Direct observation of dynamical quantum phase transitions in an interacting many-body system

P. Jurcevic, H. Shen, P. Hauke +7

Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) extend the concept of phase transitions and thus universality to the non-equilibrium regime. In this letter, we investigate DQPTs in a s…

Uncertainty relations: An operational approach to the error-disturbance tradeoff

Joseph M. Renes, Volkher B. Scholz, Stefan Huber

The notions of error and disturbance appearing in quantum uncertainty relations are often quantified by the discrepancy of a physical quantity from its ideal value. However, these…
