• Abstract: Recent interest in the physics of non-perturbative light-matter coupling led to the development of solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics setups in which the interaction energies are comparable with the bare ones. In such a regime the ground state of the coupled system becomes interaction-dependent and is predicted to contain a population of virtual excitations which, notwithstanding having been object of many investigations, remain still unobserved. In this paper we investigate how virtual electronic excitations in quantum wells modify the ground-state charge distribution, and propose two methods to measure such a cavity-induced perturbation. The first approach we consider is based on spectroscopic mapping of the electronic population at a specific location in the quantum well using localised defect states. The second approach exploits instead the photonic equivalent of a Kelvin probe to measure the average change distribution across the quantum well. We find both effects observable with present-day or near-future technology. Our results thus provide a route toward a demonstration of cavity-induced modulation of ground-state electronic properties.

  We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution. We observe signatures of the classical Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, as well as strong deviations from Kibble-Zurek scaling predictions. We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  Disorder induced by the unpredictable distribution of material defects is one of the major contributions to the reality gap. We bridge this gap using an approach combining a physical model, deep learning, Gaussian random field, and Bayesian inference. This approach has enabled us to infer the disorder potential of a nanoscale electronic device from electron transport data.

• Decoherence Effects Break Reciprocity in Matter Transport [0.0]
  We present nanoscale devices in which decoherence, modeled by random quantum jumps, produces fundamentally novel phenomena by interrupting the unitary dynamics of electron wave packets. In these devices, the inelastic interaction of itinerant electrons with impurities acting as electron trapping centers leads to a novel steady state characterized by partial charge separation between the two leads. The interface between the quantum and the classical worlds therefore provides a novel transport regime of value for the realization of a new category of mesoscopic electronic devices.
