We investigate quantum synchronization theoretically in a system consisting of two cold ions in microtraps. The ions' motion is damped by a standing-wave laser whilst also being driven by a blue-detuned laser which results in…
We study the synchronization of a van der Pol self-oscillator with Kerr anharmonicity to an external drive. We demonstrate that the anharmonic, discrete energy spectrum of the quantum oscillator leads to multiple resonances in both phase…
In this work, we propose an all-optical stroboscopic scheme to simulate an open quantum system. By incorporating the tritter, consisting of a group of beam splitters, we find the emergence of spontaneous anti-phase synchronization in the…
The nonclassicality of simple spin systems as measured by Wigner negativity is studied on a spherical phase space. Several SU(2)-covariant states with common qubit representations are addressed: spin coherent, spin cat (GHZ/N00N), and Dicke…
Spin-1 tunneling and splitting of energy levels as a result of tunneling are observed explicitly on IBM's quantum computer, ibmq-bogota. The spin-1 is realized with two spins-1/2. We detect oscillations of spin-1 between the states…
We present detailed discussions on a new approach we proposed in a previous paper to numerically study quantum spin systems. This method, which we will call re-structuring method hereafter, is based on rearrangement of intermediate states…
Selftrapping has been traditionally studied on the assumption that quasiparticles interact with harmonic phonons and that this interaction is linear in the displacement of the phonon. To complement recent semiclassical studies of…
It is shown that a spin system is equivalent to a set of constrained harmonic oscillators. For finite, but large, systems, a continuous approximation to the density of states can be used, and the oscillator frequencies can be exactly…
Spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ $^{119}$Sn nuclei in a silicon semiconductor could make excellent qubits. Nuclear spins in silicon are known to have long coherence times. Tin is isoelectronic with silicon, so we expect electrons can easily shuttle from…
General nonequilibrium quantum transport equations are derived for a coupled system of charge carriers, Dirac spin, isospin (or valley spin), and pseudospin, such as either one of the band, layer, impurity, and boundary pseudospins.…
Synchronization occurs ubiquitously in nature. The van der Pol oscillator has been a favorite model to investigate synchronization. Here we study the oscillator in the deep quantum regime, where nonclassical effects dominate the dynamics.…
We consider two interacting electrons in a semiconductor quantum dot structure which consists of a small dot within a larger dot, and demonstrate a singlet-triplet filtering mechanism which involves spin-dependent resonances and can…
We calculate the transfer rate of correlations from polarization entangled photons to the collective spin of a many-electron state in a two-band system. It is shown that when a semiconductor absorbs pairs of photons from a two-mode squeezed…
It is well known that a system with two or more levels exists a limit cycle and can be synchronized with an external drive when the system and the drive are directly coupled. One might wonder if a system can synchronize with the external…
Understanding the interplay between a quantum system and its environment lies at the heart of quantum science and its applications. To-date most efforts have focused on circumventing decoherence induced by the environment by either…
It is commonly assumed that the observation of an interference pattern is incompatible with any information about the path taken by a quantum particle. Here we show that, contrary to this assumption, the experimentally observable effects of…
We show that quantum computation can be performed in a system at thermal equilibrium if a spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs. The computing process is associated to the time evolution of the statistical average of the qubit coherence…
Single electron spins coupled to multiple nuclear spins provide promising multi-qubit registers for quantum sensing and quantum networks. The obtainable level of control is determined by how well the electron spin can be selectively coupled…
A weakly bound electron in a semiconductor quantum wire is shown to become entangled with an itinerant electron via the coulomb interaction. The degree of entanglement and its variation with energy of the injected electron, may be tuned by…
The effect of weak localization on spin relaxation in a two-dimensional system with a spin-split spectrum is considered. It is shown that the spin relaxation slows down due to the interference of electron waves moving along closed paths in…
