Recent experiments show ~0.1 ms coherence time for a single electron charge qubit on a solid neon surface. This remarkably long coherence time is believed to result from the intrinsic purity of solid neon as a qubit host. In this paper, we…

We introduce a concept of non-coherent evolution of macroscopic quantum systems. We show that for weakly interacting systems such evolution is a Markovian stochastic process. The transition rates between system states, which characterize…

In coherent radiation of an ensemble of electrons, radiation field from electrons resonantly drives the other electrons inside to produce stimulated emission. The radiation reaction force on the electrons accounting for this stimulated…
We investigate the real-time dynamics of photoexcited electronic instabilities in a charge-transfer system model, using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method. The model of choice was the quarter-filled…
The conventional conception of decoherence relies on the interaction with an external set of degrees of freedom - the 'bath' - to which the system loses quantum information. But the role of the bath can be played too by any internal degrees…
In a network of interacting quantum systems achieving fast coherent energy transfer is a challenging task. While quantum systems are susceptible to a wide range of environmental factors, in many physical settings their interactions with…
