• Authors: Natasha Feinstein, Ivan Shalashilin, Sougato Bose and Paul Warburton
• Abstract summary: We study the sensitivity of any potential enhancement to changes in the anneal time as well as any parameters involved in the manipulation of the spectrum. We find that there is a trade-off between the precision needed in the catalyst strength and the anneal time in order to maintain the enhancement to the final ground state fidelity.

• Abstract: In adiabatic quantum annealing, the speed with which an anneal can be run, while still achieving a high final ground state fidelity, is dictated by the size of the minimum gap that appears between the ground and first excited state in the annealing spectrum. To avoid the exponential slowdown associated with exponentially closing gaps, diabatic transitions to higher energy levels may be exploited in such a way that the system returns to the ground state before the end of the anneal. In certain cases, this is facilitated by the original annealing spectrum. However, there are also examples where careful manipulation of the annealing Hamiltonian has been used to alter the spectrum to create a diabatic path to the ground state. Since diabatic transitions depend on the evolution rate and the gap sizes in the spectrum, it is important to consider the sensitivity of any potential enhancement to changes in the anneal time as well as any parameters involved in the manipulation of the spectrum. We explore this sensitivity using annealing spectra containing an exponentially closing gap and an additional, tuneable, small gap created by a catalyst. We find that there is a trade-off between the precision needed in the catalyst strength and the anneal time in order to maintain the enhancement to the final ground state fidelity.

• Oscillating-mode gap: an indicator of phase transition in open quantum many-body systems [0.0]
  It presents a significant challenge to elucidate the relationship between the phases of open quantum many-body systems and their governing Liouvillian. Previous studies have focused on the Liouvillian gap, defined as the decay rate of the most slowly-decaying mode, as a key indicator of dissipative phase transition. We propose an additional spectral gap, termed the oscillating-mode gap, defined as the decay rate of the most slowly-decaying oscillating mode.

  coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

We find that diverging from the well-established Dicke paradigm of equal all-to-all interactions significantly modifies the emission properties.

  We propose a strategy combining the advantages of frequency modulation spectroscopy with the reduced noise properties accessible by squeezing the probe state. A homodyne detection scheme allows the simultaneous measurement of the absorption at multiple frequencies. We predict a significant enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio that scales exponentially with the squeezing factor.

  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.
