We propose a simple method to calculate transition time in a two-state scattering problem, where two constant potentials are coupled by a delta function potential $V_{12}=V_{21}=k_0 \delta(x)$. The exact analytical expression for the time…

Quantum speed limit time (QSLT) can be used to characterize the intrinsic minimal time interval for a quantum system evolving from an initial state to a target state. We investigate the QSLT of the open system in Schwarzschild space-time.…

The minimum time required for a quantum system to evolve from an arbitrary initial state to its orthogonal state is known as the quantum speed limit (QSL) time. In this work, we consider the model in which a single qubit moves inside a…

Within gauge/gravity duality, we consider the local quench-like time evolution obtained by joining two 1+1-dimensional heat baths at different temperatures at time t=0. A steady state forms and expands in space. For the 2+1-dimensional…

We expand upon the standard quantum adiabatic theorem, examining the time-dependence of quantum evolution in the near-adiabatic limit. We examine a Hamiltonian that evolves along some fixed trajectory from $\hat{H}_0$ to $\hat{H}_1$ in a…

The quantum speed limit sets a bound on the minimum time required for a quantum system to evolve between two states. For open quantum systems this quantity depends on the dynamical map describing the time evolution in presence of the…
