Tight lower bounds on the time it takes to generate a geometric phase

Niklas Hörnedal, Ole Sönnerborn

Geometric phase is a concept of central importance in virtually every branch of physics. In this paper, we show that the evolution time of a cyclically evolving quantum system is r…

Closed systems refuting quantum-speed-limit hypotheses

Niklas Hörnedal, Ole Sönnerborn

Many quantum speed limits for isolated systems can be generalized to also apply to closed systems. This is, for example, the case with the well-known Mandelstam-Tamm quantum speed…

Margolus-Levitin quantum speed limit for an arbitrary fidelity

Niklas Hörnedal, Ole Sönnerborn

The Mandelstam-Tamm and Margolus-Levitin quantum speed limits are two well-known evolution time estimates for isolated quantum systems. These bounds are usually formulated for full…

Quantum speed limits on operator flows and correlation functions

Nicoletta Carabba, Niklas Hörnedal, Adolfo del Campo

Quantum speed limits (QSLs) identify fundamental time scales of physical processes by providing lower bounds on the rate of change of a quantum state or the expectation value of an…

Ultimate Speed Limits to the Growth of Operator Complexity

Niklas Hörnedal, Nicoletta Carabba, Apollonas S. Matsoukas-Roubeas +1

In an isolated system, the time evolution of a given observable in the Heisenberg picture can be efficiently represented in Krylov space. In this representation, an initial operato…

Extensions of the Mandelstam-Tamm quantum speed limit to systems in mixed states

Niklas Hörnedal, Dan Allan, Ole Sönnerborn

The Mandelstam-Tamm quantum speed limit puts a bound on how fast a closed system in a pure state can evolve. In this paper, we derive several extensions of this quantum speed limit…

Time-optimal quantum transformations with bounded bandwidth

Dan Allan, Niklas Hörnedal, Ole Andersson

In this paper, we derive sharp lower bounds, also known as quantum speed limits, for the time it takes to transform a quantum system into a state such that an observable assumes it…
