The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

Quantum coherence and quantum correlations are of fundamental and practical significance
for the development of quantum mechanics. They are also cornerstones of quantum …

This is a textbook about quantum walks and quantum search algorithms. The readers will
take advantage of the pedagogical aspects and learn the topics faster and make less effort …

Shor's factoring algorithm provides a superpolynomial speedup over all known classical
factoring algorithms. Here, we address the question of which quantum properties fuel this …

Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability is a quantum analog of phase space probability of
classical statistical mechanics, allowing negative or/and nonreal values. It gives an …

We introduce a simple but efficient electronic fitness function (EFF) that describes the
electronic aspect of the thermoelectric performance. This EFF finds materials that overcome …

We propose to use the steered quantum coherence (SQC) as a signature of quantum phase
transitions (QPTs). By considering various spin chain models, including the transverse-field …

Half-Heusler compounds are a very large class of materials that have received attention as
promising high-temperature thermoelectric materials due to their favorable electrical …

Pseudorandom quantum states (PRSs) and pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) possess the
dual nature of being efficiently constructible while appearing completely random to any …

The adiabatic theorem provides sufficient conditions for the time needed to prepare a target
ground state. While it is possible to prepare a target state much faster with more general …
