Energy storage is a basic physical process with many applications. When considering this task at the quantum scale, it becomes important to optimise the non-equilibrium dynamics of energy transfer to the storage device or battery. Here, we…

Semiconductor quantum dots can emit antibunched, single photons on demand with narrow linewidths. However, the observed linewidths are broader than lifetime measurements predict, due to spin and charge noise in the environment. This noise…

We exploit the concept of Landau-Zener transitions at avoided energy crossings as a quantum-control tool. In an avoided crossing the two quantum states interchange their characteristics as an external parameter is varied. Depending on the…
Coherent feedback is a non-measurement based, hence a back-action free, method of control for quantum systems. A typical application of this control scheme is squeezing enhancement, a purely non-classical effect in quantum optics. In this…
A new method for doing feedback control of single quantum systems was proposed. Instead of feeding back precisely the process output, a cloning machine served to obtain the feedback signal and the output. A simple example was given to…
