Fundamental bound on Wigner negativity generation from environmental collisions

Isaac Layton, Takahiro Sagawa, Ken Funo

Beyond quadratic potentials, classical evolution laws are typically thought to arise from quantum theory as an approximate description. Here we show that classical evolution laws c…

A levitated nano-accelerometer sensitized by quantum quench

M. Kamba, S. Otabe, K. Funo +2

We realize a nanoscale accelerometer exploiting the nonequilibrium dynamics of a nanoparticle near the quantum ground state. We explore the dynamics after quenching the trapping po…

Adversarial Thermodynamics

Maite Arcos, Philippe Faist, Takahiro Sagawa +1

In thermodynamics, an agent's ability to extract work is fundamentally constrained by their environment. Traditional frameworks struggle to capture how strategic decision-making un…

Optimal Work Extraction from Finite-Time Closed Quantum Dynamics

Shoki Sugimoto, Takahiro Sagawa, Ryusuke Hamazaki

Extracting useful work from quantum systems is a fundamental problem in quantum thermodynamics. In scenarios where rapid protocols are desired -- whether due to practical constrain…

Thermodynamic approach to quantum cooling limit of continuous Gaussian feedback

Kousuke Kumasaki, Toshihiro Yada, Ken Funo +1

Feedback cooling plays a critical role in stabilizing quantum systems and achieving low temperatures, where a key question is to determine the fundamental thermodynamic limits on c…

Thermodynamic speed limit for non-adiabatic work and its classical-quantum decomposition

Aoi Yamauchi, Rihito Nagase, Kaixin Li +2

Understanding the fundamental constraint on work far beyond the adiabatic regime is crucial to investigating fast and efficient energy extraction or consumption processes. In this…

Quantum Circuit Distillation and Compression

Shunsuke Daimon, Kakeru Tsunekawa, Ryoto Takeuchi +3

Quantum coherence in a qubit is vulnerable to environmental noise. When long quantum calculation is run on a quantum processor without error correction, the noise often causes fata…
