Pulsed Generation of Quantum Coherences and Non-classicality in Light-Matter Systems

Abstract

We show that a pulsed stimulus can be used to generate many-body quantum coherences in lightmatter systems of general size. Specifically, we calculate the exact time-evolution of an N qubit system coupled to a global boson field, in response to an up-down pulse. The pulse is chosen so that the system dynamically crosses the system's quantum phase transition on both the up and down portion of the cycle. We identify a novel form of dynamically-driven quantum coherence emerging for general N and without having to access the empirically challenging strong-coupling regime. Its properties depend on the speed of the changes in the stimulus. Non-classicalities arise within each subsystem that have eluded previous analyses. Our findings show robustness to losses and noise, and have potential functional implications at the systems level for a variety of nanosystems, including collections of N atoms, molecules, spins, or superconducting qubits in cavities -and possibly even vibration-enhanced light-harvesting processes in macromolecules.

Rényi entropy singularities as signatures of topological criticality in coupled photon-fermion systems

“…Within this description, measurements of the Fano parameter and single-mode quadrature amplitudes yield directly to assessing the Rényi entropy. This approach allows us to link directly accessible microwave observables to quantum light-matter correlations [38][39][40], and clarifies the role of topological phases hosted by cavityfermion coupled systems.

Vulnerability of Quantum Information Systems to Collective Manipulation

“…overall conclusions should follow from many variants due to an established universal dynamical scaling [32,35,[55][56][57] and the fact that they typically generate similar types of phase diagrams, and hence have similar collective states in the static λ limit [58][59][60][61]. Indeed, we have already shown elsewhere in the science literature that there is a universal dynamical scaling behavior for a particular class concerning their nearadiabatic behavior, in particular the Transverse-Field Ising model, the Dicke Model and the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model [35].…”

Optimal basis for the generalized Dicke model

“…Dynamically-driven quantum coherence in qubit systems, which are made to cross the quantum phase transition into the superradiant region, has been shown [4][5][6], as well as the generation of field-matter entanglement in the system by varying the light-matter coupling parameter [7].…”
