Published: May 2014

The exact treatment of Markovian open quantum systems, when based on numerical diagonalization of the Liouville super-operator or averaging over quantum trajectories, is severely limited by Hilbert space size. Perturbation theory, standard in the investigation of closed quantum systems, has remained much less developed for open quantum systems where a direct application to the Lindblad master equation is desirable. We present such a perturbative treatment which will be useful for an analytical understanding of open quantum systems and for numerical calculation of system observables which would otherwise be impractical.

Superconducting quantum computing optimization based on multi-objective deep reinforcement learning.

Sci Rep

January 2025

School of Physics, Xi'an Jiaotong University, No.28 Xianning West Road, Xi'an, 710049, Shaanxi, P. R. China.

Deep reinforcement learning is considered an effective technology in quantum optimization and can provide strategies for optimal control of complex quantum systems. More precise measurements require simulation control at multiple experimental stages. Based on this, we improved a multi-objective deep reinforcement learning method in mathematical convex optimization theory for multi-process quantum optimal control optimization.

Cubic silicon-carbide crystals (3C-SiC), known for their high thermal conductivity and in-plane stress, hold significant promise for the development of high-quality (Q) mechanical oscillators. We reveal degeneracy-breaking phenomena in 3C-phase crystalline silicon-carbide membrane and present high-Q mechanical modes in pairs or clusters. The 3C-SiC material demonstrates excellent microwave compatibility with superconducting circuits.

Valley charge-transfer insulator in twisted double bilayer WSe.

Nat Commun

January 2025

National Laboratory of Solid-State Microstructures, Collaborative Innovation Center of Advanced Microstructures, School of Physics, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China.

In flat-band systems, emergent physics can be substantially modified by the presence of another nearby electronic band. For example, a Mott˘Hubbard insulator can turn into a charge transfer insulator if other electronic states enter between the upper and lower Hubbard bands. Here, we introduce twisted double bilayer (TDB) WSe, with twist angles near 60°, as a controllable platform in which the K-valley band can be tuned to close vicinity of the Γ-valley moiré flat band.

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) plays an important role in maintaining redox balance in both natural and engineered anaerobic microbial systems, driving key biochemical processes such as energy generation, bioremediation, and waste degradation. While EET has been characterized in a limited number of microbes and applied in anaerobic digestion and bioelectrochemical systems, further research is needed to explore its mechanism across a broader range of microbial species and anaerobic processes. This review highlights advanced modeling frameworks that provide deeper insights into EET mechanisms and dynamics, aiming to optimize research efforts and minimize time and resource expenditure.
