Macroscopic Spin GHZ States with a Levitated Ferromagnet

Xueqi Ni, Zhixing Zou, Ping Koy Lam +2

The generation of macroscopic quantum states can drive both fundamental physics and quantum technologies. This work proposes a top-down approach to the generation of macroscopic sp…

The Quantum Kicked Rotor: A Paradigm of Quantum Chaos. Foundational aspects and new perspectives

Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Jiangbin Gong +1

The kicked rotor provides a simple yet powerful model for introducing many of the central concepts of classical and quantum chaos. Despite its apparent simplicity, it exhibits rich…

Quantum vs Classical Thermal Transport at Low Temperatures

Zhixing Zou, Jiangbin Gong, Jiao Wang +2

This work aims to understand how quantum mechanics affects heat transport at low temperatures. In the classical setting, by considering a simple paradigmatic model, our simulations…

A pseudoclassical theory for the wavepacket dynamics of the kicked rotor model

Zhixing Zou, Jiao Wang

In this study, we propose a generalized pseudoclassical theory for the kicked rotor model in an attempt to discern the footprints of the classical dynamics in the deep quantum regi…

Rectification of heat current in Corbino geometry

Zhixing Zou, Giulio Casati, Giuliano Benenti +1

We prove analytically the ballistic thermal rectification effect (BTRE) in the Corbino disk characterized by an annular shape. We derive the thermal rectification efficiency (RE) a…

Pseudoclassical dynamics of the kicked top

Zhixing Zou, Jiao Wang

The kicked rotor and the kicked top are two paradigms of quantum chaos. The notions of quantum resonance and the pseudoclassical limit, developed in the study of the kicked rotor,…
