Time-limited optimal dynamics beyond the quantum speed limit

Quantum speed limit for non-Markovian dynamics.

We derive a Margolus-Levitin-type bound on the minimal evolution time of an arbitrarily driven open quantum system. We express this quantum speed limit time in terms of the operator norm of the nonunitary generator of the dynamics. We apply these results to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and demonstrate that the corresponding bound is tight. We further show that non-Markovian effects can spee...

Quantum Limit on Computational Time and Speed

We investigate if physical laws can impose limit on computational time and speed of a quantum computer built from elementary particles. We show that the product of the speed and the running time of a quantum computer is limited by the type of fundamental interactions present inside the system. This will help us to decide as to what type of interaction should be allowed in building quantum compu...

Spintronics: Beyond the speed limit.

Quantum entropy dynamics for chaotic systems beyond the classical limit.

The entropy production rate for an open quantum system with a classically chaotic limit has been previously argued to be independent of h and D, the parameter denoting coupling to the environment, and to be equal to the sum of generalized Lyapunov exponents, with these results applying in the near-classical regime. We present results for a specific system going well beyond earlier work, conside...

High-speed laser modulation beyond the relaxation resonance frequency limit.

We propose and show that for coupling modulated lasers (CMLs), in which the output coupler is modulated rather than the pump rate, the conventional relaxation resonance frequency limit to the laser modulation bandwidth can be circumvented. The modulation response is limited only by the coupler. Although CMLs are best suited to microcavities, as a proof-of-principle, a coupling-modulated erbium-...
