Probabilistic distillation of quantum coherence (2018)
Journal Article
Fang, K., Wang, X., Lami, L., Regula, B., & Adesso, G. (2018). Probabilistic distillation of quantum coherence. Physical Review Letters, 121(7), Article 070404. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.121.070404

The ability to distill quantum coherence is pivotal for optimizing the performance of quantum technologies; however, such a task cannot always be accomplished with certainty. Here we develop a general framework of probabilistic distillation of quantu... Read More about Probabilistic distillation of quantum coherence.

Scattering approach to Anderson localization (2018)
Journal Article
Ossipov, A. (2018). Scattering approach to Anderson localization. Physical Review Letters, 121(7), Article 076601. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.121.076601

We develop a novel approach to the Anderson localization problem in a d-dimensional disordered sample of dimension L×Md−1. Attaching a perfect lead with the cross section Md−1 to one side of the sample, we derive evolution equations for the scatterin... Read More about Scattering approach to Anderson localization.

Noisy frequency estimation with noisy probes (2018)
Journal Article
Górecka, A., Pollock, F. A., Liuzzo-Scorpo, P., Nichols, R., Adesso, G., & Modi, K. (2018). Noisy frequency estimation with noisy probes. New Journal of Physics, 20(8), Article 083008. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/aad4e5

We consider frequency estimation in a noisy environment with noisy probes. This builds on previous studies, most of which assume that the initial probe state is pure, while the encoding process is noisy, or that the initial probe state is mixed, whil...

Neural Fields: Localised States with Piece-Wise Constant Interactions (2018)
Book Chapter
Gökçe, A., Coombes, S., & Avitabile, D. (2018). Neural Fields: Localised States with Piece-Wise Constant Interactions. In Mathematical and Theoretical Neuroscience: Cell, Network and Data Analysis (111-121). Springer Nature. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-68297-6_7

Neural field models are typically cast as continuum integro-differential equations for describing the idealised coarse-grained activity of populations of interacting neurons. For smooth Mexican hat kernels, with short-range excitation and long-range... Read More about Neural Fields: Localised States with Piece-Wise Constant Interactions.

Unruh-DeWitt Fermion Detector on a (1+1)-Dimensional Cylindrical Spacetime: Arbitrary Worldlines and Inequivalent Spin Structures (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Louko, J., & Toussaint, V. (2015, July). Unruh-DeWitt Fermion Detector on a (1+1)-Dimensional Cylindrical Spacetime: Arbitrary Worldlines and Inequivalent Spin Structures. Presented at 14th Marcel Grossmann Meeting on General Relativity, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy

We examine an Unruh-DeWitt particle detector which couples linearly to the scalar density of a massless Dirac field on the static cylindrical quotient of the (1+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, allowing the detector’s motion to remain arbitrary and...

Quantum propagation across cosmological singularities (2017)
Journal Article
Gielen, S., & Turok, N. (2017). Quantum propagation across cosmological singularities. Physical Review D, 95(10), Article 103510. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.95.103510

The initial singularity is the most troubling feature of the standard cosmology, which quantum effects are hoped to resolve. In this paper, we study quantum cosmology with conformal (Weyl) invariant matter. We show that it is natural to extend the sc...

Emergence of a low spin phase in group field theory condensates (2016)
Journal Article

Recent results have shown how quantum cosmology models can be derived from the effective dynamics of condensate states in group field theory (GFT), where ‘cosmology is the hydrodynamics of quantum gravity’: the classical Friedmann dynamics for homoge...
