Authors: Muñoz de las Heras, A.; Carusotto, I. Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/12/29 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.063523 Abstract: In this work we propose and theoretically characterize optical isolators consisting of an all-dielectric and nonmagnetic resonator featuring an intensity-dependent refractive index and a strong coherent field propagating in a single direction. Such devices can be straightforwardly [...]

Authors: Garcia-Molina, Paula; Rodriguez-Mediavilla, Javier; Jose Garcia-Ripoll, Juan Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/01/31 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.105.012433 Abstract: In this work we develop a highly efficient representation of functions and differential operators based on Fourier analysis. Using this representation, we create a variational hybrid quantum algorithm to solve static, Schrodinger-type, Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs), [...]

Authors: Casado, A. Agusti; Sabin, C. Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/02/03 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.105.022401 Abstract: In this work we study the production and swapping of non-Gaussian multipartite entanglement in a setup containing a parametric amplifier which generates three photons in different modes coupled to three qubits. We prove that the entanglement generated in this [...]

Authors: Kirkova, Aleksandrina, V; Porras, Diego; Ivanov, Peter A. Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/03/25 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.105.032444 Abstract: We investigate signatures of chaos and equilibration in the quantum Rabi model, which exhibits a quantum phase transition when the ratio of the atomic level-splitting to bosonic frequency grows to infinity. We show that the out-of-time-order [...]

Authors: Gomez-Leon, Alvaro; Ramos, Tomas; Porras, Diego; Gonzalez-Tudela, Alejandro Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/05/26 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.105.052223 Abstract: The unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (nonunitary) dynamics, which can be radically different from closed-system scenarios. Such open quantum system dynamics is generally described by Lindblad master equations, [...]

Authors: Vivas-Viana, Alejandro; Gonzalez-Tudela, Alejandro; Sanchez Munoz, Carlos Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/07/22 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.012217 Abstract: Virtual states are a central concept in quantum mechanics. By definition, the probability of finding a quantum system in a virtual state should be vanishingly small at all times. In contrast to this notion, we report a [...]

Authors: Gomez-Leon, Alvaro; Ramos, Tomas; Gonzalez-Tudela, Alejandro; Porras, Diego Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/07/25 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.L011501 Abstract: We relate observables in open quantum systems with the topology of non-Hermitian models using the Keldysh path-integral method. This allows to extract an effective Hamiltonian from the Green's function which contains all the relevant topological information [...]

Authors: Gomez-Leon, Alvaro Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW A Publication date: 2022/08/15 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.022609 Abstract: We study photon-mediated interactions between molecular spin qudits in the dispersive regime of operation. We derive from a microscopic model the effective interaction between molecular spins, including their crystal field anisotropy (i.e., the presence of nonlinear spin terms) and their multilevel structure. [...]
