• Abstract: We study the dynamics of a quantum walker simultaneously subjected to time-independent and -dependent phases. Such dynamics emulates a charged quantum particle in a lattice subjected to a superposition of static and harmonic electric fields. With proper settings, we investigate the possibility to induce Bloch-like super-oscillations, resulting from a close tuning of the frequency of the harmonic phase $\omega$ and that associated with the regular Bloch-like oscillations $\omega_B$ . By exploring the frequency spectra of the wavepacket centroid, we are able to distinguish the regimes on which regular and super-Bloch oscillations are predominant. Furthermore, we show that under exact resonant conditions $\omega=\omega_B$ unidirectional motion is established with the wavepacket average velocity being a function of the quantum walk coin operator parameter, the relative strengths of the static and harmonic terms, as well as the own phase of the harmonic phase. We show that the average drift velocity can be well described within a continuous-time analogous model.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We develop a general theoretical framework to dynamically engineer quantum correlations in the frequency-comb emission from an array of superconducting qubits in a waveguide. We demonstrate, that when the resonance of the two qubits are periodically modulated with a $pi$ phase shift, it is possible to realize simultaneous bunching and antibunching in cross-correlations of the scattered photons from different sidebands.

We analyze the second-order topological corner modes that arise when an in-plane magnetic field is applied. We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
