A quantum optomechanical Mach clock
G. J. Milburn, T. J. Milburn
We introduce a quantum thermodynamic system that can operate as a thermal clock in analogy with the thermal clock first introduced by Ernst Mach in which the temperature difference…
Dynamically encircling exceptional points in a waveguide: asymmetric mode switching from the breakdown of adiabaticity
Jörg Doppler, Alexei A. Mailybaev, Julian Böhm +7
Physical systems with loss or gain feature resonant modes that are decaying or growing exponentially with time. Whenever two such modes coalesce both in their resonant frequency an…
Non-classical state generation in macroscopic systems via hybrid discrete-continuous quantum measurements
T. J. Milburn, M. S. Kim, M. R. Vanner
Non-classical state generation is an important component throughout experimental quantum science for quantum information applications and probing the fundamentals of physics. Here,…
PT-symmetry breaking in the steady state of microscopic gain-loss systems
Kosmas V. Kepesidis, Thomas J. Milburn, Julian Huber +3
The phenomenon of PT (parity- and time-reversal) symmetry breaking is conventionally associated with a change in the complex mode spectrum of a non-Hermitian system that marks a tr…
General description of quasi-adiabatic dynamical phenomena near exceptional points
Thomas J. Milburn, Jörg Doppler, Catherine A. Holmes +3
The appearance of so-called exceptional points in the complex spectra of non-Hermitian systems is often associated with phenomena that contradict our physical intuition. One exampl…
Checking the error correction strength of arbitrary surface code logical gates
Thomas J. Milburn, Austin G. Fowler
Topologically quantum error corrected logical gates are complex. Chains of errors can form in space and time and diagonally in spacetime. It is highly nontrivial to determine wheth…
