Symmetries are a key concept to connect mathematical elegance with physical insight. We consider measurement assemblages in quantum mechanics and show how their symmetry can be described by means of the so-called discrete bundles. It turns…
Geometric phases arise naturally in a variety of quantum systems with observable consequences. They also arise in quantum computations when dressed states are used in gating operations. Here we show how they arise in these gating operations…
Geometric phase is a promising element to induce high-fidelity and robust quantum operations due to its built-in noise-resilience feature. Unfortunately, its practical applications are usually circumscribed by requiring complex interactions…
