Transitions in the learnability of global charges from local measurements

Fergus Barratt, Utkarsh Agrawal, Andrew C. Potter +2

We consider monitored quantum systems with a global conserved charge, and ask how efficiently an observer ("eavesdropper") can learn the global charge of such systems from local pr…

Simulating groundstate and dynamical quantum phase transitions on a superconducting quantum computer

James Dborin, Vinul Wimalaweera, Fergus Barratt +3

We optimise a translationally invariant, sequential quantum circuit on a superconducting quantum device to simulate the groundstate of the quantum Ising model through its quantum c…

Field theory of charge sharpening in symmetric monitored quantum circuits

Fergus Barratt, Utkarsh Agrawal, Sarang Gopalakrishnan +3

Monitored quantum circuits (MRCs) exhibit a measurement-induced phase transition between area-law and volume-law entanglement scaling. MRCs with a conserved charge additionally exh…

Dissipative failure of adiabatic quantum transport as a dynamical phase transition

Fergus Barratt, Aleix Bou Comas, Philip J. D. Crowley +3

Entanglement is the central resource in adiabatic quantum transport. Dephasing affects the availability of that resource by biasing trajectories, driving transitions between succes…

Automatic Post-selection by Ancillae Thermalisation

Lewis Wright, Fergus Barratt, James Dborin +2

Tasks such as classification of data and determining the groundstate of a Hamiltonian cannot be carried out through purely unitary quantum evolution. Instead, the inherent non-unit…

Rare quantum metastable states in the strongly dispersive Jaynes-Cummings oscillator

Th. K. Mavrogordatos, F. Barratt, U. Asari +3

We present evidence of metastable rare quantum-fluctuation switching for the driven dissipative Jaynes-Cummings oscillator coupled to a zero-temperature bath in the strongly disper…
