Shortcuts to adiabaticity designed via time-rescaling follow the same transitionless route

J. L. Montenegro Ferreira, Ângelo F. da Silva França, Alexandre Rosas +1

Time-rescaling (TR) has been recently proposed as a method to engineer fast processes, also known as shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA), which enables the coherent control of quantum…

Thermodynamics of ancilla-assisted erasure of quantum information

Carlos Octavio A. Ribeiro Neto, Bertúlio de Lima Bernardo

Landauer's principle sets a fundamental limit on the heat dissipated when one classical bit of information is erased from a memory, thereby establishing a direct link between infor…

Quantum state tomography of photon's polarization and path degrees of freedom

J. L. Montenegro Ferreira, B. de Lima Bernardo

Quantum state tomography (QST), the process through which the density matrix of a quantum system is characterized from measurements of specific observables, is a fundamental pillar…

Quantum coherence and the principle of microscopic reversibility

K. Khan, W. F. Magalhaes, Jailson S. Araujo +2

The principle of microscopic reversibility is a fundamental element in the formulation of fluctuation relations and the Onsager reciprocal relations. As such, a clear description o…

Unveiling the Markovian to non-Markovian transition with quantum collision models

Willames F. Magalhães, Carlos O. A. Ribeiro Neto, Bertúlio de Lima Bernardo

The concept of non-Markovianity in open quantum systems is traditionally associated with the existence of information backflows from the environment to the system. Meanwhile, the m…

Shortcuts to adiabatic population inversion via time-rescaling: stability and thermodynamic cost

Jair da Silva Andrade, Ângelo F. da Silva França, Bertúlio de Lima Bernardo

A shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) is concerned with the fast and robust manipulation of the dynamics of a quantum system that reproduces the effect of an adiabatic process. A recent…

Influence of polarization and the environment on wave-particle duality

Andréa Freire dos Santos, Natália E. L. Barbosa, J. L. Montenegro Ferreira +1

Wave-particle duality is certainly one of the most curious concepts of contemporary physics, which ascribes mutually exclusive behaviors to quantum systems that cannot be observed…

A Newtonian approach to the study of irreversibility in many-body systems

Bertúlio de Lima Bernardo

Irreversibility remains one of the least understood concepts in physics. One of the main reasons is the fact that the fundamental laws of classical and quantum physics are time sym…

How a single particle modifies the physical reality of two distant others simultaneously: a quantum nonlocality and weak value study

Bertúlio de Lima Bernardo, Askery Canabarro, Sérgio Azevedo

The concept of wave-particle duality, which is a key element of quantum theory, has been remarkably found to manifest itself in several experimental realizations as in the famous d…

Unified quantum density matrix description of coherence and polarization

Bertúlio de Lima Bernardo

The properties of coherence and polarization of light has been the subject of intense investigations and form the basis of many technological applications. These concepts which his…

Time-Correlation and Decoherence in a Two-Particle Interferometer

Bertulio de Lima Bernardo

A two-particle interferometer is theoretically analyzed, to show how decoherence induced by interactions with the environment affects time correlations, a process we call time-corr…
