By leveraging pseudospectral techniques, we trace the discrepancy between asymptotic and transient dynamics to the <i>non-normality</i> of the underlying quadratic bosonic Lindbladian (QBL) generator and show that two distinct flavors of dynamical metastability can arise. QBLs exhibiting <i>type I dynamical metastability</i>, previously discussed in the context of anomalous transient amplification [<span>Phys. Rev. Lett.</span> <b>127</b>, 245701 (2021)], are dynamically unstable in the infinite-size limit yet stable once open boundaries are imposed. In contrast, <i>type II dynamically metastable</i> QBLs, which we uncover in this work, are dynamically stable for infinite size but become unstable under open boundary conditions for arbitrary finite system size. We exhibit representative models for both types of metastability in the dissipative, as well as the closed-system (Hamiltonian) settings, and analyze distinctive behavior they can engender. We show that dynamical metastability manifests itself in the generation of <i>entanglement entropy</i> by way of a transient which reflects the stability phase of the infinite (rather than the actual finite) system and, as a result, is directly tied to the emergence of <i>supervolume entanglement scaling</i> in type I systems. Finally, we demonstrate how, even in Hermitian, and especially in highly non-normal regimes, the spectral properties of an infinite-size QBL are reflected in the linear response functions of the corresponding finite QBLs by way of <i>resonant pseudospectral modes</i>.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results are important in the context of efforts to enable quantum-enhanced molecular spectroscopy and imaging at ultra-low optical flux. Using an optical parametric down-conversion photon-pair source that can be varied from the low-gain spontaneous regime to the high-gain squeezing regime, we observed two-photon-induced fluorescence in the high-gain regime, but in the low-gain regime any fluorescence was below detection threshold. We supplemented the molecular fluorescence experiments with a study of nonlinear-optical sum-frequency generation, for which we are able to observe the low-to-high-gain crossover, thereby verifying our theoretical models and experimental techniques. The observed rates (or lack thereof) in both experiments are consistent with theoretical predictions and with our previous experiments, and indicate that time-frequency photon entanglement does not provide a practical means to enhance in-solution molecular two-photon fluorescence spectroscopy or imaging with current techniques.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If scattering events, mediated by a bath, between those quasiparticles can be approximated as density-density interactions, the bath behaves like an effective external potential. On the other hand, exchange interactions could entangle those quasiparticles and the bath, leading to an open quantum system that induces quantum decoherence and spectral broadening. We investigate the renormalized interaction between the SOI and the bath, employing a projection operator technique similar to the one used in the Nakajima-Zwanzig method. We find that the frequency variation of this renormalized interaction is analogous to the quasiparticle residue and provides a measure of the SOI-bath separability that serves as the lower bound of the SOI-bath entanglement entropy. In the weak-coupling regime and continuum limit, we demonstrate that the degree of SOI-bath separability corresponds to the quasiparticle spectral weight in the single-impurity Anderson model and find that the loss of quantum information to the continuum of the bath can be understood as a decay process where an initial single-impurity state escapes to a thermal bath. This work provides a direction for connecting energy dissipation in quasiparticles propagation to the loss of quantum information in open quantum systems.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we analyze the two-photon scattering process, obtaining the analytical expressions for scattered states. As non-Markovian effects strengthen, two peaks appear in the incoherent power spectrum, attributed to the system behaving as a leaky cavity formed by the giant atom's coupling points.

Proper quantification of uncertainties and the incompatibility of these two operators are thus essential for applications of rotorlike quantum systems. While angular momentum uncertainty is characterized by variance, several uncertainty measures have been proposed for the shift operator, with dispersion the simplest example. We establish a hierarchy of those measures and corresponding uncertainty relations which are all perfectly or almost perfectly saturated by a tomographically complete set of von Mises states. Building on the interpretation of dispersion as the moment of inertia of the unit ring we then show that the other measures also possess the same mechanical interpretation. This unifying perspective allows us to express all measures as a particular instance of a single generic angular uncertainty measure. The importance of these measures is then highlighted by applying the simplest two of them to derive optimal simultaneous measurements of the angular momentum and the shift operator. Finally, we argue that the model of quantum rotor extends beyond its mechanical meaning with promising applications in the fields of singular optics, superconductive circuits with a Josephson junction, or optimal pulse shaping in the time-frequency domain. Our findings lay the groundwork for quantum-information and metrological applications of the quantum rotor and point to its interdisciplinary nature.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
