Authors: Bello, M.; Platero, G.; Gonzalez-Tudela, A. Journal: PRX QUANTUM Publication date: 2022/03/07 DOI: 10.1103/PRXQuantum.3.010336 Abstract: Waveguide QED has emerged as a powerful analog quantum simulator due to the possibility of mediating versatile spin-spin interactions with tunable sign, range, and even dimerization. Yet, despite their potential, the many-body phases emerging from these systems have only [...]
Authors: Fernandez-Fernandez, D.; Gonzalez-Tudela, A. Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Publication date: 2022/03/14 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.113601 Abstract: Subwavelength atomic arrays, recently labeled as quantum metamaterials, have emerged as an exciting platform for obtaining novel quantum optical phenomena. The strong interference effects in these systems generate subradiant excitations that propagate through the atomic array with very long lifetimes. [...]
Authors: Gonzalez-Tudela, Alejandro Journal: NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/04/01 DOI: 10.1088/1367-2630/ac58b7 Abstract: Recent experimental advances enable the fabrication of photonic lattices in which the light propagates with engineered energy dispersions. When interfaced with quantum emitters, such systems yield strong collective spontaneous emission phenomena, such as perfect sub-radiance, in which the decay into the [...]
Authors: Abah, Obinna; De Chiara, Gabriele; Paternostro, Mauro; Puebla, Ricardo Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW RESEARCH Publication date: 2022/04/22 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.L022017 Abstract: Crossing a quantum critical point in finite time challenges the adiabatic condition due to the closing of the energy gap, which ultimately results in the formation of excitations. Such nonadiabatic excitations are typically deemed detrimental [...]

Upon [...]

Yet, as a Monte Carlo method, SVMC is unsuited for an accurate description of [...]
Authors: Garbe, Louis; Abah, Obinna; Felicetti, Simone; Puebla, Ricardo Journal: QUANTUM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Publication date: 2022/06/15 DOI: 10.1088/2058-9565/ac6ca5 Abstract: Phase transitions represent a compelling tool for classical and quantum sensing applications. It has been demonstrated that quantum sensors can in principle saturate the Heisenberg scaling, the ultimate precision bound allowed by quantum mechanics, in [...]
Authors: Pereira, L.; Garcia-Ripoll, J. J.; Ramos, And T. Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Publication date: 2022/06/29 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.010402 Abstract: We introduce a self-consistent tomography for arbitrary quantum nondemolition (QND) detectors. Based on this, we build a complete physical characterization of the detector, including the measurement processes and a quantification of the fidelity, ideality, and backaction [...]

The negative ions formed in this energy range [...]
