Detection of Molecular Transitions with Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers and Electron-Spin Labels
C. Munuera-Javaloy, R. Puebla, B. D'Anjou +2
We present a protocol that detects molecular conformational changes with two nitroxide electron-spin labels and a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. More specifically, we dem…
Critical Quantum Metrology with Fully-Connected Models: From Heisenberg to Kibble-Zurek Scaling
Louis Garbe, Obinna Abah, Simone Felicetti +1
Phase transitions represent a compelling tool for classical and quantum sensing applications. It has been demonstrated that quantum sensors can in principle saturate the Heisenberg…
Universal deterministic quantum operations in microwave quantum links
Guillermo F. Peñas, Ricardo Puebla, Tomás Ramos +2
We propose a realistic setup, inspired by already existing experiments, within which we develop a general formalism for the implementation of distributed quantum gates. Mediated by…
Open Quantum Rotors: Connecting Correlations and Physical Currents
Ricardo Puebla, Alberto Imparato, Alessio Belenchia +1
We consider a finite one-dimensional chain of quantum rotors interacting with a set of thermal baths at different temperatures. When the interaction between the rotors is made chir…
Harnessing non-adiabatic excitations promoted by a quantum critical point
Obinna Abah, Gabriele De Chiara, Mauro Paternostro +1
Crossing a quantum critical point in finite time challenges the adiabatic condition due to the closing of the energy gap, which ultimately results in the formation of excitations.…
Dynamical decoupling methods in nanoscale NMR
C. Munuera-Javaloy, R. Puebla, J. Casanova
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) schemes can be applied to micron-, and nanometer-sized samples by the aid of quantum sensors such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond…
Work statistics and symmetry breaking in an excited state quantum phase transition
Zakaria Mzaouali, Ricardo Puebla, John Goold +2
We examine how the presence of an excited state quantum phase transition manifests in the dynamics of a many-body system subject to a sudden quench. Focusing on the Lipkin-Meshkov-…
