The minimum time a system needs to change from an initial state to a final orthogonal state is called quantum speed limit time. Quantum speed limit time can be used to quantify the speed of the quantum evolution. The speed of the quantum…
The meaning of time in an open quantum system is considered under the assumption that both, system and environment, are quantum mechanical objects. The Hamilton operator of the system is non-Hermitian. Its imaginary part is the time…

Recently, the notion of a quantum acceleration limit has been proposed for any unitary time evolution of quantum systems governed by arbitrary nonstationary Hamiltonians. This limit articulates that the rate of change over time of the…
Complexity plays a very important part in quantum computing and simulation where it acts as a measure of the minimal number of gates that are required to implement a unitary circuit. We study the lower bound of the complexity [Eisert, Phys.…

In this paper we introduce a method to find the minimal control time for the null controllability of 1D first-order linear hyperbolic systems by one-sided boundary controls when the coefficients are regular enough.
The controllability of complex networks has received much attention recently, which tells whether we can steer a system from an initial state to any final state within finite time with admissible external inputs. In order to accomplish the…
The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent Hamiltonian (with a discrete spectrum) these conditions ensure the…
We consider a general discrete state-space system with both unidirectional and bidirectional links. In contrast to bidirectional links, there is no reverse transition along the unidirectional links. Herein, we first compute the statistical…
