Quantum optimal control, a toolbox for devising and implementing the shapes of external
fields that accomplish given tasks in the operation of a quantum device in the best way …

A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast routes to the final results of slow, adiabatic changes
of the controlling parameters of a system. The shortcuts are designed by a set of analytical …

Open quantum systems (OQSs) cannot always be described with the Markov approximation,
which requires a large separation of system and environment time scales. An overview is …

In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials, such as
MoS 2, WS 2, MoSe 2, and WSe 2, have received extensive attention in the past decade due …

This book introduces the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics, with a focus on its
relation to quantum information and its implications for quantum computers and next …

Optimization, sampling and machine learning are topics of broad interest that have inspired
significant developments and new approaches in quantum computing. One such approach …

The study of quantum thermal machines, and more generally of open quantum systems,
often relies on master equations. Two approaches are mainly followed. On the one hand …

The observation of an unequivocal quantum speedup remains an elusive objective for
quantum computing. A more modest goal is to demonstrate a scaling advantage over a class …
