• Abstract summary: Quantum transport in a one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic lattice with mobility edges is explored. We first investigate the adiabatic pumping between left and right edge modes by resorting to two edge-bulk-edge channels. We also consider the transfer between excitations at both boundaries of the lattice and an anomalous phenomenon characterized by the enhanced quasidisorder contributing to the excitation transfer.

• Abstract: Quantum transport in a one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic lattice with mobility edges is explored. We first investigate the adiabatic pumping between left and right edge modes by resorting to two edge-bulk-edge channels and demonstrate that the success or failure of the adiabatic pumping depends on whether the corresponding bulk subchannel undergoes a localization-delocalization transition. Compared with the paradigmatic Aubry-Andr\'e (AA) model, the introduction of mobility edges triggers an opposite outcome for successful pumping in the two channels, showing a discrepancy of critical condition, and facilitates the robustness of the adiabatic pumping against quasidisorder. We also consider the transfer between excitations at both boundaries of the lattice and an anomalous phenomenon characterized by the enhanced quasidisorder contributing to the excitation transfer is found. Furthermore, there exists a parametric regime where a nonreciprocal effect emerges in the presence of mobility edges, which leads to a unidirectional transport for the excitation transfer and enables potential applications in the engineering of quantum diodes.

  We investigate the efficiency of approximate counterdiabatic driving (CD) in accelerating adiabatic passage through a first-order quantum phase transition. Our results demonstrate that local CD strategies have limited effectiveness when crossing the extremely small gaps characteristic of NP-hard Ising problems. To address this limitation, we propose an alternative method, termed quantum brachistochrone counterdiabatic driving (QBCD)

  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.

Two types of phase transition occur as the rate of these control operations is increased: a measurement-induced entanglement transition, and a directed percolation transition into the absorbing state.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.

  We study an open Heisenberg XXZ spin chain with long-range Ising-type interaction. We find that the chain lengths for this transition are increasing with decreasing range of the Ising-type interactions between distant spins. The transition can be explained by the suppression of ferromagnetic domains at the edges of the chain.
