Semidefinite programming for understanding the limitations of Lindblad equations

Soumyadeep Sarma, Manas Kulkarni, Archak Purkayastha +1

Lindbladian quantum master equations (LEs) are the most popular descriptions for quantum systems weakly coupled to baths. But, recent works have established that in many situations…

Proxitaxis: an adaptive search strategy based on proximity and stochastic resetting

Giuseppe Del Vecchio Del Vecchio, Manas Kulkarni, Satya N. Majumdar +1

We introduce \emph{proxitaxis}, a simple search strategy where the searcher has only information about the distance from the target but not the direction. The strategy consists of…

Non-Equilibrium Phase Transition in a Boundary-Driven Dissipative Fermionic Chain

Hao Chen, Wucheng Zhang, Manas Kulkarni +1

We demonstrate that a boundary-localized periodic (Floquet) drive can induce nontrivial long-range correlations in a non-interacting fermionic chain which is additionally subject t…

The distribution of the moment of inertia for harmonically trapped noninteracting Bosons at finite temperature: large deviations

Manas Kulkarni, Satya N. Majumdar, Gregory Schehr

We compute the full probability distribution of the moment of inertia of a gas of noninteracting bosons trapped in a harmonic potential…

Dynamics of number entropy for free fermionic systems in presence of defects and stochastic processes

Atharva Naik, Bijay Kumar Agarwalla, Manas Kulkarni

We investigate the dynamics of number entropy in a chain of free fermions subjected to both defects and stochastic processes. For a special class of defects, namely conformal defec…

Quantum dynamics in lattices in presence of bulk dephasing and a localized source

Tamoghna Ray, Katha Ganguly, Dario Poletti +2

The aim of this work is to study the dynamics of quantum systems subjected to a localized fermionic source in the presence of bulk dephasing. We consider two classes of one-dimensi…
