- Abstract: We prove a maximal velocity bound for the dynamics of Markovian open quantum
systems. The dynamics are described by one-parameter semi-groups of quantum
channels satisfying the von Neumann-Lindblad equation. Our result says that
dynamically evolving states are contained inside a suitable light cone up to
polynomial errors. We also give a bound on the slope of the light cone, i.e.,
the maximal propagation speed. The result implies an upper bound on the speed
of propagation of local perturbations of stationary states in open quantum
systems.

Speed limits in interacting quantum systems are derived by comparing the rates of change in actual quantum dynamics.

In contrast to the basic Mandelstam-Tamm inequality, we are concerned with a subspace subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
By using the concept of maximal angle between subspaces we derive optimal bounds on the speed of such a subspace evolution.
These bounds may be viewed as further generalizations of the Mandelstam-Tamm inequality.

Two well-known quantum speed limits are the Mandelstam-Tamm and the Margolus-Levitin bounds.
Here, we test concurrently both limits in a multi-level system by following the motion of a single atom in an optical trap.
Our data reveal two different regimes: one where the Mandelstam-Tamm limit constrains the evolution at all times, and a second where a crossover to the Margolus-Levitin limit is manifested at longer times.

We simulate a noisy quantum Fourier transform processor with up to 21 qubits.
We take into account microscopic dissipative processes rather than relying on digital error models.
We show that depending on the dissipative mechanisms at play, the choice of input state has a strong impact on the performance of the quantum algorithm.

In the present work, we are concerned not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional) subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution.
We derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.

We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit.
We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
