• Abstract summary: We derive generalized quantum speed limits on the rate of change of the expectation values of observables. These bounds subsume and, for Hilbert space dimension $geq 3$, tighten existing bounds. The generalized bounds can be used to design "fast" Hamiltonians that enable the rapid driving of the expectation values of observables.

• Abstract: Leveraging quantum information geometry, we derive generalized quantum speed limits on the rate of change of the expectation values of observables. These bounds subsume and, for Hilbert space dimension $\geq 3$, tighten existing bounds -- in some cases by an arbitrarily large multiplicative constant. The generalized bounds can be used to design "fast" Hamiltonians that enable the rapid driving of the expectation values of observables with potential applications e.g.~to quantum annealing, optimal control, variational quantum algorithms, and quantum sensing. Our theoretical results are supported by illustrative examples and an experimental demonstration using a superconducting qutrit. Possibly of independent interest, along the way to one of our bounds we derive a novel upper bound on the generalized quantum Fisher information with respect to time (including the standard symmetric logarithmic derivative quantum Fisher information) for unitary dynamics in terms of the variance of the associated Hamiltonian and the condition number of the density matrix.

• Quantum highway: Observation of minimal and maximal speed limits for few and many-body states [19.181412608418608]
  Inspired by the energy-time uncertainty principle, bounds have been demonstrated on the maximal speed at which a quantum state can change. We show that one can test the known quantum speed limits and that modifying a single Hamiltonian parameter allows the observation of the crossover of the different bounds on the dynamics.

• Quantum speed limit for Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities [0.0]
  We derive quantum speed limits for two-time correlation functions arising from statistics of measurements. Our quantum speed limits are derived from the Heisenberg-Robertson uncertainty relation, and set the minimal time at which a quasiprobability can become non-positive. As an illustrative example, we apply these results to a conditional quantum gate, by determining the optimal condition giving rise to non-classicality at maximum speed.

• Upper limit on the acceleration of a quantum evolution in projective Hilbert space [0.0]
  We derive an upper bound for the rate of change of the speed of transportation in an arbitrary finite-dimensional projective Hilbert space. We show that the acceleration squared of a quantum evolution in projective space is upper bounded by the variance of the temporal rate of change of the Hamiltonian operator.

  We extend the notion of quantum speed limits to collections of quantum states. For two-qubit systems, we show that the fastest transformation implements two Hadamards and a swap of the qubits simultaneously. For qutrit systems the evolution time depends on the particular type of the unbiased basis.

• Quantum speed limits on operator flows and correlation functions [0.0]
  Quantum speed limits (QSLs) identify fundamental time scales of physical processes by providing lower bounds on the rate of change of a quantum state or the expectation value of an observable. We derive two types of QSLs and assess the existence of a crossover between them, that we illustrate with a qubit and a random matrix Hamiltonian. We further apply our results to the time evolution of autocorrelation functions, obtaining computable constraints on the linear response of quantum systems out of equilibrium and the quantum Fisher information governing the precision in quantum parameter estimation.

• Bandwidth Enables Generalization in Quantum Kernel Models [16.940180366663903]
  Recent results show that generalization of quantum models is hindered by the exponential size of the quantum feature space. We show that changing the value of the bandwidth can take a model from provably not being able to generalize to any target function to good generalization for well-aligned targets.
