Abstract The GRadient Ascent Pulse Engineering (GRAPE) method is widely used for
optimization in quantum control. GRAPE is gradient search method based on exact …

The pseudomode framework provides an exact description of the dynamics of an open
quantum system coupled to a non-Markovian environment. Using this framework, the …

We present a fully quantum dynamical treatment of a quantum heat engine and its baths
based on the Hierarchy of Pure States (HOPS), an exact and general method for open …

We investigate the energetic advantage of accelerating a quantum harmonic oscillator Otto
engine by use of shortcuts to adiabaticity (for the expansion and compression strokes) and …

We have studied the performance of a measurement-based quantum Otto engine (QOE) in a
working system of two spins coupled by Heisenberg anisotropic interaction. A nonselective …

We present a quantum heat engine based on a cavity with two oscillating mirrors that
confine a quantum field. The engine performs an Otto cycle during which the walls and a …

The quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno paradigms have thus far addressed the evolution control
of a quantum system coupled to an immutable bath via non-selective measurements …

Estimation of the phase delay between interferometer arms is the core of transmission phase
microscopy. Such phase estimation may exhibit an error below the standard quantum (shot …

We put forth the concept of quantum noise sensing in nonlinear two-mode interferometers
coupled to mechanical oscillators. These autonomous machines are capable of sensing …

We investigate the speed limit of the state transformation in open quantum systems
described by the Lindblad type quantum master equation. We obtain universal bounds of the …
