Generalized information theoretic measure to discern the quantumness of correlations.

Published: April 2008

A novel measure, quantumness of correlations Q_AB is introduced here for bipartite states, by incorporating the required measurement scheme crucial in defining any such quantity. Quantumness coincides with the previously proposed measures in special cases and it vanishes for separable states--a feature not captured by the measures proposed earlier. It is found that an optimal generalized measurement on one of the parts leaves the overall state in its closest separable form, which shares the same marginal for the other part, implying that Q_AB is nonzero for all entangled bipartite states and it serves as an upper bound to the relative entropy of entanglement.

Contextuality is a hallmark feature of the quantum theory that captures its incompatibility with any noncontextual hidden-variable model. The Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)-type paradoxes are proofs of contextuality that reveal this incompatibility with deterministic logical arguments. However, the GHZ-type paradox whose events can be included in the fewest contexts and that brings the strongest nonclassicality remains elusive.

Quantum Analog of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert Dynamics.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

Uppsala University, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Box 516, SE-751 20 Uppsala, Sweden.

The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) and Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equations play an essential role for describing the dynamics of magnetization in solids. While a quantum analog of the LL dynamics has been proposed in [Phys. Rev.

The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is a fundamental model, which is drawing increasing interest because of recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies of 2D materials. Current understanding of the ground state of the 2DEG relies on quantum Monte Carlo calculations, based on variational comparisons of different Ansätze for different phases. We use a single variational ansatz, a general backflow-type wave function using a message-passing neural quantum state architecture, for a unified description across the entire density range.

The tetragonal heavy-fermion superconductor CeRh_{2}As_{2} (T_{c}=0.3  K) exhibits an exceptionally high critical field of 14 T for B∥c. It undergoes a field-driven first-order phase transition between superconducting states, potentially transitioning from spin-singlet to spin-triplet superconductivity.

Symmetry: A Fundamental Resource for Quantum Coherence and Metrology.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

Ens de Lyon, Université Lyon, CNRS, Laboratoire de Physique, F-69342 Lyon, France.

We introduce a new paradigm for the preparation of deeply entangled states useful for quantum metrology. We show that, when the quantum state is an eigenstate of an operator A, observables G which are completely off diagonal with respect to A have purely quantum fluctuations, as quantified by the quantum Fisher information, namely, F_{Q}(G)=4⟨G^{2}⟩. This property holds regardless of the purity of the quantum state, and it implies that off-diagonal fluctuations represent a metrological resource for phase estimation.
