Multiparameter estimation with position-momentum correlated Gaussian probes

João C. P. Porto, Carlos H. S. Vieira, Pedro R. Dieguez +2

Gaussian quantum probes have been widely used in quantum metrology and thermometry, where the goal is to estimate the temperature of an environment with which the probe interacts.…

Temperature and non-Markovian parameter estimation in quantum Brownian motion

João C. P. Porto, Carlos H. S. Vieira, Irismar G. da Paz +2

We investigate a quantum metrological protocol operating in a non-Markovian environment by employing the quantum Brownian motion (QBM) model, in which the system is linearly couple…

High-dimensional monitoring and the emergence of realism via multiple observers

Alexandre C. Orthey, Pedro R. Dieguez, Owidiusz Makuta +1

Correlation is the basic mechanism of every measurement model, as one never accesses the measured system directly. Instead, correlations are created, codifying information about th…

Exploring quantum thermodynamics with NMR

Carlos H. S. Vieira, Jefferson L. D. de Oliveira, Jonas F. G. Santos +2

Quantum thermodynamics seeks to extend non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics to small quantum systems where non-classical features are essential to its description. Such a rese…

Thermal devices powered by generalized measurements with indefinite causal order

Pedro R. Dieguez, Vinicius F. Lisboa, Roberto M. Serra

A quantum-controlled device may produce a scenario in which two general quantum operations can be performed in such a way that it is not possible to associate a definite order for…

Experimental investigation of a quantum heat engine powered by generalized measurements

V. F. Lisboa, P. R. Dieguez, J. R. Guimarães +2

Generalized measurements may allow the control of its back-action on the quantum system by interpolating from a very weak to strong projective action. Such a measurement can fuel a…

Realism-based nonlocality: Invariance under local unitary operations and asymptotic decay for thermal correlated states

V. S. Gomes, P. R. Dieguez, H. M. Vasconcelos

The realism-based nonlocality (RBN) is a recently introduced measure that differs from the well-known Bell's nonlocality. For bipartite states, the RBN concerns how much an element…

Experimental assessment of physical realism in a quantum-controlled device

Pedro R. Dieguez, Jéferson R. Guimarães, John P. S. Peterson +2

Bohr's complementarity principle has been challenged by quantum delayed-choice experiments wherein quantum systems are claimed to behave neither as wave nor as a particle, but in a…

Irrealism from fringe visibility in matter-wave double-slit interference with initial contractive states

F. R. Lustosa, P. R. Dieguez, I. G. da Paz

The elements of reality coined by Einstein, Podoslky, and Rosen promoted a series of fundamental discussions involving the notion of quantum correlations and physical realism. The…
