Charge Oscillations in Superconducting Nanodevices Coupled to External Environments
Robert Alicki, Fabio Benatti, Roberto Floreanini
Charge oscillations in certain nanodevices, more specifically the so-called Superconducting Cooper Pair Boxes (SCB), are usually interpreted as an effect of macroscopic quantum coh…
A simple test of quantumness for a single system
Robert Alicki, Nicholas Van Ryn
We propose a simple test of quantumness which can decide whether for the given set of accessible experimental data the classical model is insufficient. Take two observables …
A statistical mechanics view on Kitaev's proposal for quantum memories
R. Alicki, M. Fannes, M. Horodecki
We compute rigorously the ground and equilibrium states for Kitaev's model in 2D, both the finite and infinite version, using an analogy with the 1D Ising ferromagnet. Next, we inv…
Comment on "Resilient Quantum Computation in Correlated Environments: A Quantum Phase Transition Perspective" and "Fault-tolerant Quantum Computation with Longe-range Correlated Noise"
Robert Alicki
Critical comments on the recent papers supporting the idea of resilient quantum computations are presented.
