When a quantum particle is launched with a finite velocity in a disordered potential, it may surprisingly come back to its initial position at long times and remain there forever. This phenomenon, dubbed ``quantum boomerang effect'', was…
It is well known that the interaction of quantum systems with the environment reduces the inherent quantum correlations. Under special circumstances the effect of decoherence can be reversed, for example, the interaction modeled by an…
We discuss the effect of correlated noise on the robustness of quantum coherent phenomena. First we consider a simple, toy model to illustrate the effect of such correlations on the decoherence process. Then we show how decoherence rates…
The primary consideration in developing new material platforms for quantum applications is to optimize coherence. Despite its importance, decoherence processes remains challenging to experimentally interrogate and quantify. In this…
We present a nonperturbative approach which allows to evaluate the weak localization correction to the conductivity of disordered conductors in the presence of interactions. The effect of the electron-electron interaction on the…
Decoherence of quantum objects in noisy environments is important in quantum sciences and technologies. It is generally believed that different processes coupled to the same noise source should have similar decoherence behaviors and…
The role of anharmonicity on superconductivity has often been disregarded in the past. Recently, it has been recognized that anharmonic decoherence could play a fundamental role in determining the superconducting properties (electron-phonon…
How quantum coherence influences thermodynamic behavior remains an open question in quantum thermodynamics. Here we investigate this relation within the pure dephasing framework, where a central qubit interacts with a finite Ising-like spin…
Or: ``How to generate an ensemble in a single event?'' Following recent work on entropy in strong interactions, I explain the concept of environment-induced quantum decoherence in elementary quantum mechanics. The classically chaotic…
The decoherence rate of a quantum dot coupled to a fluctuating environment described by a normal-metal superconductor junction is considered. The density-density correlator at low frequencies constitutes the kernel which enters the…
Decoherence in quantum bit circuits is presently a major limitation to their use for quantum computing purposes. We present experiments, inspired from NMR, that characterise decoherence in a particular superconducting quantum bit circuit,…
We consider the quantum dynamics of two spin-1/2 systems, each coupled to a bath of oscillators, so that a bath-mediated coupling is generated between the spins. We find that the interactions destroys any coherent motion of the 2 spins,…
We study the loss of spatial coherence in the extended wave function of fullerenes due to collisions with background gases. From the gradual suppression of quantum interference with increasing gas pressure we are able to support…
Decoherence for a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide with a two-level system inside one of resonators, induced by their interaction with corresponding environments, is investigated. Each environment is modeled as a continuum of…
In this note, we reexamine decoherence effects in quantum field theories with gravity duals. The thought experiment proposed in \cite{DSW_22, DSW_23}, which reveals novel decoherence patterns associated with black holes, also manifests…
We investigate the effect of electron-electron interactions on the transport properties of disordered quasi one-dimensional quantum wires with two or more subbands occupied. We apply two alternative methods to solve the logarithmic…
The ability to live in coherent superpositions is a signature trait of quantum systems and constitutes an irreplaceable resource for quantum-enhanced technologies. However, decoherence effects usually destroy quantum superpositions. It has…
The conventional conception of decoherence relies on the interaction with an external set of degrees of freedom - the 'bath' - to which the system loses quantum information. But the role of the bath can be played too by any internal degrees…
Quantum coherence profoundly alters classical thermodynamic expectations by modifying the structure and accessibility of probability distributions. Classically, transitions to lower-entropy states (local second-law violations) are…
We derive and analyze the Born-Markov master equation for a quantum harmonic oscillator interacting with a bath of independent two-level systems. This hitherto virtually unexplored model plays a fundamental role as one of the four…
