• Title: Beyond the parametric approximation: pump depletion, entanglement and squeezing in macroscopic down-conversion
• Authors: Karthik Chinni, Nicol\'as Quesada
• Abstract summary: We study the dynamics of the pump mode in the down-conversion Hamiltonian. We focus on the properties of the pump-mode such as depletion, entanglement, and squeezing for an experimentally relevant initial state. We also study the photon-number statistics of the pump and the signal/idler modes to understand the general behaviour of these modes for experimentally relevant time scales.

• Abstract: We study the dynamics of the pump mode in the down-conversion Hamiltonian using the cumulant expansion method, perturbation theory, and the full numerical simulation of systems with a pump mean photon number of up to one hundred thousand. We particularly focus on the properties of the pump-mode such as depletion, entanglement, and squeezing for an experimentally relevant initial state in which the pump mode is initialized in a coherent state. Through this analysis, we obtain the short-time behaviour of various quantities and derive timescales at which the above-mentioned features, which cannot be understood through the parametric approximation, originate in the system. We also provide an entanglement witness involving moments of bosonic operators that can capture the entanglement of the pump mode. Finally, we study the photon-number statistics of the pump and the signal/idler modes to understand the general behaviour of these modes for experimentally relevant time scales.

• Disorder-induced topological pumping on a superconducting quantum processor [22.437412238586404]
  Thouless pumping represents the quantized charge pumped during an adiabatic cyclic evolution. With a 41-qubit superconducting quantum processor, we develop a Floquet engineering technique to realize cycles of adiabatic pumping. We observe Thouless pumping in the presence of disorder and show its breakdown as the strength of disorder increases.

  Thouless pumping represents a powerful concept to probe quantized topological invariants in quantum systems. We show that sufficiently large intersite interactions allow for an interaction-induced recovery of Thouless pumps. Our results provide a new mechanism to stabilize Thouless pumps in interacting quantum systems.

  We consider adiabatic quantum pumping through a resonant level model, a single-level quantum dot connected to two fermionic leads. We develop a consistent thermodynamic description of this model accounting for the variation of the energy level of the dot and the tunnelling rates with the thermal baths.

• Improving quantum dot based single-photon source with continuous measurements [0.0]
  We propose a technique to improve the probability of single-photon emission with an electrically pumped quantum dot in an optical microcavity. The goal is to boost the probability of single-photon emission while bounding the probability of two or more photons. We show that even a simple threshold-based feedback scheme using measurements at a single time can improve performance over deterministic (open-loop) pumping.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.

• Topological pumping assisted by Bloch oscillations [6.0202126834639484]
  We extend quantum pumping in one-dimensional lattices by adding a tilted potential to probe better nontrivial bands. This extension leads to almost perfectly quantized pumping for an arbitrary initial state selected in a band of interest, including Bloch states. Our study offers a straightforward approach to yield quantized pumping, and it is useful for probing topological phase transitions.
