Driven-dissipative quantum systems can recover stable dynamical attractors in the semiclassical limit, including coexisting limit cycles. At finite fluctuation strength, this classical coexistence becomes quantum metastability: the…

We propose a pulsed dynamical decoupling protocol as the generator of tunable, fast, and robust quantum phase gates between two microwave-driven trapped ion hyperfine qubits. The protocol consists of sequences of $\pi$-pulses acting on ions…

We consider a model fluid with long-ranged, dispersion interparticle potentials confined between competing parallel walls. One wall is solvophilic and would be completely wet at bulk liquid-gas coexistence while the other is solvophobic and…

Binary mixtures prepared in an homogeneous phase and quenched into a two-phase region phase-separate via a coarsening process whereby domains of the two phases grow in time. With a numerical study of a spin-exchange model we show that this…

Driven diffusive systems may undergo phase transitions to sustain atypical values of the current. This leads in some cases to symmetry-broken space-time trajectories which enhance the probability of such fluctuations. Here we shed light on…

A two-level system subjected to a high-frequency driving field can exhibit an effect termed ``coherent destruction of tunneling'', in which the tunneling of the system is suppressed at certain values of the frequency and strength of the…
