We are interested in several areas informed by quantum information theory. Here is a brief summary of each field.
We are interested in quantum systems with initial correlations, non-Markovianity and its effects on experiments. For instance, let us consider spectroscopy. The relationship between the controls available to a spectroscopist and the signal output is typically calculated in the limit of vanishing correlations between the system and the environment. In this limit, typical Markovian master equations are derived and used routinely in weak-field phase control spectroscopy, 2D spectroscopy etc. We are interested in using these experimental toolboxes to go beyond such physics.
see this paper on spectroscopic witness of non-Markovianity and this paper on how quantum computing can speed up universal classical computing for recent work.
We are interested in variational and gradient based optimisation techniques for gate design and for optimising finite-time thermodynamic processes.
see this paper titled "Algorithmic Primitives for Quantum-Assisted Quantum Control" for recent work. Also see this paper titled "Convex optimization for non-equilibrium steady states on a hybrid quantum processor" for more recent work.
We are interested in the interplay between dynamics and thermodynamics in small quantum systems, novel designs of quantum thermal machines.
seethis paper on quadratic enhancement of thermal engines, this paper on nanoscale heat engines and this paper on speeding up thermalization for some recent work
Synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in a plethora of systems. At its core it can be viewed as "adjustment of rhythms" of self-sustaining or chaotic systems due to either external drive (entrainment) or mutual coupling between the systems (synchronisation). We are interested in understanding and observing synchronisation in the quantum regime and applying it to quantum technologies.
see this paper on Zeno time crystals , this paper on seeding time crystals and this paper on synchronisation of nanoscale engines for our recent work. See here and here for recent experiments on quantum synchronisation.
