• Abstract: The opportunity to build quantum technologies operating with elementary quantum systems with more than two levels is now increasingly being examined, not least because of the availability of such systems in the laboratory. It is therefore essential to understand how these single systems initially in highly non-classical states decohere on different time scales due to their coupling with the environment. In this work, we consider the depolarization, both isotropic and anisotropic, of a quantum spin of arbitrary spin quantum number $j$ and focus on the study of the most superdecoherent states. We approach this problem from the perspective of the collective dynamics of a system of $N=2j$ constituent spin-$1/2$, initially in a symmetric state, undergoing collective depolarization. This allows us to use the powerful language of quantum information theory to analyze the fading of quantum properties of spin states caused by depolarization. In this framework, we establish a precise link between superdecoherence and entanglement. We present extensive numerical results on the scaling of the entanglement survival time with the Hilbert space dimension for collective depolarization. We also highlight the specific role played by anticoherent spin states and show how their Markovian isotropic depolarization alone can lead to the generation of bound entangled states.

  We investigate the impact of introducing a local cavity within the center of a topological chain. This cavity induces a scissor-like effect that bisects the chain, liberating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) within the bulk. By leveraging the symmetry properties of fermion modes within a two-site cavity, we propose a novel method for generating MZM-polariton Schr"odinger cat states.

This unique coupling is found to enable control over the equilibrium magnon squeezing and a deterministic generation of squeezed even Fock states.

  We show how to enhance the precision of measurements beyond the standard quantum limit. To do so, one can reshape the quantum projection noise -- a strategy known as squeezing. We present two independent refinements: first, using a multistep spin-squeezing protocol allows us to further enhance the squeezing by approximately 1 dB, and second, leveraging Floquet engineering to realize Heisenberg interactions.

• Probing quantum entanglement from magnetic-sublevels populations: beyond spin squeezing inequalities [0.0]
  Spin squeezing inequalities (SSI) represent a major tool to probe quantum entanglement among a collection of few-level atoms. Many experiments can image the populations in all Zeeman sublevels $s=-j, -j+1, dots, j$, potentially revealing finer features of quantum entanglement not captured by SSI. Here we present a systematic approach which exploits Zeeman-sublevel population measurements in order to construct novel entanglement criteria.
