Symmetry enhanced boundary qubits at infinite temperature

Jack Kemp, Norman Y. Yao, Chris R. Laumann

The symmetry protected topological (SPT) phase hosts a robust boundary qubit at zero temperature. At finite energy density, the SPT phase is dest…

Existence of a Spectral Gap in the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki Model on the Hexagonal Lattice

Marius Lemm, Anders W. Sandvik, Ling Wang

The Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) quantum spin chain was the first rigorous example of an isotropic spin system in the Haldane phase. The conjecture that the AKL…

Do Rydberg chains yield Fibonacci anyons?

Anushya Chandran, Fiona J. Burnell, Shivaji L. Sondhi

Recent experiments have focused attention on the properties of chains of atoms in which the atoms are either in their ground states or in highly excited Rydberg states which block…

Continuum Limits of the 1D Discrete Time Quantum Walk

Michael Manighalam, Mark Kon

The discrete time quantum walk (DTQW) is a universal quantum computational model. Significant relationships between discrete and corresponding continuous quantum systems have been…

Directionally-Unbiased Unitary Optical Devices in Discrete-Time Quantum Walks

Shuto Osawa, David S. Simon, Alexander V. Sergienko

The optical beam splitter is a widely-used device in photonics-based quantum information processing. Specifically, linear optical networks demand large numbers of beam splitters fo…

Scaling and diabatic effects in quantum annealing with a D-Wave device

Phillip Weinberg, Marek Tylutki, Jami M. Rönkkö +5

We discuss quantum annealing of the two-dimensional transverse-field Ising model on a D-Wave device, encoded on lattices with . Analyzing the residual energy…

Attractors and asymptotic dynamics of open discrete-time quantum walks on cycles

Adam S. Sajna, Tomasz P. Polak, Antoni Wojcik +1

Open quantum walks often lead to a classical asymptotic behavior. Here, we look for a simple open quantum walk whose asymptotic behavior can be non-classical. We consider a discret…

Absorption Probabilities of Quantum Walks

Parker Kuklinski, Mark Kon

Quantum walks are known to have nontrivial interaction with absorbing boundaries. In particular, Ambainis et.\ al.\ \cite{ambainis01} showed that in the quantum walk…

Bifurcation Curves of Two-Dimensional Quantum Walks

Parker Kuklinski, Mark Kon

The quantum walk differs fundamentally from the classical random walk in a number of ways, including its linear spreading and initial condition dependent asymmetries. Using station…

Floquet-engineering counterdiabatic protocols in quantum many-body systems

Pieter W. Claeys, Mohit Pandey, Dries Sels +1

Counterdiabatic (CD) driving presents a way of generating adiabatic dynamics at arbitrary pace, where excitations due to non-adiabaticity are exactly compensated by adding an auxil…

The AKLT model on a hexagonal chain is gapped

Marius Lemm, Anders Sandvik, Sibin Yang

In 1987, Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb, and Tasaki introduced the AKLT spin chain and proved that it has a spectral gap above the ground state. Their concurrent conjecture that the two-di…

Enhancement of superluminal weak values under Lorentz boost

Abhishek Som, Sourin Das

We study the local group velocity defined as the weak value of the velocity operator in the (1+1) dimensional Klein-Gordon as well as Dirac theory. It was shown by Berry [ J. Phys.…

Swift heat transfer by fast-forward driving in open quantum systems

Tamiro Villazon, Anatoli Polkovnikov, Anushya Chandran

Typically, time-dependent thermodynamic protocols need to run asymptotically slowly in order to avoid dissipative losses. By adapting ideas from counter-diabatic driving and Floque…
