    • A Quantum Kinetic Monte Carlo Method for Quantum Many-body Spin Dynamics 

      Cai, Z; Lu, J (2017-11-30)
      We propose a general framework of quantum kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm, based on a stochastic representation of a series expansion of the quantum evolution. Two approaches have been developed in the context of quantum many-body ...
    • Bogoliubov corrections and trace norm convergence for the Hartree dynamics 

      Mitrouskas, D; Petrat, S; Pickl, P
      We consider the dynamics of a large number N of nonrelativistic bosons in the mean field limit for a class of interaction potentials that includes Coulomb interaction. In order to describe the fluctuations around the mean ...
    • Coherence distillation machines are impossible in quantum thermodynamics 

      Marvian, Iman (Nature Communications, 2020-12)
      The role of coherence in quantum thermodynamics has been extensively studied in the recent years and it is now well-understood that coherence between different energy eigenstates is a resource independent of other ...
    • Driven-Dissipative Phase Transition in a Kerr Oscillator: From Semi-Classical PT Symmetry to Quantum Fluctuations. 

      Zhang, Xin HH; Baranger, Harold U (Physical Review A, 2021-03-24)
      We study a minimal model that has a driven-dissipative quantum phase transition, namely a Kerr non-linear oscillator subject to driving and dissipation. Using mean-field theory, exact diagonalization, and the Keldysh formalism, ...
    • Effective dynamics of a tracer particle in a dense homogeneous quantum gas 

      Jeblick, M; Mitrouskas, D; Petrat, S; Pickl, P
      We investigate the mean field regime of the dynamics of a tracer particle in a homogenous quantum gas. For a bosonic gas, we show that this regime is constrained by the well known requirement of an appropriate mean field ...
    • Effective Dynamics of a Tracer Particle Interacting with an Ideal Bose Gas 

      Deckert, DA; Fröhlich, J; Pickl, P; Pizzo, A (Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2014-06)
      We study a system consisting of a heavy quantum particle, called the tracer particle, coupled to an ideal gas of light Bose particles, the ratio of masses of the tracer particle and a gas particle being proportional to the ...
    • Free Time Evolution of a Tracer Particle Coupled to a Fermi Gas in the High-Density Limit 

      Jeblick, M; Mitrouskas, D; Petrat, S; Pickl, P (Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2017-11)
      © 2017, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany. The dynamics of a particle coupled to a dense and homogeneous ideal Fermi gas in two spatial dimensions is studied. We analyze the model for coupling parameter g = 1 (i.e., not in the ...
    • Interference of chiral Andreev edge states 

      Zhao, Lingfei; Arnault, Ethan G; Bondarev, Alexey; Seredinski, Andrew; Larson, Trevyn; Draelos, Anne W; Li, Hengming; ... (12 authors) (Nature Physics, 2020-08-01)
      © 2020, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. The search for topological excitations such as Majorana fermions has spurred interest in the boundaries between distinct quantum states. Here, we ...
    • Lindblad equation and its semi-classical limit of the Anderson-Holstein model 

      Cao, Y; Lu, J (2017-04-23)
      For multi-level open quantum system, the interaction between different levels could pose challenge to understand the quantum system both analytically and numerically. In this work, we study the approximation of the dynamics ...
    • One-dimensional waveguide coupled to multiple qubits: Photon-photon correlations 

      Fang, YLL; Zheng, H; Baranger, HU (EPJ Quantum Technology, 2014-12-01)
      For a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide coupled to two or three qubits, we show that the photon-photon correlations have a wide variety of behavior, with structure that depends sensitively on the frequency and on the qubit-qubit ...
    • Random logic networks: From classical Boolean to quantum dynamics 

      Kluge, Lucas; Socolar, Joshua ES; Schöll, Eckehard
      We investigate dynamical properties of a quantum generalization of classical reversible Boolean networks. The state of each node is encoded as a single qubit, and classical Boolean logic operations are supplemented ...
    • Spontaneous Pair Creation Revisited 

      Pickl, P; Duerr, D
      Recently the so called Spontaneous Pair Creation of electron positron pairs in a strong external field has been rigorously established. We give here the heuristic core of the proof, since the results differ from those given ...
    • Unveiling environmental entanglement in strongly dissipative qubits 

      Bera, Soumya; Florens, Serge; Baranger, Harold; Roch, Nicolas; Nazir, Ahsan; Chin, Alex (arXiv, 2013-01-30)
      The coupling of a qubit to a macroscopic reservoir plays a fundamental role in understanding the complex transition from the quantum to the classical world. Considering a harmonic environment, we use both intuitive arguments ...
    • Wavepackets in inhomogeneous periodic media: effective particle-field dynamics and Berry curvature 

      Watson, AB; Lu, J; Weinstein, MI (2017-04-23)
      We consider a model of an electron in a crystal moving under the influence of an external electric field: Schr\"{o}dinger's equation with a potential which is the sum of a periodic function and a general smooth function. ...
