Période du rapport: 2023-03-01 au 2024-08-31
Quantum entanglement serves as a key tool to analyze these novel behaviors. This project pushed forward this research area through multiple innovative avenues.
These advancements are essential for the progression of future quantum technologies, as they lay the groundwork for new approaches to harness and control quantum phenomena.
By deepening our understanding of non-equilibrium behaviors and entanglement dynamics, these developments open pathways toward innovative applications in quantum computing,
secure communication, and precision measurement.
The ability to manipulate and characterize complex quantum states more effectively will drive the creation of robust, scalable quantum systems and enable breakthroughs in fields
such as cryptography, sensing, and materials science.
Another significant direction introduces entanglement asymmetry as a powerful probe for detecting symmetry breaking.
This concept led to the surprising discovery of the quantum Mpemba effect, where, under certain conditions, a more asymmetric initial configuration can relax to restore symmetry faster than a symmetric one.
In addition to the foundational publication in Nature Communications, two significant studies published in Physical Review Letters stand out.
One provides experimental validation of the quantum Mpemba effect using a trapped-ion simulator, while the other offers a proposed microscopic mechanism in integrable models.
These breakthroughs have provided critical insights and refined techniques essential for understanding entangled states in non-equilibrium quantum systems.
We achieved a comprehensive characterization of these entangled states, including in complex scenarios such as spin-charge separated systems.
This expanded understanding offers a detailed map of the entanglement properties in these systems, potentially revealing new mechanisms for quantum manipulation
and control that could further enhance their applicability in next-generation quantum technologies.
