• Title: Non-Hermitian description of sharp quantum resetting
• Authors: Ranjan Modak and S. Aravinda
• Abstract summary: We study a non-interacting quantum particle, moving on a one-dimensional lattice, which is subjected to repetitive measurements. We investigate the consequence when such motion is interrupted and restarted from the same initial configuration, known as the quantum resetting problem. We show that such systems can be described by the time evolution under certain time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.

• Abstract: We study a non-interacting quantum particle, moving on a one-dimensional lattice, which is subjected to repetitive measurements. We investigate the consequence when such motion is interrupted and restarted from the same initial configuration, known as the quantum resetting problem. We show that such systems can be described by the time evolution under certain time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We construct two such Hamiltonians and compare the results with the exact dynamics. Using this effective non-Hermitian description we evaluate the timescale of the survival probability as well as the optimal resetting time for the system.

  We study how the quantum dynamics transforms into a classical-like behaviour when conditions related with macroscopicity are met by the clock alone. In the description of this emerging behaviour finds its place the classical notion of time, as well as that of phase-space and trajectories on it.

• Time-Dependent Hamiltonian Reconstruction using Continuous Weak Measurements [0.0]
  We experimentally demonstrate that an a priori unknown, time-dependent Hamiltonian can be reconstructed from continuous weak measurements. In contrast to previous work, our technique does not require interruptions, which would distort the recovered Hamiltonian. Our work opens up novel applications for continuous weak measurements, such as studying non-idealities in gates.

  We discuss the short-time perturbative expansion of the linear entropy for finite-dimensional quantum systems. We find that the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian enhances the short-time dynamics of the linear entropy for the considered input states. Our results find applications to non-Hermitian quantum sensing, quantum thermodynamics of non-Hermitian systems, and $mathcalPT$-symmetric quantum field theory.
