• Abstract: The primary consideration in developing new material platforms for quantum applications is to optimize coherence. Despite its importance, decoherence processes remains challenging to experimentally interrogate and quantify. In this Perspective, we first introduce the concept of decoherence in quantum systems and conventional techniques to assess decoherence at optical frequencies. We then introduce multidimensional coherent spectroscopy as a unique probe capable of revealing the full complexity of decoherence dynamics in realistic circumstances. To contextualize the techniques discussed here, demonstrative examples in two prototypical quantum systems, namely colloidal nanocrystals and vacancy centers in diamond, are provided.

  Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a quantum system driven across a quantum phase transition is an important problem. We develop a universal description of such coarsening dynamics and their interplay with the Kibble-Zurek mechanism. We highlight how such coarsening dynamics can be directly studied in today's "synthetic" quantum many-body systems.

  We focus on exploring the characterisation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen inference (a.k.a. steering) A signature of non-classicality manifested when one or more parties in a Bell scenario have their systems and measurements described by quantum theory, rather than being treated as black boxes. We show that so-called almost quantum assemblages satisfy the principle of macroscopic noncontextuality, and demonstrate that a subset of almost quantum correlations recover almost quantum assemblages in this approach.
