Quantum non-Markovianity: characterization, quantification and detection

Á Rivas, SF Huelga, MB Plenio - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the concept of quantum non-
Markovianity, a central theme in the theory of open quantum systems. We introduce the …

Quantum speed limits: from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to optimal quantum control

S Deffner, S Campbell - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
One of the most widely known building blocks of modern physics is Heisenberg's
indeterminacy principle. Among the different statements of this fundamental property of the …

Generalized geometric quantum speed limits

DP Pires, M Cianciaruso, LC Céleri, G Adesso… - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
The attempt to gain a theoretical understanding of the concept of time in quantum mechanics
has triggered significant progress towards the search for faster and more efficient quantum …

Trade-off between speed and cost in shortcuts to adiabaticity

S Campbell, S Deffner - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
Achieving effectively adiabatic dynamics is a ubiquitous goal in almost all areas of quantum
physics. Here, we study the speed with which a quantum system can be driven when …

Quantum speed limit for arbitrary initial states

YJ Zhang, W Han, YJ **a, JP Cao, H Fan - Scientific reports, 2014 - nature.com
The minimal time a system needs to evolve from an initial state to its one orthogonal state is
defined as the quantum speed limit time, which can be used to characterize the maximal …

Speed limits for macroscopic transitions

R Hamazaki - PRX Quantum, 2022 - APS
Speed of state transitions in macroscopic systems is a crucial concept for foundations of
nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as well as various applications in quantum technology …

Quantum speed limit quantified by the changing rate of phase

S Sun, Y Peng, X Hu, Y Zheng - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
The quantum speed limit is important in determining the minimum evolution time of a
quantum system, and thus is essential for quantum community. In this Letter, we derive a …

[HTML][HTML] Quantum coherence sets the quantum speed limit for mixed states

D Mondal, C Datta, S Sazim - Physics Letters A, 2016 - Elsevier
We cast observable measure of quantum coherence as a resource to control the quantum
speed limit (QSL) for unitary evolutions. For non-unitary evolutions, QSL depends on that of …

Environment-assisted speed-up of the field evolution in cavity quantum electrodynamics

AD Cimmarusti, Z Yan, BD Patterson, LP Corcos… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
We measure the quantum speed of the state evolution of the field in a weakly driven optical
cavity QED system. To this end, the mode of the electromagnetic field is considered as a …

Quantum dynamical speedup in a nonequilibrium environment

X Cai, Y Zheng - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We theoretically study the dynamical speedup of a quantum system in a nonequilibrium
environment. Based on the trace distance, we derive the generalized Margolus-Levitin and …
