In situ characterization of linear-optical networks in randomized boson sampling
Saleh Rahimi-Keshari, Sima Baghbanzadeh, Carlton M. Caves
We introduce a method for efficient, in situ characterization of linear-optical networks (LONs) in randomized boson-sampling (RBS) experiments. We formulate RBS as a distributed ta…
Coherent and controllable enhancement of light-harvesting efficiency
Stefano Tomasi, Sima Baghbanzadeh, Saleh Rahimi-Keshari +1
Spectroscopic experiments have identified long-lived coherences in several light-harvesting systems, suggesting that coherent effects may be relevant to their performance. However,…
Geometry, supertransfer, and optimality in the light harvesting of purple bacteria
Sima Baghbanzadeh, Ivan Kassal
The remarkable rotational symmetry of the photosynthetic antenna complexes of purple bacteria has long been thought to enhance their light harvesting and excitation energy transpor…
Distinguishing the roles of energy funnelling and delocalization in photosynthetic light harvesting
Sima Baghbanzadeh, Ivan Kassal
Photosynthetic complexes improve the transfer of excitation energy from peripheral antennas to reaction centers in several ways. In particular, a downward energy funnel can direct…
Distillation of free entanglement from bound entangled states using weak measurements
S. Baghbanzadeh, A. T. Rezakhani
We propose a scheme for distillation of free bipartite entanglement from bipartite bound-entangled states. The crucial element of our scheme is an ancillary system that is coupled…
Bound entanglement in quantum phase transitions
S. Baghbanzadeh, S. Alipour, A. T. Rezakhani
We investigate quantum phase transitions in which a change in the type of entanglement from bound entanglement to either free entanglement or separability may occur. In particular,…
