Condensed matter physics in big discrete time crystals

P Hannaford, K Sacha - AAPPS Bulletin, 2022 - Springer
We review the application of discrete time crystals created in a Bose-Einstein condensate
(BEC) of ultracold atoms bouncing resonantly on an oscillating atom mirror to the …

Beating the 3 dB limit for intracavity squeezing and its application to nondemolition qubit readout

W Qin, A Miranowicz, F Nori - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
While the squeezing of a propagating field can, in principle, be made arbitrarily strong, the
cavity-field squeezing is subject to the well-known 3 dB limit, and thus has limited …

Phase-modulated single-photon nonreciprocal transport and directional router in a waveguide–cavity–emitter system beyond the chiral coupling

X Wang, WX Yang, AX Chen, L Li, T Shui… - Quantum Science …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a potentially practical scheme for the controllable single-photon transport via
waveguides which are coupled to a microcavity–emitter system. The microcavity–emitter …

Dynamics of transient cat states in degenerate parametric oscillation with and without nonlinear Kerr interactions

RY Teh, FX Sun, RES Polkinghorne, QY He, Q Gong… - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
A cat state is formed as the steady-state solution for the signal mode of an ideal degenerate
parametric oscillator, in the limit of negligible single-photon signal loss. In the presence of …

Coherent Ising machine with quantum feedback: The total and conditional master equation methods

S Kiesewetter, PD Drummond - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS

machine. This is a quantum computational network with feedback, that approximately solves …

Overcoming decoherence of schrödinger cat states formed in a cavity using squeezed-state inputs

RY Teh, PD Drummond, MD Reid - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
A cat state is a superposition of two coherent states with amplitudes α 0 and− α 0. Recent
experiments create cat states in a microwave cavity field using superconducting circuits. As …

Discrete time crystals in Bose-Einstein condensates and the symmetry-breaking edge in a simple two-mode theory

J Wang, K Sacha, P Hannaford, BJ Dalton - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Discrete time crystals (DTCs) refer to a novel many-body steady state that spontaneously
breaks the discrete time-translational symmetry in a periodically driven quantum system …

Phase-space simulations of feedback coherent Ising machines

S Kiesewetter, PD Drummond - Optics Letters, 2022 - opg.optica.org
A new, to the best of our knowledge, technique is demonstrated for carrying out exact
positive-P phase-space simulations of the coherent Ising machine quantum computer. By …

Discrete time crystals and related phenomena

K Sacha, K Sacha - Time crystals, 2020 - Springer
In the present chapter we concentrate on periodically driven systems. Although such
systems possess already discrete time translation symmetry, we will see that this symmetry …
