Quantum metrology enhanced by effective time reversal
Yu-Xin Wang, Flavio Salvati, David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur +3
Quantum metrology involves the application of quantum resources to enhance measurements. Several communities have developed quantum-metrology strategies that leverage effective tim…
Bosonic statistics enhance Maxwell's demon in photonic experiment
Malaquias Correa Anguita, Sara Marzban, William F. Braasch +4
Maxwell's demon elucidates the value of information in thermodynamics, using measurement and feedback: he evolves an equilibrated gas into a nonequilibrium state, from which one mi…
Proposals for experimentally realizing quantum-autonomous gates
José Antonio Marín Guzmán, Yu-Xin Wang, Tom Manovitz +4
Autonomous quantum machines (AQMs) execute tasks without requiring time-dependent external control. Motivations for AQMs include the restrictions imposed by classical control on qu…
Superconducting-antiqubit simulation enables optimal phase estimation via unitary inversion
Xingrui Song, Surihan Sean Borjigin, Flavio Salvati +4
A positron is equivalent to an electron traveling backward through time. Casting transmon superconducting qubits as akin to electrons, we simulate a positron with a transmon subjec…
Roadmap on Quantum Thermodynamics
Steve Campbell, Irene D'Amico, Mario A. Ciampini +66
The last two decades has seen quantum thermodynamics become a well established field of research in its own right. In that time, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad applicabilit…
Quantum complexity in gravity, quantum field theory, and quantum information science
Stefano Baiguera, Vijay Balasubramanian, Pawel Caputa +4
Quantum complexity quantifies the difficulty of preparing a state or implementing a unitary transformation with limited resources. Applications range from quantum computation to co…
Work and heat exchanged during sudden quenches of strongly coupled quantum systems
Zohreh Davoudi, Christopher Jarzynski, Niklas Mueller +3
How should one define thermodynamic quantities (internal energy, work, heat, etc.) for quantum systems coupled to their environments strongly? We examine three (classically equival…
Numerical evidence for the non-Abelian eigenstate thermalization hypothesis
Aleksander Lasek, Jae Dong Noh, Jade LeSchack +1
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains how generic quantum many-body systems thermalize internally. It implies that local operators' time-averaged expectation valu…
Properties and Applications of the Kirkwood-Dirac Distribution
David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur, William F. Braasch, Stephan De Bievre +6
Recent years have seen the Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) distribution come to the forefront as a powerful quasi-probability distribution for analysing quantum mechanics. The KD distribution…
Noncommuting conserved charges in quantum thermodynamics and beyond
Shayan Majidy, William F. Braasch, Aleksander Lasek +3
Thermodynamic systems typically conserve quantities ("charges") such as energy and particle number. The charges are often assumed implicitly to commute with each other. Yet quantum…
Non-Abelian transport distinguishes three usually equivalent notions of entropy production
Twesh Upadhyaya, William F. Braasch, Gabriel T. Landi +1
We extend entropy production to a deeply quantum regime involving noncommuting conserved quantities. Consider a unitary transporting conserved quantities ("charges") between two sy…
Critical phase and spin sharpening in SU(2)-symmetric monitored quantum circuits
Shayan Majidy, Utkarsh Agrawal, Sarang Gopalakrishnan +3
Monitored quantum circuits exhibit entanglement transitions at certain measurement rates. Such a transition separates phases characterized by how much information an observer can l…
Non-Abelian symmetry can increase entanglement entropy
Shayan Majidy, Aleksander Lasek, David A. Huse +1
The pillars of quantum theory include entanglement and operators' failure to commute. The Page curve quantifies the bipartite entanglement of a many-body system in a random pure st…
Experimental observation of thermalization with noncommuting charges
Florian Kranzl, Aleksander Lasek, Manoj K. Joshi +4
Quantum simulators have recently enabled experimental observations of quantum many-body systems' internal thermalization. Often, the global energy and particle number are conserved…
Negative quasiprobabilities enhance phase estimation in quantum-optics experiment
Noah B. Lupu-Gladstein, Batuhan Y. Yilmaz, David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur +4
Operator noncommutation, a hallmark of quantum theory, limits measurement precision, according to uncertainty principles. Wielded correctly, though, noncommutation can boost precis…
Resource theory of quantum uncomplexity
Nicole Yunger Halpern, Naga B. T. Kothakonda, Jonas Haferkamp +3
Quantum complexity is emerging as a key property of many-body systems, including black holes, topological materials, and early quantum computers. A state's complexity quantifies th…
Conditions tighter than noncommutation needed for nonclassicality
David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur, Jacob Chevalier Drori, Nicole Yunger Halpern
Kirkwood discovered in 1933, and Dirac discovered in 1945, a representation of quantum states that has undergone a renaissance recently. The Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) distribution has be…
Entangled quantum cellular automata, physical complexity, and Goldilocks rules
Logan E. Hillberry, Matthew T. Jones, David L. Vargas +6
Cellular automata are interacting classical bits that display diverse emergent behaviors, from fractals to random-number generators to Turing-complete computation. We discover that…
Quantifying many-body learning far from equilibrium with representation learning
Weishun Zhong, Jacob M. Gold, Sarah Marzen +2
Far-from-equilibrium many-body systems, from soap bubbles to suspensions to polymers, learn the drives that push them. This learning has been observed via thermodynamic properties,…
Quantum Advantage in Postselected Metrology
David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur, Nicole Yunger Halpern, Hugo V. Lepage +3
We show that postselection offers a nonclassical advantage in metrology. In every parameter-estimation experiment, the final measurement or the postprocessing incurs some cost. Pos…
