Frozen Quantum Coherence

Thomas R. Bromley, Marco Cianciaruso, Gerardo Adesso

We analyse under which dynamical conditions the coherence of an open quantum system is totally unaffected by noise. For a single qubit, specific measures of coherence are found to…

Apparatus for measuring the thermal Casimir force at large distances

Giuseppe Bimonte

We describe a Casimir apparatus based on a differential force measurement between a Au-coated sphere and a planar slab divided in two regions, one of which is made of high-resistiv…

Interplay of curvature and temperature in the Casimir-Polder interaction

Giuseppe Bimonte, Thorsten Emig

We study the Casimir-Polder interaction at finite temperatures between a polarizable small, anisotropic particle and a non-planar surface using a derivative expansion. We obtain th…

Simulating long-distance entanglement in quantum spin chains by superconducting flux qubits

Stefano Zippilli, Miroslav Grajcar, Evgeni Il'ichev +1

We investigate the performance of superconducting flux qubits for the adiabatic quantum simulation of long distance entanglement (LDE), namely a finite ground-state entanglement be…

A robust superconducting setup to probe the thermal Casimir effect

Giuseppe Bimonte

We describe a superconducting Casimir apparatus inspired by a recently proposed setup involving magnetic surfaces [G. Bimonte, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 112}, 240401 (2014)]. The prese…

Casimir-Polder interaction for gently curved surfaces

Giuseppe Bimonte, Thorsten Emig, Mehran Kardar

We use a derivative expansion for gently curved surfaces to compute the leading and the next-to-leading curvature corrections to the Casimir-Polder interaction between a polarizabl…

A model of a quantum particle in a quantum environment: a numerical study

R. Carlone, R. Figari, C. Negulescu

We define and investigate, via numerical analysis, a one dimensional toy-model of a cloud chamber. An energetic quantum particle, whose initial state is a superposition of two iden…

Device-independent quantum reading and noise-assisted quantum transmitters

Wojciech Roga, Daniela Buono, Fabrizio Illuminati

In quantum reading, a quantum state of light (transmitter) is applied to read classical information. In the presence of noise or for sufficiently weak signals, quantum reading can…

Quantum walks and wavepacket dynamics on a lattice with twisted photons

Filippo Cardano, Francesco Massa, Hammam Qassim +8

The "quantum walk" has emerged recently as a paradigmatic process for the dynamic simulation of complex quantum systems, entanglement production and quantum computation. Hitherto,…

Generation of tunable entanglement and violation of a Bell-like inequality between different degrees of freedom of a single photon

Adam Valles, Vincenzo D'Ambrosio, Martin Hendrych +4

We demonstrate a scheme to generate noncoherent and coherent correlations, i.e., a tunable degree of entanglement, between degrees of freedom of a single photon. Its nature is anal…

Hardy's paradox tested in the spin-orbit Hilbert space of single photons

Ebrahim Karimi, Filippo Cardano, Maria Maffei +4

We test experimentally the quantum ``paradox'' proposed by Lucien Hardy in 1993 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1665 (1993)] by using single photons instead of photon pairs. This is achieved…

Photonic quantum walk in a single beam with twisted light

Filippo Cardano, Francesco Massa, Ebrahim Karimi +6

Inspired by the classical phenomenon of random walk, the concept of quantum walk has emerged recently as a powerful platform for the dynamical simulation of complex quantum systems…

Hide it to see it better: a robust setup to probe the thermal Casimir effect

Giuseppe Bimonte

We describe a Casimir setup consisting of two aligned sinusoidally corrugated Ni surfaces, one of which is "hidden" by a thin opaque layer of gold with a flat exposed surface. The…
