of quantum circuit complexity

Jonas Haferkamp, Philippe Faist, Naga B. T. Kothakonda +2

Quantifying quantum states' complexity is a key problem in various subfields of science, from quantum computing to black-hole physics. We prove a prominent conjecture by Brown and…

Correlated many-body noise and emergent behavior in an anharmonic fluctuator model

P N Thomas Lloyd, Valentin Walther, Hossein Sadeghpour

Fluctuating electric fields emanating from surfaces are a primary source of decoherence in trapped ion qubits. Here, we show that superradiant phonon-induced excitation exchange be…

How to build Hamiltonians that transport noncommuting charges in quantum thermodynamics

Nicole Yunger Halpern, Shayan Majidy

Noncommuting conserved quantities have recently launched a subfield of quantum thermodynamics. In conventional thermodynamics, a system of interest and an environment exchange quan…

Photon-photon interactions in Rydberg-atom arrays

Lida Zhang, Valentin Walther, Klaus Mølmer +1

We investigate the interaction of weak light fields with two-dimensional lattices of atoms, in which two-photon coupling establishes conditions of electromagnetically induced trans…
