Abstract

Using exponential quadratic operators, we present a general framework for studying the exact dynamics of system-bath interaction in which the Hamiltonian is described by the quadratic form of bosonic operators. To demonstrate the versatility of the approach, we study how the environment affects the squeezing of quadrature components of the system. We further propose that the squeezing can be enhanced when parity kicks are applied to the system.

Advances in non-Hermitian dynamics of quadratic bosonic systems

Non-Hermitian physics has emerged as a rapidly advancing field of research, revealing a range of novel phenomena and potential applications. Traditional non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are typically simulated by constructing asymmetric couplings or by introducing dissipation and gain to realize non-Hermitian systems. The quadratic bosonic system (QBS) with squeezing interaction is intrinsically Hermitian; however, its dynamical evolution matrix in both real and momentum spaces is non-Hermitian. Based on this, applying a field-operator transformation xp to the dynamical evolution matrix yields quadrature nonreciprocal transmission between the x and p operators. This nonreciprocal characteristic can be utilized in signal amplifiers. On the other hand, within the Bogoliubov-de Gennes framework in momentum space, one can observe non-Hermitian topological phenomena such as point-gap topology and the non-Hermitian skin effect, both induced by spectra with nonzero winding numbers. Additionally, QBS can be employed to realize non-Hermitian Aharonov-Bohm cages and to extend non-Bloch band theory. Previous studies in non-Hermitian physics have largely concentrated on classical systems. The influence of non-Hermitian properties on quantum effects remains a key issue awaiting exploration and has evolved into a research direction at the interface of non-Hermitian and quantum physics.

Classical equations for quantum squeezing and coherent pumping by the time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian

A. F. R. de Toledo Piza

The time evolution, under the general time-dependent quadratic quantum Hamiltonian, of mean values of a class of observables that includes the field quadratures and their dispersions, is obtained exactly in classical Hamiltonian form. Quantum states are described in terms of density operators, so that arbitrary initial states (both pure states and statistical mixtures) are allowed.

Quantum thermodynamics of two bosonic systems

Chiara Macchiavello, Alberto Riccardi, Massimiliano Federico Sacchi

We study the energy exchange between two bosonic systems that interact via bilinear transformations in the mode operators. The first mode is considered as the thermodynamic system, while the second is regarded as the bath. This work finds its roots in a very recent formulation of quantum thermodynamics [Bera et al., Quantum 3, 121 (2019)] which allows one to consider baths that are not described by the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs canonical form. Baths can possess quantum properties, such as squeezing or coherence, and can be initially correlated with the system, even through entanglement. We focus mainly on the case of Gaussian states, by quantifying the relation between their defining parameters, namely the mean values of the quadratures and the covariance matrix, and relevant thermodynamical quantities such as the heat exchanged and the work performed during the interaction process. We fully solve the case of initially uncorrelated Gaussian states and provide the most general form of the first law of thermodynamics in this case. We also discuss the case of initially correlated states by considering a number of relevant examples, studying how correlations can assist some phenomena, e.g., work extraction or anomalous heat flows. Finally, we present an information-theoretic approach based on the Renyi entropy of order two for clarifying more generally the role of correlations on heat exchanges.

Amplification of bosonic interactions through squeezing in the presence of decoherence

Ankit Tiwari, Cecilia Cormick, Christian Arenz

We consider the amplification of bosonic interactions through parametric control that implements squeezing along orthogonal quadratures. We show that bosonic interactions described by certain classes of quadratic and quartic Hamiltonians can be enhanced in this way while simultaneously overcoming noise and decoherence. In general, the amplification method enhances both desired and undesired interactions present in the system. Depending on the case, however, detrimental processes can be less amplified than the desired couplings. We leverage this observation to improve the fidelity for preparing Bell-type entangled states between two bosonic modes in the presence of noise and losses. We also investigate noise models for which the protocol either fails or partially achieves a loss-tolerant state preparation speedup. Our work facilitates faster preparation of complex quantum states and implementation of entangling gates in the presence of decoherence mechanisms.

Tuneable interacting bosons for relativistic and quantum information processing

Chester Moore, David Edward Bruschi

We study the full time evolution of a system of two modes of a bosonic quantum field that interact through quadratic hamiltonians. We specialise to a time dependent two-mode squeezing Hamiltonian where the coupling is switched on and off smoothly. We find the analytical solutions to the time evolution after the interaction is turned off, which apply to arbitrary coupling functions. We investigate the final state of the system and compute all physically relevant quantities, such as average particle number, entanglement and change in energy. Our techniques can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, which include implementations of time dependent two-mode squeezing, coupled harmonic oscillators, harmonic oscillators coupled to light. Furthermore, these techniques can be extended to more complicated time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonians. We briefly discuss possible applications within the area of relativistic and quantum information.
