Quantum energetics of a non-commuting measurement

Xiayu Linpeng, Nicolò Piccione, Maria Maffei +5

When a measurement observable does not commute with a quantum system's Hamiltonian, the energy of the measured system is typically not conserved during the measurement. Instead, en…

Production of entangled x rays through nonlinear double Compton scattering

T. D. C. de Vos, J. J. Postema, B. H. Schaap +2

An accessible tabletop source for the production of entangled x rays is crucial for the field of high-energy quantum optics. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the entanglemen…

Fundamental mechanisms of energy exchanges in autonomous measurements based on dispersive qubit-light interaction

Nicolò Piccione, Maria Maffei, Xiayu Linpeng +3

Measuring an observable which does not commute with the Hamiltonian of a quantum system usually modifies the mean energy of this system. In an autonomous measurement scheme, coupli…

First Passage Times for Continuous Quantum Measurement Currents

Michael J. Kewming, Anthony Kiely, Steve Campbell +1

The First Passage Time (FPT) is the time taken for a stochastic process to reach a desired threshold. In this letter we address the FPT of the stochastic measurement current in the…

A quantum Stirling heat engine operating in finite time

Debmalya Das, George Thomas, Andrew N. Jordan

In a quantum Stirling heat engine, the heat exchanged with two thermal baths is partly utilized for performing work by redistributing the energy levels of the working substance. We…

Probabilistic Unitary Formulation of Open Quantum System Dynamics

Le Hu, Andrew N. Jordan

We show that all non-relativistic quantum processes, whether open or closed, are either unitary or probabilistic unitary, i.e., probabilistic combination of unitary evolutions. Thi…

Free Energy of Coupled Oscillators: Lamb Shifts and van der Waals Interactions

Peter W. Milonni

The Helmholtz free energy of oscillators in thermal equilibrium with electromagnetic radiation is obtained from the Pauli-Hellmann-Feynman theorem and applied to some aspects of La…

Asymptotic expansions for field moments of bound states

G. W. Forbes, Miguel A. Alonso

Asymptotic expansions are presented for the moments of bound states in one-dimensional anharmonic potentials. The results are derived by using the SAFE method and include only the…

Non-Abelian transport distinguishes three usually equivalent notions of entropy production

Twesh Upadhyaya, William F. Braasch, Gabriel T. Landi +1

We extend entropy production to a deeply quantum regime involving noncommuting conserved quantities. Consider a unitary transporting conserved quantities ("charges") between two sy…

Reservoir-Free Decoherence in Flying Qubits

Nicolò Piccione, Léa Bresque, Andrew N. Jordan +2

An effective time-dependent Hamiltonian can be implemented by making a quantum system fly through an inhomogeneous potential, realizing, for example, a quantum gate on its internal…

Multipartite Entanglement: A Journey Through Geometry

Songbo Xie, Daniel Younis, Yuhan Mei +1

Genuine multipartite entanglement is crucial for quantum information and related technologies but quantifying it has been a long-standing challenge. Most proposed measures do not m…

Gillespie algorithm for quantum jump trajectories

Marco Radaelli, Gabriel T. Landi, Felix C. Binder

The jump unravelling of a quantum master equation decomposes the dynamics of an open quantum system into abrupt jumps, interspersed by periods of coherent dynamics when no jumps oc…

Current fluctuations in open quantum systems: Bridging the gap between quantum continuous measurements and full counting statistics

Gabriel T. Landi, Michael J. Kewming, Mark T. Mitchison +1

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form of a stochastic and correlated time series which conveys crucial information about the und…

Two-point measurement energy statistics from particle scattering

Samuel L. Jacob, Gabriel T. Landi, Massimiliano Esposito +1

We show that the energy statistics resulting from a two-point measurement of an isolated quantum system subject to a time-dependent driving protocol can be probed by subjecting the…

Describing the Wave Function Collapse Process with a State-dependent Hamiltonian

Le Hu, Andrew N. Jordan

It is well-known that quantum mechanics admits two distinct evolutions: the unitary evolution, which is deterministic and well described by the Schrödinger equation, and the collap…
