Depth Determination of Individual Shallow NV-Centers via Spin-Lock NMR
Aaron Daniel, Beat Bürgler, Patrick Maletinsky +1
Quantitative quantum sensing with shallow electron spins, such as those hosted by nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, requires accurate knowledge of the spin's depth below th…
Active Quantum Reservoir Engineering: Using a Qubit to Manipulate its Environment
Marcelo Janovitch, Matteo Brunelli, Patrick P. Potts
Quantum reservoir engineering leverages dissipative processes to achieve desired behavior, with applications ranging from entanglement generation to quantum error correction. There…
Quantum theory of a three-photon Kerr parametric oscillator
Alessandro Bruno, Patrick P. Potts, Alexander Grimm +1
We investigate the quantum properties of a nonlinear Kerr oscillator driven by a three-photon pump. We derive both exact and approximate analytical expressions for the ground state…
A Quantum Mechanical Pendulum Clock
Matteo Brunelli, Mohammad Mehboudi, Nicolas Brunner +1
We investigate an optomechanical system as a model of an autonomous mechanical pendulum clock in the quantum regime, whose operation relies only on incoherent (thermal) resources.…
Path Integral Approach to Input-Output Theory
Aaron Daniel, Matteo Brunelli, Aashish A. Clerk +1
Input-output theory is a well-known tool in quantum optics and ubiquitous in the description of quantum systems probed by light. Owing to the generality of the setup it describes,…
Quantum Thermodynamics
Patrick P. Potts
The theory of quantum thermodynamics investigates how the concepts of heat, work, and temperature can be carried over to the quantum realm, where fluctuations and randomness are fu…
