Motivated by recent experiments with Josephson-junction circuits we reconsider decoherence effects in quantum two-level systems (TLS). On one hand, the experiments demonstrate the importance of 1/f noise, on the other hand, by operating at…
We examine the role of interactions for a Bose gas trapped in a double-well potential ("Bose-Josephson junction") when external noise is applied and the system is initially delocalized with equal probability amplitudes in both sites. The…
We derive the timescale for two initially pure subsystems to become entangled with each other through an arbitrary Hamiltonian that couples them. The entanglement timescale is inversely proportional to the "correlated uncertainty" between…
We study the collective decay of an initially inverted ensemble of two-level emitters in two distinct scenarios: when coupled to a squeezed photonic reservoir and when interacting with a one-dimensional waveguide. Using a quantum-state…
Quantum entanglement manifests as a distinctive correlation between particles that transcends classical boundaries when their quantum states cannot be described independently. On the other hand, as quantum systems interact with their…

The mechanism of decoherence for a quantum system with rotational degrees of freedom is studied. From a simple model of elastic scattering, we show that the non-diagonal density matrix elements of the system exponentially decay. The decay…
The concept of phase and dwell times used in tunneling is extended to quantum collisions to derive a relation between the phase and dwell time delays in scattering. This relation can be used to remove the near threshold s-wave singularities…
We investigate the dynamics of quantum entanglement and more general quantum correlations quantified respectively via negativity and local quantum uncertainty for two qubit systems undergoing Markovian collective dephasing. Focusing on a…
Entanglement freezing has been demonstrated existing in various noisy decoherence mechanisms. Here we explore its universality by investigating freezing behavior in a lossless multiparty system, i.e., an $N$-site optical lattice (or…
There are three key factors of a system of coupled oscillators that characterize the interaction among them: coupling (how to affect), delay (when to affect) and topology (whom to affect). For each of them, the existing work has mainly…
Tunneling two-level systems (TLSs), generic to amorphous solids, dictate the low-temperature properties of amorphous solids and dominate noise and decoherence in quantum nano-devices. The properties of the TLSs are generally described by…
After a quench in a quantum many-body system, expectation values tend to relax towards long-time averages. However, in any finite-size system, temporal fluctuations remain. It is crucial to study the suppression of these fluctuations with…
