Temporal Interference from Topological Transitions in Monitored Quantum Dynamics

Qingyuan Wang, Ruoyu Yin, Eli Barkai

Quantum interference is conventionally associated with the coherent superposition of alternative paths. We uncover a temporal form of interference in repeatedly monitored quantum s…

Emergence of drifted diffusion in quantum walks with subspace restart

Liwei Qiao, Ruoyu Yin, Wei Zhang

Restart of a quantum process is typically modeled as a global reinitialization that erases the system's entire history. Here we introduce subspace restart, a protocol that periodic…

First Hitting Times on a Quantum Computer: Tracking vs. Local Monitoring, Topological Effects, and Dark States

Qingyuan Wang, Silin Ren, Ruoyu Yin +3

We investigate a quantum walk on a ring represented by a directed triangle graph with complex edge weights and monitored at a constant rate until the quantum walker is detected. To…

Restart uncertainty relation for monitored quantum dynamics

Ruoyu Yin, Qingyuan Wang, Sabine Tornow +1

We introduce a novel time-energy uncertainty relation within the context of restarts in monitored quantum dynamics. Initially, we investigate the concept of ``first hitting time''…

Constructing Berry-Maxwell equations with Lorentz invariance and Gauss' law of Weyl monopoles in 4D energy-momentum space

Yiming Pan, Ruoyu Yin

We present the construction of a reciprocal electromagnetic field by extending the Berry curvatures into four-dimensional (4D) energy-momentum space. The resulting governing equati…

Instability in the quantum restart problem

Ruoyu Yin, Qingyuan Wang, Eli Barkai

Repeatedly-monitored quantum walks with a rate yield discrete-time trajectories which are inherently random. With these paths the first-hitting time with sharp restart is stu…

Restart expedites quantum walk hitting times

Ruoyu Yin, Eli Barkai

Classical first-passage times under restart are used in a wide variety of models, yet the quantum version of the problem still misses key concepts. We study the quantum hitting tim…

Large fluctuations of the first detected quantum return time

Ruoyu Yin, Klaus Ziegler, Felix Thiel +1

How long does it take a quantum particle to return to its origin? As shown previously under repeated projective measurements aimed to detect the return, the closed cycle yields a g…
