Generating uniform quantum state ensembles with continuous measurement
Theodore McKeever, Ahsan Nazir, Harry J. D. Miller
We investigate the generation of uniform quantum state ensembles via continuous measurement. Using the Bloch representation, we derive the associated Langevin and Fokker-Pl…
An Introduction to the Foundations and Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
Theodore McKeever, Ahsan Nazir
This article surveys a selection of key conceptual and interpretational developments in quantum mechanics, tracing the theory from its foundational postulates to contemporary discu…
Finite steps optimise dissipation in stochastically controlled quantum systems
Theodore McKeever, Harry J. D. Miller, Ahsan Nazir
Motivated by the need for precise, energy-efficient, and experimentally realistic quantum control protocols, we investigate the thermodynamic cost of performing quantum step-equili…
A Finite-Time Quantum Otto Engine subject to Control Noise and Enhancement Techniques
Theodore McKeever, Owen Diba, Ahsan Nazir
With the development of any quantum technology comes a need for precise control of quantum systems. Here, we evaluate the impact of control noise on a quantum Otto cycle. Whilst it…
