Reducing Spacetime to Binary Information
Silke Weinfurtner, Gemma De las Cuevas, Miguel Angel Martin-Delgado +1
We present a new description of discrete space-time in 1+1 dimensions in terms of a set of elementary geometrical units that represent its independent classical degrees of freedom.…
Optical switching of radical pair conformation enhances magnetic sensitivity
Gian Giacomo Guerreschi, Markus Tiersch, Ulrich E. Steiner +1
The yield of chemical reactions involving intermediate radical pairs is influenced by magnetic fields well beyond the levels expected from energy considerations. This dependence ca…
Open Quantum System Approach to the Modeling of Spin Recombination Reactions
M. Tiersch, U. E. Steiner, S. Popescu +1
In theories of spin-dependent radical pair reactions, the time evolution of the radical pair, including the effect of the chemical kinetics, is described by a master equation in th…
Measurement-based quantum repeaters
M. Zwerger, W. Dür, H. J. Briegel
We introduce measurement-based quantum repeaters, where small-scale measurement-based quantum processors are used to perform entanglement purification and entanglement swapping in…
Heat transport through lattices of quantum harmonic oscillators in arbitrary dimensions
A. Asadian, D. Manzano, M. Tiersch +1
In d-dimensional lattices of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators, we analyze the heat current caused by two thermal baths of different temperature, which are coupled to opposite e…
Decoherence in the chemical compass: The role of decoherence for avian magnetoreception
Markus Tiersch, Hans J. Briegel
Contrary to the usual picture that decoherence destroys quantum properties and causes the quantum-to-classical transition, we argue that decoherence can also play a constructive ro…
