• Abstract: We study the effect of frequent projective measurements on the dynamics of quantum self-sustaining systems, by considering the prototypical example of the quantum Van der Pol oscillator. Quantum fluctuations are responsible for phase diffusion which progressively blurs the semiclassical limit cycle dynamics and synchronization, either to an external driving, or between two coupled self-sustained oscillators. We show that by subjecting the system to repeated measurements of heterodyne type at an appropriate repetition frequency one can significantly suppress phase diffusion without spoiling the semiclassical dynamics. This quantum Zeno-like effect may be effective either in the case of one or two coupled van der Pol oscillators, and we discuss its possible implementation in the case of trapped ions.

  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.

  This paper investigates how quantum phase synchronization relates to bipartite Gaussian entanglement in coupled gain-loss mechanical oscillators. We examine the role of exceptional point in a deterministic way of producing self-sustained oscillations that induce robust quantum correlations. These findings hold promise for applications in phonon-based quantum communication and information processing.

  We study how decoherence washes out the fine-grained subPlanck structure associated with phase-space quantum interference in a quantum system. Open quantum dynamics can be more efficiently simulated using a coarse-grained finite-difference numerical integration. We show that this regression does not have the form of a convex noise model, such as for a depolarizing noise channel.

  We re-examine a scheme originally intended to remove the effects of static Doppler broadening from an ensemble of non-interacting two-level systems (qubits) We demonstrate that this scheme is far more powerful and can also protect a single (or even an ensemble) qubit's energy levels from noise which depends on both time and space.

• Interaction-driven breakdown of dynamical localization in a kicked quantum gas [0.0]
  Quantum interference can terminate energy growth in a continually kicked system, via a single-particle ergodicity-breaking mechanism known as dynamical localization. We report the experimental realization of a tunably-interacting kicked quantum rotor ensemble using a Bose-Einstein condensate in a pulsed optical lattice. Results quantitatively elucidate the dynamical transition to many-body quantum chaos, advance our understanding of quantum anomalous diffusion, and delimit some possibilities for protecting quantum information in interacting systems.

  We experimentally prove the feasibility of disordered quantum walks to realize a quantum simulator that is able to model general subdiffusive phenomena. Our experiment simulates such phenomena by means of a finely controlled insertion of various levels of disorder during the evolution of the walker. This allows us to explore the full range of subdiffusive behaviors, ranging from anomalous Anderson localization to normal diffusion.
