In the jamming transition of monodisperse packings, spatial heterogeneity is irrelevant as the transition is described by mean-field theories. Here, we show that this situation drastically changes if the particle-size dispersity is large…

High-fidelity state transfer is fundamentally limited by time-reversal symmetry: one qubit emits a photon with a certain temporal pulse shape, whereas a second qubit requires the time-reversed pulse shape to efficiently absorb this photon.…
We show that photon wave packets can be manipulated and reshaped in various ways by a quantum junction comprising a set of three-level atoms coupling two waveguides. We consider atomic nodes with the $\Lambda$-scheme of allowed optical…

It is now widely accepted that quenches through the critical region of quantum phase transitions result in post-transition states populated with topological defects -- analogs of the classical topological defects. However, consequences of…
Quantum entanglement and coherence are two fundamental resources for quantum information processing. Recent results clearly demonstrate their relevance in quantum technological tasks, including quantum communication and quantum algorithms.…
We suppose that a structure working as a quantum switch will be a significant element of future networks realizing transmissions of quantum information. In this chapter we analyze a process of switch's operating -- especially in systems…
The coherence between quantum states with different particle numbers --- the Fock-space coherence --- qualitatively differs from the more common Hilbert-space coherence between states with equal particle numbers. For a quantum dot with…
