• Abstract: We show that quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements can be used to realize measurement-based imaginary time evolution. In our proposed scheme, repeated weak QND measurements are used to estimate the energy of a given Hamiltonian. Based on this estimated energy, adaptive unitary operations are applied such that only the targeted energy eigenstates are fixed points of the evolution. In this way, the system is deterministically driven towards the desired state. The nonlinear nature of the QND measurement, which allows for producing interactions between systems, is explicitly derived in terms of measurement operators. We show that for suitable interaction times, single qubit QND Hamiltonians can be converted to effective multi-qubit imaginary time operations. We illustrate our techniques with the example of preparing a four qubit cluster state, which is prepared using only collective single qubit QND measurements and single qubit adaptive operations.

In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.

• Non-destructively probing the thermodynamics of quantum systems with qumodes [0.6144680854063939]
  In quantum systems there is often a destruction of the system itself due to the means of measurement. One approach to circumventing this is the use of ancillary probes that couple to the system under investigation. We highlight means by which continuous variable quantum modes (qumodes) can be employed to probe the thermodynamics of quantum systems in and out of equilibrium.
