Gaussian time-translation covariant operations: structure, implementation, and thermodynamics

Xueyuan Hu, Lea Lautenbacher, Giovanni Spaventa +3

Time-translation symmetry strongly constrains physical dynamics, yet systematic characterization for continuous-variable systems lags behind its discrete-variable counterpart. We c…
