We discuss the effects of many-body coherence on the speed of evolution of ultracold atomic gases and the relation to quantum speed limits. Our approach is focused on two related systems, spinless fermions and the bosonic Tonks-Girardeau…

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.…

Setting the minimal-time bound for a quantum system to evolve between two distinguishable states, the quantum speed limit (QSL) characterizes the latent capability in speeding up of the system. It has found applications in determining the…
