    Signifying quantum uncertainty relations by optimal observable sets and the tightest uncertainty constants

    查看更多>>摘要:Quantum uncertainty relations constrain the precision of measurements across multiple non-commuting quantum mechanical ob-servables.Here,we introduce the concept of optimal observable sets and define the tightest uncertainty constants to accurately describe these measurement uncertainties.For any quantum state,we establish optimal sets of three observables for both prod-uct and summation forms of uncertainty relations,and analytically derive the corresponding tightest uncertainty constants.We demonstrate that the optimality of these sets remains consistent regardless of the uncertainty relation form.Furthermore,the existence of the tightest constants excludes the validity of standard real quantum mechanics,underscoring the essential role of complex numbers in this field.Additionally,our findings resolve the conjecture posed in[Phys.Rev.Lett.118,180402(2017)],offering novel insights and potential applications in understanding preparation uncertainties.

    Quantum control for time-dependent noise by inverse geometric optimization

    查看更多>>摘要:Quantum systems are exceedingly difficult to engineer because they are sensitive to various types of noises.In particular,time-dependent noises are frequently encountered in experiments but how to overcome them remains a challenging problem.In this work,we propose a flexible robust control technique to resist time-dependent noises based on inverse geometric optimization working in the filter-function formalism.The basic idea is to parameterize the control filter function geometrically and minimize its overlap with the noise spectral density.This then effectively reduces the noise susceptibility of the controlled system evolu-tion.We show that the proposed method can produce high-quality robust pulses for realizing desired quantum evolutions under realistic noise models.Also,we demonstrate this method in examples including dynamical decoupling and quantum sensing protocols to enhance their performances.

    Primordial black holes and curvature perturbations from false vacuum islands

    查看更多>>摘要:Recently,much attention has been focused on the false vacuum islands that are flooded by an expanding ocean of true-vacuum bubbles slightly later than most of the other parts of the world.These delayed decay regions will accumulate locally larger vacuum energy density by staying in the false vacuum longer than those already transited into the true vacuum.A false vacuum island with thus acquired density contrast of a super-horizon size will evolve locally from radiation dominance to vacuum dom-inance,creating a local baby Universe that can be regarded effectively as a local closed Universe.If such density contrasts of super-horizon sizes can ever grow large enough to exceed the threshold of gravitational collapse,primordial black holes will form similar to those collapsing curvature perturbations on super-horizon scales induced by small-scale enhancements during inflation.If not,such density contrasts can still induce curvature perturbations potentially observable today.In this paper,we revisit and elaborate on the generations of primordial black holes and curvature perturbations from delayed-decayed false vacuum islands during asynchronous first-order phase transitions with fitting formulas convenient for future model-independent studies.

    查看更多>>摘要:We extend our research on the energy flux and waveform characteristics of gravitational waves generated by merging nonspinning binary black holes through self-consistent effective one-body theory to include binary systems with slowly spinning black holes.Initially,we decompose the equation for the null tetrad component of the gravitationally perturbed Weyl tensor ψB4 into radial and angular parts,leveraging the second-order approximation of the rotation parameter a.Subsequently,we derive an analytical solution for the radial equation and observe that our results are contingent upon the parameters a2,a3,and a,which represent the second-and third-order correction parameters,respectively.Ultimately,we calculate the energy flux,the radiation-reaction force and the waveform for the"plus"and"cross"modes of the gravitational waves generated by merging slowly spinning binary black holes.

    查看更多>>摘要:The advancement of integrated optical communication networks necessitates the deployment of on-chip beam splitters for efficient signal interconnections at network nodes.However,the pursuit of micron-scale beam splitting with large comers and reducing the device footprint to boost connection flexibility often results in phase mismatches.These mismatches,which stem from radiation modes and backward scattering,pose significant obstacles in creating highly integrated and interference-resistant connections.To address this,we introduce a solution based on the topological valley-contrasting state generated by photonic crystals with opposing valley Chem numbers,manifested in a harpoon-shaped structure designed to steer the splitting channels.This approach enables adiabatic mode field evolution over large comers,capitalizing on the robust phase modulation capabilities and topological protection provided by the subwavelength-scale valley-contrasting state.Our demonstration reveals that beam splitters with large corners of 60°,90°,and 120° exhibit insertion loss fluctuations below 2.7 dB while maintaining a minimal footprint of 8.8 μm × 8.8 μm.As a practical demonstration,these devices facilitate three-channel signal connections,success-fully transmitting quadrature phase shift keying signals at 3.66 Tbit/s with bit error rates below the forward error correction threshold,demonstrating performance comparable to that in defects scenarios.By harnessing the unidirectional excitation feature,we anticipate significant enhancements in the capabilities of signal distribution and connection networks through a daisy chain configuration.
