Quantum theory sets a bound on the minimal time evolution between initial and target states. This bound is called as quantum speed limit time. It is used to quantify maximal speed of quantum evolution. The quantum evolution will be faster,…
The attempt to gain a theoretical understanding of the concept of time in quantum mechanics has triggered significant progress towards the search for faster and more efficient quantum technologies. One of such advances consists in the…
How multiple observables mutually influence their dynamics has been a crucial issue in statistical mechanics. We introduce a new concept, "quantum velocity limits," to establish a quantitative and rigorous theory for non-equilibrium quantum…
Quantum speed limits such as the Mandelstam-Tamm or Margolus-Levitin bounds offer a quantitative formulation of the energy-time uncertainty principle that constrains dynamics over short times. We show that the spectral form factor, a…
Tracking the time evolution of a quantum state allows one to verify the thermalization rate or the propagation speed of correlations in generic quantum systems. Inspired by the energy-time uncertainty principle, bounds have been…
Any physical system evolves at a finite speed that is constrained not only by the energetic cost but also by the topological structure of the underlying dynamics. In this Letter, by considering such structural information, we derive a…
We propose definitions for covariance and local Lorentz invariance applicable when the speed of light $c$ is allowed to vary. They have the merit of retaining only those aspects of the usual definitions which are invariant under unit…
Area laws are a far-reaching consequence of the locality of physical interactions, and they are relevant in a range of systems, from black holes to quantum many-body systems. Typically, these laws concern the entanglement entropy or the…
We display several examples of how fields with different limiting velocities (the "speed of light") at a high energy scale can nevertheless have a common limiting velocity at low energies due to the effects of interactions. We evaluate the…
We theoretically study the quantum speed limit of a single atom trapped in a Fabry-Perot microresonator. The cavity mode will be squeezed when a driving laser is applied to the second-order nonlinear medium, and the effective Hamiltonian…
We show how quantum correlations allow us to break the local speed limits of physical processes using only local measurements and classical communication between two parties that share an entangled state. Inequalities that bound the minimal…
Coherence is the most fundamental quantum resource in quantum information processing. How fast a physical system gets coherence or decoherence is a critical ingredient. We present an attainable quantum speed limit based on the variation of…
In the well-known EPR paper, Einstein et al. called the nonlocal correlation in quantum entanglement as `spooky action at a distance'. If the spooky action does exist, what is its speed? All previous experiments along this direction have…
The question is discussed of what is the speed of gravity (at the fundamental non-perturbative level). The question is important, if nowhere else, in discussing the problem of information "lost" in black holes. It turns out that the duly…
The quantum speed limit sets a fundamental restriction on the evolution time of quantum systems. We explore the relationship between quantum imaginarity and the quantum speed limit by utilizing measures such as relative entropy, trace…
We cast observable measure of quantum coherence or asymmetry as a resource to control the quantum speed limit (QSL) for unitary evolutions. For non-unitary evolutions, QSL depends on that of the state of the system and environment together.…
In a locally interacting many-body system, two isolated qubits, separated by a large distance $r$, become correlated and entangled with each other at a time $t \ge r/v$. This finite speed $v$ of quantum information scrambling limits quantum…
The motion of a stellar compact object around a supermassive black hole can be approximated by the motion of a spinning test particle. The equations of motion describing such systems are in general non-integrable, and therefore, chaotic…
The presence of noise or the interaction with an environment can radically change the dynamics of observables of an otherwise isolated quantum system. We derive a bound on the speed with which observables of open quantum systems evolve.…
We consider a finite number of particles characterised by their positions and velocities. At random times a randomly chosen particle, the follower, adopts the velocity of another particle, the leader. The follower chooses its leader…
