Quantum 5, 508 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-22-508 In general relativity, the description of spacetime relies on idealised rods and clocks, which identify a reference frame. In any concrete scenario, reference frames are associated to physical systems, which […]
Quantum 5, 507 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-20-507 There has been an intense debate on the question as to whether a quanton, passing through a double-slit, experiences a ‘momentum kick’ due to the act of which-way detection. There […]
Quantum 5, 506 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-19-506 Rutherford scattering is usually described by treating the projectile either classically or as quantum mechanical plane waves. Here we treat them as wave packets and study their head-on collisions with […]
Quantum 5, 505 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-15-505 We study the role of coherence in closed and open quantum batteries. We obtain upper bounds to the work performed or energy exchanged by both closed and open quantum batteries […]
Quantum 5, 504 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-15-504 We introduce $textit{Partially Coherent Direct Sum}$ (PCDS) quantum channels, as a generalization of the already known $textit{Direct Sum}$ quantum channels. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions to identify the subset […]
Quantum 5, 503 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-13-503 We argue that the quantum-theoretical structures studied in several recent lines of research cannot be adequately described within the standard framework of quantum circuits. This is in particular the case […]
Quantum 5, 502 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-13-502 Identifying computational tasks suitable for (future) quantum computers is an active field of research. Here we explore utilizing quantum computers for the purpose of solving differential equations. We consider two […]
Quantum 5, 501 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-13-501 Topological materials have potential applications for quantum technologies. Non-interacting topological materials, such as e.g., topological insulators and superconductors, are classified by means of fundamental symmetry classes. It is instead only […]
Quantum 5, 500 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-13-500 Energy storage is a basic physical process with many applications. When considering this task at the quantum scale, it becomes important to optimise the non-equilibrium dynamics of energy transfer to […]
Quantum 5, 499 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-07-13-499 Activation of Bell nonlocality refers to the phenomenon that some entangled mixed states that admit a local hidden variable model in the standard Bell scenario nevertheless reveal their nonlocal nature […]
