EarlyCommit: Calibrated Word-by-Word Commitment for Robots Acting Before You Finish Speaking

Muhammad Haris Khan

Human listeners can often identify the intended object several words before an instruction ends. Robots, however, are typically designed to wait until the speaker has finished befo…

Procrastinating einselection in non-Markovian quantum dynamics

Michael J. Moody, Tara Kalsi, Agung Budiyono +1

Among the processes governed by open-system and dissipative quantum dynamics, environment-induced superselection, or einselection, is particularly foundational, since it describes…

Ideal heat engine cycles at maximal efficiency -- the ideal gas and beyond

Gregory Behrendt, Sebastian Deffner

Given a particular heat engine cycle, what is the optimal working medium that results in the highest efficiency? While one might jump to the conclusion that it must surely be the i…

Quantum annealers as programmable thermal machines

Jakub Pawłowski, Tomasz Śmierzchalski, Fengping Jin +3

Programmable quantum annealers are used for optimization, probabilistic sampling, and simulation, but their performance is commonly reported without the energy exchanged during com…

Procrustes Tomography -- reconstructing noisy quantum channels made easy

Josey Stevens, Reece Robertson, Sebastian Deffner

What is the most expensive part of quantum device characterization? Clearly, the answer is quantum process tomography. However, especially for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NIS…

Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work

Christopher Jarzynski, Sebastian Deffner, Saar Rahav

Classical fluctuation theorems for work have been obtained theoretically, and verified experimentally, within a non-autonomous framework in which work is performed on a system of i…
