Superradiant many-qubit absorption refrigerator

Michal Kloc, Kurt Meier, Kimon Hadjikyriakos +1

We show that the lower levels of a large-spin network with a collective anti-ferromagnetic interaction and collective couplings to three reservoirs may function as a quantum absorp…

Control of Stochastic Quantum Dynamics by Differentiable Programming

Frank Schäfer, Pavel Sekatski, Martin Koppenhöfer +2

Control of the stochastic dynamics of a quantum system is indispensable in fields such as quantum information processing and metrology. However, there is no general ready-made appr…

Excited-state quantum phase transitions

Pavel Cejnar, Pavel Stránský, Michal Macek +1

We review the effects of excited-state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) in interacting many-body systems with finite numbers of collective degrees of freedom. We classify typical…

Quasiclassical approach to quantum quench dynamics in the presence of an excited-state quantum phase transition

Michal Kloc, Daniel Šimsa, Filip Hanák +3

The dynamics of a quantum system following a sudden, highly non-adiabatic change of its control parameter (quantum quench) is studied with quasiclassical techniques. Recent works h…

A differentiable programming method for quantum control

Frank Schäfer, Michal Kloc, Christoph Bruder +1

Optimal control is highly desirable in many current quantum systems, especially to realize tasks in quantum information processing. We introduce a method based on differentiable pr…

Complex density of continuum states in resonant quantum tunneling

Pavel Stránský, Milan Šindelka, Michal Kloc +1

We introduce a complex-extended continuum level density and apply it to one-dimensional scattering problems involving tunneling through finite-range potentials. We show that the re…

Collective performance of a finite-time quantum Otto cycle

Michal Kloc, Pavel Cejnar, Gernot Schaller

We study the finite-time effects in a quantum Otto cycle where a collective spin system is used as the working fluid. Starting from a simple one-qubit system we analyze the transit…

Quantum quench dynamics in Dicke superradiance models

Michal Kloc, Pavel Stránský, Pavel Cejnar

We study the quantum quench dynamics in an extended version of the Dicke model where an additional parameter allows a smooth transition to the integrable Tavis-Cummings regime. We…

Monodromy in Dicke superradiance

Michal Kloc, Pavel Stránský, Pavel Cejnar

We study the focus-focus type of monodromy in an integrable version of the Dicke model. Classical orbits forming a pinched torus represent analogues of the dynamic superradiance un…

Quantum phases and entanglement properties of an extended Dicke model

Michal Kloc, Pavel Stransky, Pavel Cejnar

We study a simple model describing superradiance in a system of two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode bosonic field. The model permits a continuous crossover between integ…
