Supermartingales in Quantum Resources Theories: Where do quantum resources go when you're watching?
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Robert L. Jack
We establish a connection between quantum resource theory and probability theory, under repeated application of free operations. We show that strong monotonicity of a resource meas…
Weak unitary symmetries of open quantum dynamics: beyond quantum master equations
Calum A. Brown, Robert L. Jack, Katarzyna Macieszczak
We consider Markovian open quantum dynamics with weak unitary symmetries. Starting from the quantum master equation for the system alone, it is known that the joint dynamics of the…
Gauge freedoms in unravelled quantum dynamics: When do different continuous measurements yield identical quantum trajectories?
Calum A. Brown, Katarzyna Macieszczak, Robert L. Jack
Quantum trajectories of a Markovian open quantum system arise from the back-action of measurements performed in the environment with which the system interacts. In this work, we co…
Unravelling Metastable Markovian Open Quantum Systems
Calum A. Brown, Katarzyna Macieszczak, Robert L. Jack
We analyse the dynamics of metastable Markovian open quantum systems by unravelling their average dynamics into stochastic trajectories. We use quantum reset processes as examples…
Metastability and quantum coherence-assisted sensing in interacting parallel quantum dots
Stephanie Matern, Katarzyna Macieszczak, Simon Wozny +1
We study the transient dynamics subject to quantum coherence effects of two interacting parallel quantum dots weakly coupled to macroscopic leads. The stationary particle current o…
Operational approach to metastability
Katarzyna Macieszczak
In this work, we introduce an information-theoretic approach for considering changes in dynamics of finitely dimensional open quantum systems governed by master equations. This exp…
Hierarchical classical metastability in an open quantum East model
Dominic C. Rose, Katarzyna Macieszczak, Igor Lesanovsky +1
We study in detail an open quantum generalisation of a classical kinetically constrained model -- the East model -- known to exhibit slow glassy dynamics stemming from a complex hi…
Quantum jump Monte Carlo simplified: Abelian symmetries
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Dominic C. Rose
We consider Markovian dynamics of a finitely dimensional open quantum system featuring a weak unitary symmetry, i.e., when the action of a unitary symmetry on the space of density…
Theory of classical metastability in open quantum systems
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Dominic C. Rose, Igor Lesanovsky +1
We present a general theory of classical metastability in open quantum systems. Metastability is a consequence of a large separation in timescales in the dynamics, leading to the e…
Dissipative quantum state preparation and metastability in two-photon micromasers
Andreas Kouzelis, Katarzyna Macieszczak, Jiří Minář +1
We study the preparation of coherent quantum states in a two-photon micromaser for applications in quantum metrology. While this setting can be in principle realized in a host of p…
Coherence, entanglement and quantumness in closed and open systems with conserved charge, with an application to many-body localisation
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Emanuele Levi, Tommaso Macrì +2
While the scaling of entanglement in a quantum system can be used to distinguish many-body quantum phases, it is usually hard to quantify the amount of entanglement in mixed states…
Non-equilibrium absorbing state phase transitions in discrete-time quantum dynamics
I. Lesanovsky, Katarzyna Macieszczak, Juan P. Garrahan
We introduce a discrete-time quantum dynamics on a two-dimensional lattice that describes the evolution of a -dimensional spin system. The underlying quantum map is constructe…
Unified thermodynamic uncertainty relations in linear response
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Kay Brandner, Juan P. Garrahan
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) are recently established relations between the relative uncertainty of time-integrated currents and entropy production in nonequilibrium…
Metastable decoherence-free subspaces and electromagnetically induced transparency in interacting many-body systems
Katarzyna Macieszczak, YanLi Zhou, Sebastian Hofferberth +3
We investigate the dynamics of a generic interacting many-body system under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). This problem is of current relevance due t…
Metastability in an open quantum Ising model
Dominic C. Rose, Katarzyna Macieszczak, Igor Lesanovsky +1
We apply a recently developed theory for metastability in open quantum systems to a one-dimensional dissipative quantum Ising model. Earlier results suggest this model features eit…
Towards a theory of metastability in open quantum dynamics
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Madalin Guta, Igor Lesanovsky +1
By generalising concepts from classical stochastic dynamics, we establish the basis for a theory of metastability in Markovian open quantum systems. Partial relaxation into long-li…
Dynamical phase transitions as a resource for quantum enhanced metrology
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Madalin Guta, Igor Lesanovsky +1
We consider the general problem of estimating an unknown control parameter of an open quantum system. We establish a direct relation between the evolution of both system and enviro…

We prove the Zeno limit of the quantum Fisher information for frequency estimation with a general initial state of two-level atoms in the presence of local non-Markov…

We derive upper bounds on the quantum Fisher information in interferometry with subsystems, e.g. two-level atoms or Gaussian modes, in the presence of arbitrarily correlated Ga…
Quantum Fisher Information: Variational principle and simple iterative algorithm for its efficient computation
Katarzyna Macieszczak
We derive a new variational principle for the quantum Fisher information leading to a simple iterative alternating algorithm, the convergence of which is proved. The case of a fixe…
Bayesian quantum frequency estimation in presence of collective dephasing
Katarzyna Macieszczak, Martin Fraas, Rafal Demkowicz-Dobrzanski
We advocate a Bayesian approach to optimal quantum frequency estimation - an important issue for future quantum enhanced atomic clock operation. The approach provides a clear insig…
