Ballistic-to-Localized Dynamics as Signature of Quantum Phase Transition in Josephson Junction
F. G. Capone, A. de Candia, G. Di Bello +5
Using state-of-the-art numerical techniques, we investigate how quantum phase fluctuations and quasiparticle tunneling shape the behavior of a small-capacitance Josephson junction…
Quantum Synchronization
Parvinder Solanki, Albert Cabot, Fernando Iemini +8
Natural and engineered classical systems are replete with examples of synchronization, understood as the adjustment of rhythms of physical systems. Such synchronization is at the h…
Quantum Mpemba effect in chaotic systems with conservation laws
Thomas Martin Müller, Silvia Pappalardi, Rosario Fazio
Closed chaotic quantum systems relax after a quench into a Gibbs ensemble. At late times, the relaxation speed is determined by their conservation laws and hydrodynamics. As a resu…
Active Quantum Particles from Engineered Dissipation
Jeanne Gipouloux, Matteo Brunelli, Leticia Cugliandolo +2
We introduce and characterize different models for an active quantum particle where activity arises from engineered dissipation-- specifically, from a suitably coupled nonequilibri…
Quantum Brownian Motion: proving that the Schmid transition belongs to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class
Francesco G. Capone, Antonio de Candia, Vittorio Cataudella +4
We investigate the equilibrium properties of a quantum Brownian particle moving in a periodic potential, specifically addressing the nature of the dissipation-driven Schmid transit…
Boundary Time Crystals as AC sensors: enhancements and constraints
Dominic Gribben, Anna Sanpera, Rosario Fazio +2
We investigate the use of a boundary time crystals (BTCs) as quantum sensors of AC fields. Boundary time crystals are non-equilibrium phases of matter in contact to an environment,…
