Pulse sequence design for high field NMR with NV centers in dipolarly coupled samples
Carlos Munuera-Javaloy, Ander Tobalina, Jorge Casanova
Diamond-based quantum sensors have enabled high-resolution NMR spectroscopy at the microscale in scenarios where fast molecular motion averages out dipolar interactions among targe…
Characterization of the photon emission statistics in nitrogen-vacancy centers
Iván Panadero, Hilario Espinós, Lucas Tsunaki +7
We model and experimentally demonstrate the full time-dependent counting statistics of photons emitted by a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond under non-resonant laser…
High-Resolution NMR Spectroscopy at Large Fields with Nitrogen Vacancy Centers
C. Munuera-Javaloy, A. Tobalina, J. Casanova
Ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are used as sensors to detect NMR signals from micron-sized samples at room temperature. In this scenario, the regime of large magnetic f…
Tailored Ion Beam for Precise Color Center Creation
A. Tobalina, C. Munuera-Javaloy, E. Torrontegui +2
We present a unitary quantum control scheme that produces a highly monochromatic ion beam from a Paul trap. Our protocol is implementable by supplying the segmented electrodes with…
Shortcuts to adiabatic rotation of a two-ion chain
Ander Tobalina, Juan Gonzalo Muga, Ion Lizuain +1
We inverse engineer fast rotations of a linear trap with two ions for a predetermined rotation angle and time, avoiding final excitation. Different approaches are analyzed and comp…
Invariant-based inverse engineering of time-dependent, coupled harmonic oscillators
A. Tobalina, E. Torrontegui, I. Lizuain +2
Two-dimensional systems with time-dependent controls admit a quadratic Hamiltonian modelling near potential minima. Independent, dynamical normal modes facilitate inverse Hamiltoni…
Time-dependent harmonic potentials for momentum or position scaling
J. G. Muga, S. Martínez-Garaot, M. Pons +2
Cooling methods and particle slowers as well as accelerators are basic tools for fundamental research and applications in different fields and systems. We put forward a generic mec…
Fast Route to Thermalization
Roie Dann, Ander Tobalina, Ronnie Kosloff
We present a control scheme for quantum systems coupled to a thermal bath. We demonstrate state-to-state control between two Gibbs states. This scheme can be used to accelerate the…
Vanishing efficiency of speeded-up quantum Otto engines
Ander Tobalina, Ion Lizuain, J. Gonzalo Muga
We assess the energy cost of shortcuts to adiabatic expansions or compressions of a harmonic oscillator, the power strokes of a quantum Otto engine. Difficulties to identify the co…
Fast state and trap rotation of a particle in an anisotropic potential
I. Lizuain, A. Tobalina, A. Rodriguez-Prieto +1
We study the dynamics of a quantum or classical particle in a two-dimensional rotating anisotropic harmonic potential. By a sequence of symplectic transformations for constant rota…
Shortcut to Equilibration of an Open Quantum System
Roie Dann, Ander Tobalina, Ronnie Kosloff
We present a procedure to accelerate the relaxation of an open quantum system towards its equilibrium state. The control protocol, termed Shortcut to Equilibration, is obtained by…
Energy consumption for ion transport in a segmented Paul trap
A. Tobalina, J. Alonso, J. G. Muga
There is recent interest in determining energy costs of shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA), but different definitions of "cost" have been used. We demonstrate the importance of taking…
Invariant-based inverse engineering of crane control parameters
S. González-Resines, D. Guéry-Odelin, A. Tobalina +3
By applying invariant-based inverse engineering in the small-oscillations regime, we design the time dependence of the control parameters of an overhead crane (trolley displacement…
Fast atom transport and launching in a nonrigid trap
A. Tobalina, M. Palmero, S. Martínez-Garaot +1
We study the shuttling of an atom in a trap with controllable position and frequency. Using invariant-based inverse engineering, protocols in which the trap is simultaneously displ…
Energy consumption for Shortcuts To Adiabaticity
E. Torrontegui, I. Lizuain, S. González-Resines +4
Shortcuts to adiabaticity let a system reach the results of a slow adiabatic process in a shorter time. We propose to quantify the "energy cost" of the shortcut by the energy consu…
