Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Quantum information processing relies on the precise control of non-classical states in the
presence of many uncontrolled environmental degrees of freedom. The interactions …

Transport phenomena at the nanoscale are of interest due to the presence of both quantum
and classical behavior. In this work, we demonstrate that quantum transport efficiency can …

Spin–orbit coupling is an essential mechanism underlying quantum phenomena such as the
spin Hall effect and topological insulators. It has been widely studied in well-isolated …

Engineered photonic waveguides have provided in the past decade an extremely rich
laboratory tool to visualize with optical waves the classic analogues of a wide variety of …

The chopped random basis (CRAB) ansatz for quantum optimal control has been proven to
be a versatile tool to enable quantum technology applications such as quantum computing …

The quantum Zeno effect is recast in terms of an adiabatic theorem when the measurement
is described as the dynamical coupling to another quantum system that plays the role of …

We report the first observation of the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects in an unstable
system. Cold sodium atoms are trapped in a far-detuned standing wave of light that is …

This paper starts with a brief review of the topic of strong and weak pre-and post-selected
(PPS) quantum measurements, as well as weak values, and afterwards presents original …

If frequent measurements ascertain whether a quantum system is still in its initial state,
transitions to other states are hindered and the quantum Zeno effect takes place. However …
