Magnon Superlattices around Skyrmions in Frustrated Magnets

Adarsh Hullahalli, Christos Panagopoulos, Christina Psaroudaki

Dynamic and stable magnetic textures offer a powerful platform for controlling magnon states in the broader context of spin electronics. In this work, we uncover a novel class of d…

Harnessing spin-qubit decoherence to probe strongly-interacting quantum systems

Marcin Płodzień, Sambunath Das, Maciej Lewenstein +2

Extracting information from quantum many-body systems remains a key challenge in quantum technologies due to experimental limitations. In this work, we employ a single spin qubit t…

Skyrmion Qubits: Challenges For Future Quantum Computing Applications

Christina Psaroudaki, Elias Peraticos, Christos Panagopoulos

Magnetic nano-skyrmions develop quantized helicity excitations, and the quantum tunneling between nano-skyrmions possessing distinct helicities is indicative of the quantum nature…

Energy Transfer in Random-Matrix ensembles of Floquet Hamiltonians

Christina Psaroudaki, Gil Refael

We explore the statistical properties of energy transfer in ensembles of doubly-driven Random- Matrix Floquet Hamiltonians, based on universal symmetry arguments. The energy pumpin…

Photon pumping in a weakly-driven quantum cavity-spin system

Christina Psaroudaki, Gil Refael

We investigate the photon pumping effect in a topological model consisting of a periodically driven spin-1/2 coupled to a quantum cavity mode out of the adiabatic limit. In the str…
