• Abstract: Coined discrete-time quantum walks are studied using simple deterministic dynamical systems as coins whose classical limit can range from being integrable to chaotic. It is shown that a Loschmidt echo like fidelity plays a central role and when the coin is chaotic this is approximately the characteristic function of a classical random walker. Thus the classical binomial distribution arises as a limit of the quantum walk and the walker exhibits diffusive growth before eventually becoming ballistic. The coin-walker entanglement growth is shown to be logarithmic in time as in the case of many-body localization and coupled kicked rotors, and saturates to a value that depends on the relative coin and walker space dimensions. In a coin dominated scenario, the chaos can thermalize the quantum walk to typical random states such that the entanglement saturates at the Haar averaged Page value, unlike in a walker dominated case when atypical states seem to be produced.

  Quantum heat engines and refrigerators are open quantum systems, whose dynamics can be well understood using a non-Hermitian formalism. We demonstrate, using a Paul-trapped ultracold ion, the first chiral quantum heating and refrigeration by dynamically encircling a closed loop. Our experiments have revealed that not only the adiabaticity-breakdown but also the Landau-Zener-St"uckelberg process play an essential role during dynamic encircling.

  Parrondo's paradox is a phenomenon where a combination of losing strategies becomes a winning strategy. Unlike traditional quantum steps that allow for equal magnitude forward and backward strides based on the outcome of the coin-toss, the steps employed here permit the strides to be of unequal magnitude.

• Probing quantum chaos with the entropy of decoherent histories [0.0]
  Quantum chaos, a phenomenon that began to be studied in the last century, still does not have a rigorous understanding. We propose the quantum chaos definition in the manner similar to the classical one using decoherent histories as a quantum analogue of trajectories. We show that for such a model, the production of entropy of decoherent histories is radically different in integrable and chaotic regimes.

• Coined quantum walks on the line: Disorder, entanglement, and localization [0.0]
  We consider quantum walks on the line and explore the effects of quenched disorder in the coin operations. We find that the mixing properties of the walk are altered nontrivially with mixing being improved at short time scales. We observe that, generically, coin disorder decreases the coin-walker entanglement and that the localization leaves distinct traces in the entanglement entropy and the entanglement negativity of the coined quantum walk.

The proposed distance is invariant with respect to permutations of the qudits and unitary operations acting on one qudit. We also propose a generalization of the Lipschitz constant to quantum observables.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
