Nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics is an intensively developing field with many applications. We study the dynamics of temperatures and chemical potentials of fermionic reservoirs coupled to an open quantum system on a coarse-grained timescale. We show that systematic heat transfer from the cold … [Phys. Rev. A 111, 062204] Published Mon Jun 02, 2025

We argue the feasibility of studying the phase structure of a quantum physical system on quantum devices via adiabatic preparation of states. We introduce a method and successfully test it in application to the Schwinger model in the presence of a topological $θ$ term. We explore the first-order-pha… [Phys. Rev.

2025-06-03         | | Author(s): Graziano Amati and Gregory D. Scholes
In previous work we proposed a construction of quantum-like bits that could endow a large synchronizing classical system, for example, of oscillators, with quantum-like function that is not compromised by decoherence. In the present paper we investigate further this platform of quantum-like states. … [Phys. Rev. A 111, 062203] Published Mon Jun 02, 2025

The authors experimentally and theoretically study the size effects on the electron emission from polystyrene nanoparticles collided by fast ions. They employ a crossed-beam setup to measure the charge-state distributions of nanoparticles following collisions with a wide range of ions.  [Phys. Rev. A 111, 062801] Published Mon Jun 02, 2025

We present new measurements of quantum defects and core polarizabilities in cesium ($^{133}\mathrm{Cs}$), based on transition frequency measurements between Rydberg states ($14≤n≤38$) obtained through THz and radio-frequency spectroscopy in a thermal atomic vapor. We perform a global fitting of our … [Phys. Rev. A 111, 062802] Published Mon Jun 02, 2025

Reconfigurable devices which can implement arbitrary unitary operations are crucial for photonic quantum computation, optical neural networks, and boson sampling. Here, we address the problem of, using multiport interferometers, approximating with a given infidelity any pure-state preparation and an… [Phys. Rev. A 111, 062603] Published Mon Jun 02, 2025

Using second-order perturbation theory in the light-matter interaction, we derive an analytical approximation for the vibronic populations of a diatomic system excited by ultrabroadband frequency-entangled photons and evaluate the population dynamics for different degrees of entanglement between pho… [Phys.

The rotation symmetric bosonic code (RSBC) is a unified framework of practical bosonic codes that have rotation symmetries, such as cat codes and binomial codes. While cat and binomial codes achieve the breakeven point in which the coherence time of the encoded qubits exceeds that of unencoded qubit… [Phys. Rev. A 111, 062402] Published Mon Jun 02, 2025

We study the quantum thermodynamics of a coherent macroscopic electromagnetic field (laser) coupled to a two-level system (qubit) near resonance, from weak- to strong-driving regimes. This combined system is, in turn, weakly coupled to a thermal radiation field and can be described by an autonomous … [Phys. Rev. A 111, 062205] Published Mon Jun 02, 2025
