Temperature of the three-state quantum walk

Luisa Toledo Tude, Marcos C. de Oliveira

Despite the coined quantum walk being a closed quantum system under a unitary evolution, its Hilbert space can be divided in two sub-spaces, which makes it possible for one to anal…

Quantum Darwinism and the spreading of classical information in non-classical theories

Roberto D. Baldijao, Marius Krumm, Andrew J. P. Garner +1

Quantum Darwinism posits that the emergence of a classical reality relies on the spreading of classical information from a quantum system to many parts of its environment. But what…

Unravelling the non-classicality role in Gaussian heat engines

A. de Oliveira Junior, M. C de Oliveira

At the heart of quantum thermodynamics lies a fundamental question about what is genuine "quantum" in quantum heat engines and how to seek this quantumness, so that thermodynamical…

Spectral Broadening and Ultrafast Dynamics of a Nitrogen-Vacancy Center Ensemble in Diamond

Albert Liu, Steven T. Cundiff, Diogo B. Almeida +1

Many applications of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond crucially rely on a spectrally narrow and stable optical zero-phonon line transition. Though many impressive proof-of-…

Evolution of the quantized field coupled to a thermal bath: a phase space approach

E. P. Mattos, A. Vidiella-Barranco

We present an alternative method for describing the evolution of a mode of the quantized electromagnetic field in contact with a finite temperature thermal bath. We use the expansi…

The quaternionic Goos-Haenchen shift

Stefano De Leo, Gisele C. Ducati

We investigate the lateral displacement of electronic waves when partially and totally reflected by a quaternionic potential. Following the analogy between Quantum Mechanics and Op…

Information scrambling vs. decoherence -- two competing sinks for entropy

Akram Touil, Sebastian Deffner

A possible solution of the information paradox can be sought in quantum information scrambling. In this paradigm, it is postulated that all information entering a black hole is rap…

Spin-orbit implementation of Solovay-Kitaev decomposition of single-qubit channels

M. H. M. Passos, A. de Oliveira Junior, M. C. de Oliveira +2

The Solovay-Kitaev theorem allows us to approximate any single-qubit gate to arbitrary accuracy with a finite sequence of fundamental operations from a universal set of gates. Insp…

Sudden death of entanglement induced by a minimal thermal environment

G. L. Deçordi, A. Vidiella-Barranco

We study the dynamics of two interacting two-level systems (qubits) having one of them isolated and the other coupled to a single mode electromagnetic field in a thermal state. The…

Bell Non-Locality in Many Body Quantum Systems with Exponential Decay of Correlations

Carlos H. S. Vieira, Cristhiano Duarte, Raphael C. Drumond +1

Using Bell-inequalities as a tool to explore non-classical physical behaviours, in this paper we analyze what one can expect to find in many-body quantum physics. Concretely, frami…

Wave-particle duality using the Compton effect

Lucas S. Pollyceno, A. D. Ribeiro

Thought experiments based on the double-slit interferometer had a crucial role to develop ideas concerning the wave-particle duality and the Bohr's complementarity principle. Ideal…

Proposal for optomechanical quantum teleportation

Jie Li, Andreas Wallucks, Rodrigo Benevides +4

We present a novel discrete-variable quantum teleportation scheme using pulsed optomechanics. In our proposal, we demonstrate how an unknown optical input state can be transferred…

Theory of Neutrino Detection -- Flavor Oscillations and Weak Values

Yago P. Porto-Silva, Marcos C. de Oliveira

We show that, in the relativistic limit, the quantum theory of neutrino oscillations can be described through the theory of weak measurements with pre and post-selection. The weak…

Correlation Redistribution by Causal Horizons

L. Pipolo de Gioia, M. C. de Oliveira

The Minkowski vacuum , which for an inertial observer is devoid of particles, is treated as a thermal bath by Rindler observers living in a single Rindler wedge, as a…
