For many implementations of quantum computing, 1/f and other types of broad-spectrum noise are an important source of decoherence. An important step forward would be the ability to back out the characteristics of this noise from qubit…
What is the minimal time until a quantum system can exhibit genuine quantum features? To answer this question we derive quantum speed limits for two-time correlation functions arising from statistics of measurements. Generally, these…
We analyze the transport properties in approximants of quasicrystals alpha-AlMnSi, 1/1-AlCuFe and for the complex metallic phase lambda-AlMn. These phases presents strong analogies in their local atomic structures and are related to…
The analysis of charge noise based on the Bloch-Redfield treatment of an ensemble of dissipative two-level fluctuators generally results in a violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The standard Markov approximation (when applied…
The semiclassical equations of motion for a Bloch electron include an anomalous velocity term analogous to a $k$-space "Lorentz force", with the Berry connection playing the role of a vector potential. By examining the adiabatic evolution…

We examine Bousso's covariant entropy bound conjecture in the context of radiation filled, spatially flat, Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models. The bound is violated near the big bang. However, the hope has been that quantum gravity effects…
In a one-parameter study of a noninvertible family of maps of the plane arising in the context of a numerical integration scheme, Lorenz studied a sequence of transitions from an attracting fixed point to "computational chaos." As part of…
We study the effects of quantum fluctuations in the two-component Bose-Hubbard model generalizing to mixtures the quantum Gutzwiller approach introduced recently in [Phys. Rev. Research 2, 033276 (2020)]. As a basis for our study, we…
A dynamical quantum phase transition can occur during time evolution of sudden quenched quantum systems across a phase transition. It corresponds to the nonanalytic behavior at a critical time of the rate function of the quantum state…
The interface between a solid and vacuum can become electronically distinct from the bulk. This feature, encountered in the case of quantum Hall effect, has a manifestation in insulators with topologically protected metallic surface states.…
The existence of a minimal and fundamental length scale, say, the Planck length, is a characteristic feature of almost all the models of quantum gravity. The presence of the fundamental length is expected to lead to an improved ultra-violet…
The standard Bloch oscillation normally refers to the oscillatory tunneling dynamics of quantum particles in a periodic lattice plus a linear gradient. In this work we theoretically investigate the generalized form of the Bloch oscillation…
A topological formulation of the eigenspace anholonomy, where eigenspaces are interchanged by adiabatic cycles, is introduced. The anholonomy in two-level systems is identified with a disclination of the director (headless vector) of a…
In gratings travelling at nearly the velocity of light a symmetry breaking transition is observed between free-flowing fluid-like Bloch waves observed at lower grating velocities and, at luminal velocities, condensed, localised states of…
We extend our theory of Bloch oscillations of cold atoms inside an optical cavity [ Venkatesh et al. Phys. Rev. A 80 063834 (2009)] to include the effects of quantum noise arising from coupling to external modes. The noise acts as a form of…
A model for nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory is constructed for the infinite dimensional Hubbard lattice. We impose nonequilibrium by expressing the physical orbital as a superposition of a left-($L$) moving and right-($R$) moving…
