The [...]

Quantum steering ellipsoids and quantum obesity in critical systems

2025-04-29T11:13:17+02:00Tags: , |

Authors: Rosario, Pedro; Santos, Alan c. Journal: EPL Publication date: 2025/01/01 DOI: 10.1209/0295-5075/ad8f5e Abstract: - Quantum obesity (QO) is a novel function introduced to quantify quantum correlations that go beyond traditional measures like entanglement, while also functioning as an entanglement witness. One of the key strengths of QO lies in its analyticity for arbitrary states [...]

This species is an isomer of the 3-cyano [...]

Pauli weight requirement of the matrix elements in time-evolved local operators: Dependence beyond the equilibration temperature

2025-04-29T11:13:15+02:00Tags: , , , |

Authors: Ramos-Marimon, Carlos; Carignano, Stefano; Tagliacozzo, Luca Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW B Publication date: 2025/03/05 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.111.094301 Abstract: The complexity of simulating the out-of-equilibrium evolution of local operators in the Heisenberg picture is governed by the operator entanglement, which grows linearly in time for generic nonintegrable systems, leading to an exponential increase in computational resources. A [...]

Majorana bound states from cavity embedding in an interacting two-site Kitaev chain

2025-04-29T11:13:14+02:00Tags: , , , |

Authors: Gomez-Leon, Alvaro; Schiro, Marco; Dmytruk, Olesia Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW B Publication date: 2025/04/09 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.111.155410 Abstract: Poor man's Majorana bound states (MBS) arise in minimal Kitaev chains when the parameters are fine-tuned to a sweet spot. We consider an interacting two-site Kitaev chain coupled to a single-mode cavity and show that the sweet spot [...]

Dipole-dipole interactions mediated by a photonic flat band

2025-04-29T11:13:11+02:00Tags: , |

Authors: Di Benedetto, Enrico; Gonzalez-Tudela, Alejandro; Ciccarello, Francesco Journal: QUANTUM Publication date: 2025/03/25 DOI: Abstract: Flat bands (FBs) are energy bands with zero group velocity, which in electronic systems were shown to favor strongly correlated phenomena. Indeed, a FB can be spanned with a basis of strictly localized states, the so called compact localized states [...]

Light-matter correlations in Quantum Floquet engineering of cavity quantum materials

2025-04-29T11:13:10+02:00Tags: , |

Authors: Perez-Gonzalez, Beatriz; Platero, Gloria; Gomez-Leon, Alvaro Journal: QUANTUM Publication date: 2025/02/06 DOI: Abstract: Quantum Floquet engineering (QFE) seeks to generalize the control of quantum systems with classical external fields, widely known as Semi-Classical Floquet engineering (SCFE), to quantum fields. However, to faithfully capture the physics at arbitrary coupling, a gauge-invariant description of light-matter interaction [...]

Linear response theory for cavity QED materials at arbitrary light-matter coupling strengths

2025-04-29T11:13:09+02:00Tags: , , , |

Authors: Roman-Roche, Juan; Gomez-Leon, Alvaro; Luis, Fernando; Zueco, David Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW B Publication date: 2025/01/31 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.111.035156 Abstract: We develop a linear response theory for materials collectively coupled to a cavity that is valid in all regimes of light-matter coupling, including symmetry-broken phases. We present and compare two different approaches. First, we use a [...]

Bound polariton states in the Dicke-Ising model

2025-04-29T11:13:09+02:00Tags: , , |

Leveraging linear response theory, we derive the exact excitations of the system in the thermodynamic limit. Our results [...]

Long-Range Interactions in Weyl-Dense Atomic Arrays Protected from Dissipation and Disorder

2025-04-29T11:13:08+02:00Tags: , |

Authors: Garcia-Elcano, Inaki; Huidobro, Paloma A.; Bravo-Abad, Jorge; Gonzalez-Tudela, Alejandro Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Publication date: 2025/03/28 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.123602 Abstract: Long-range interactions are a key resource in many quantum phenomena and technologies. Free-space photons mediate power-law interactions but lack tunability and suffer from decoherence processes due to their omnidirectional emission. Engineered dielectrics can yield tunable [...]
