Thermodynamic fingerprints of non-Markovianity in a system of coupled superconducting qubits

S. Hamedani Raja, M. Borrelli, R. Schmidt +2

The exploitation and characterization of memory effects arising from the interaction between system and environment is a key prerequisite for quantum reservoir engineering beyond t…

Beating the limits with initial correlations

Daniel Basilewitsch, Rebecca Schmidt, Dominique Sugny +2

Fast and reliable reset of a qubit is a key prerequisite for any quantum technology. For real world open quantum systems undergoing non-Markovian dynamics, reset implies not only p…

Quantifying non-Markovianity due to driving and a finite-size environment in an open quantum system

Rui Sampaio, Samu Suomela, Rebecca Schmidt +1

We study non-Markovian effects present in a driven qubit coupled to a finite environment using a recently proposed model developed in the context of calorimetric measurements of op…

Energy backflow in strongly coupled non-Markovian continuous-variables systems

Giacomo Guarnieri, Johannes Nokkala, Rebecca Schmidt +2

By employing the full counting statistics formalism, we characterize the first moment of energy that is exchanged during a generally non-Markovian evolution in non-driven continuou…

Heat flux and information backflow in cold condensed matter systems

Rebecca Schmidt, Sabrina Maniscalco, Tapio Ala-Nissila

We examine non-Markovian effects in an open quantum system from the point of view of information flow. To this end, we consider the spin-boson model with a cold reservoir, accounti…

Thermodynamics of quantum feedback cooling

Pietro Liuzzo-Scorpo, Luis A. Correa, Rebecca Schmidt +1

The ability to initialize quantum registers in pure states lies at the core of many applications of quantum technologies, from sensing to quantum information processing and computa…

Towards Quantum Cybernetics

Davide Girolami, Rebecca Schmidt, Gerardo Adesso

Classical cybernetics is a successful meta-theory to model the regulation of complex systems from an abstract information-theoretic viewpoint, regardless of the properties of the s…

Work and heat for two-level systems in dissipative environments: Strong driving and non-Markovian dynamics

Rebecca Schmidt, M. Florencia Carusela, Jukka P. Pekola +2

Work, moments of work and heat flux are studied for the generic case of a strongly driven twolevel system immersed in a bosonic heat bath in domains of parameter space where pertur…

Optimal control theory with arbitrary superpositions of waveforms

Selina Meister, Jürgen T. Stockburger, Rebecca Schmidt +1

Standard optimal control methods perform optimization in the time domain. However, many experimental settings demand the expression of the control signal as a superposition of give…

Entanglement generation through local field and quantum dissipation

Jürgen T. Stockburger, Rebecca Schmidt, Joachim Ankerhold

Entanglement in a Gaussian two-mode system can be generated by local driving if additional non-local features are introduced to the dynamics. We demonstrate that weak to moderate o…

Almost local generation of EPR entanglement in non-equilibrium

Rebecca Schmidt, Jürgen T. Stockburger, Joachim Ankerhold

The generation of entanglement is studied in a minimal model consisting of two independent Gaussian parties embedded in a common heat bath and subject to local control signals. Nei…

Optimal control of open quantum systems: cooperative effects of driving and dissipation

Rebecca Schmidt, Antonio Negretti, Joachim Ankerhold +2

We investigate the optimal control of open quantum systems, in particular, the mutual influence of driving and dissipation. A stochastic approach to open-system control is develope…
