Decodable hybrid dynamics of open quantum systems with Z_2 symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Yaodong Li, Matthew P. A. Fisher, , , | Summary: We explore a class of "open" quantum circuit models with local decoherence ("noise") and local projective measurements, each respecting a global Z_2 symmetry. The model supports a spin glass phase where the Z_2 symmetry is […]

Two-photon sideband transition in a driven quantum Rabi model : Quantitative discussions with derived longitudinal drives and beyond the rotating wave approximation

Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Byoung-moo Ann, Wouter Kessels, Gary A. Steele, , | Summary: In this work, we analytically and numerically study the sideband transition dynamics of the driven quantum Rabi model (QRM). We focus in particular on the conditions when the external transverse drive fields induce first-order sideband transitions. […]

Inhibited nonradiative decay at all exciton densities in monolayer semiconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Javey | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Most optoelectronic devices operate at high photocarrier densities, where all semiconductors suffer from enhanced nonradiative recombination. Nonradiative processes proportionately reduce photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY), a performance metric that directly dictates the maximum device efficiency. Although transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers exhibit […]
