Validation and calibration of quantum hardware through the many-body quantum Mpemba effect

Francesco Campaioli, Marco Avesani, Oren Raz +2

We introduce a validation process that harnesses engineered many-body relaxation to control and calibrate quantum hardware. On two independently developed neutral-atom processors,…

All-Optical Single-Shot Temporal Characterization of SASE FEL Pulses Using Double-Blind Holography

A. Azzolin, O. Cannelli, K. -F. Wong +31

X-ray Free-electron lasers (XFELs) deliver ultrashort and ultrabright radiation in a photon-energy range spanning from extreme ultraviolet to hard X-rays. Supporting pulse duration…

Extending the Mpemba effect to the underdamped realm

Shahaf Aharony Shapira, Gene Chen, Marija Vucelja +1

The Mpemba effect is the counterintuitive phenomenon in which an initially hotter system cools faster than a colder, otherwise identical system. It has been experimentally demonstr…

Enhanced synchronization with proportional coupling in Kuramoto oscillator networks

Amit Pando, Eran Bernstein, Tomer Hacohen +5

We introduce a novel coupling scheme for maximizing the synchronization of Kuramoto oscillator networks under a fixed coupling budget. We show that by scaling the interaction stren…

Speedups in nonequilibrium thermal relaxation: Mpemba and related effects

Gianluca Teza, John Bechhoefer, Antonio Lasanta +2

Most of our intuition about the behavior of physical systems is shaped by observations at or near thermal equilibrium. However, even a thermal quench can lead to states far from th…
