Quantum thermodynamics of boundary time-crystals (2024)
Journal Article
Carollo, F., Lesanovsky, I., Antezza, M., & De Chiara, G. (2024). Quantum thermodynamics of boundary time-crystals. Quantum Science and Technology, 9(3), Article 035024. https://doi.org/10.1088/2058-9565/ad3f42

Time-translation symmetry breaking is a mechanism for the emergence of non-stationary many-body phases, so-called time-crystals, in Markovian open quantum systems. Dynamical aspects of time-crystals have been extensively explored over the recent year... Read More about Quantum thermodynamics of boundary time-crystals.

Spectral signatures of vibronic coupling in trapped cold ionic Rydberg systems (2024)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, J. W. P., Li, W., & Lesanovsky, I. (in press). Spectral signatures of vibronic coupling in trapped cold ionic Rydberg systems. Physical Review Letters,

Atoms and ions confined with electric and optical fields form the basis of many current quantum simulation and computing platforms. When excited to high-lying Rydberg states, long-ranged dipole interactions emerge which strongly couple the electronic...

Tripartite quantum Rabi model with trapped Rydberg ions (2024)
Journal Article
Hamlyn, T. J., Zhang, C., Lesanovsky, I., & Li, W. (in press). Tripartite quantum Rabi model with trapped Rydberg ions. Physical Review Research,

We investigate a tripartite quantum Rabi model (TQRM) wherein a bosonic mode concurrently couples to two spin-1/2 particles through a spin-spin interaction, resulting in a spin-spin-boson coupling-a departure from conventional quantum Rabi models fea...

Inferring interpretable dynamical generators of local quantum observables from projective measurements through machine learning (2024)
Journal Article
Cemin, G., Carnazza, F., Andergassen, S., Martius, G., Carollo, F., & Lesanovsky, I. (2024). Inferring interpretable dynamical generators of local quantum observables from projective measurements through machine learning. Physical Review Applied, 21(4), Article L041001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevapplied.21.l041001

To characterize the dynamical behavior of many-body quantum systems, one is usually interested in the evolution of so-called order parameters rather than in characterizing the full quantum state. In many situations, these quantities coincide with the...

Quantum reaction-limited reaction–diffusion dynamics of noninteracting Bose gases (2024)
Journal Article
Rowlands, S., Lesanovsky, I., & Perfetto, G. (2024). Quantum reaction-limited reaction–diffusion dynamics of noninteracting Bose gases. New Journal of Physics, 26(4), Article 043010. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ad397a

We investigate quantum reaction–diffusion (RD) systems in one-dimension with bosonic particles that coherently hop in a lattice, and when brought in range react dissipatively. Such reactions involve binary annihilation (A + A → ∅) and coagulation (A... Read More about Quantum reaction-limited reaction–diffusion dynamics of noninteracting Bose gases.

Coherent Spin-Phonon Scattering in Facilitated Rydberg Lattices (2024)
Journal Article

We investigate the dynamics of a one-dimensional spin system with facilitation constraint that can be studied using Rydberg atoms in arrays of optical tweezer traps. The elementary degrees of freedom of the system are domains of Rydberg excitations t... Read More about Coherent Spin-Phonon Scattering in Facilitated Rydberg Lattices.

Continuous Sensing and Parameter Estimation with the Boundary Time Crystal (2024)
Journal Article
Cabot, A., Carollo, F., & Lesanovsky, I. (2024). Continuous Sensing and Parameter Estimation with the Boundary Time Crystal. Physical Review Letters, 132(5), Article 050801. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.132.050801

A boundary time crystal is a quantum many-body system whose dynamics is governed by the competition between coherent driving and collective dissipation. It is composed of N two-level systems and features a transition between a stationary phase and an... Read More about Continuous Sensing and Parameter Estimation with the Boundary Time Crystal.

Entangled time-crystal phase in an open quantum light-matter system (2023)
Journal Article
Mattes, R., Lesanovsky, I., & Carollo, F. (2023). Entangled time-crystal phase in an open quantum light-matter system. Physical Review A, 108(6), Article 062216. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.108.062216

Time crystals are nonequilibrium many-body phases in which the state of the system dynamically approaches a limit cycle. While these phases have recently been the focus of intensive research, it is still far from clear whether they can host quantum c...

We investigate the quantum reaction-diffusion dynamics of fermionic particles which coherently hop in a one-dimensional lattice and undergo annihilation reactions. The latter are modelled as dissipative processes which involve losses of pairs 2A→∅, t... Read More about Quantum reaction-limited reaction-diffusion dynamics of annihilation processes.
