The theory of Gaussian quantum fluctuations around classical steady states in nonlinear quantum-optical systems (also known as standard linearization) is a cornerstone for the analysis of such systems. Its simplicity, together with its accuracy far from critical points or situations where the nonlinearity reaches the strong coupling regime, has turned it into a widespread technique, which is the first method of choice in most works on the subject. However, such a technique finds strong practical and conceptual complications when one tries to apply it to situations in which the classical long-time solution is time dependent, a most prominent example being spontaneous limit-cycle formation. Here we introduce a linearization scheme adapted to such situations, using the driven Van der Pol oscillator as a testbed for the method, which allows us to compare it with full numerical simulations. On a conceptual level, the scheme relies on the connection between the emergence of limit cycles and the spontaneous breaking of the symmetry under temporal translations. On the practical side, the method keeps the simplicity and linear scaling with the size of the problem (number of modes) characteristic of standard linearization, making it applicable to large (many-body) systems.

Inspired by classical (actual) Quantum Theory over $mathbb{C}$ and Modal Quantum Theory (MQT), which is a model of Quantum Theory over certain finite fields, we introduce General Quantum Theory as a Quantum Theory -- in the K{o}benhavn interpretation -- over general division rings with involution, in which the inner product is a $(sigma,1)$-Hermitian form $varphi$. This unites all known such approaches in one and the same theory, and we show that many of the known results such as no-cloning, no-deleting, quantum teleportation and super-dense quantum coding, which are known in classical Quantum Theory over $mathbb{C}$ and in some MQTs, hold for any General Quantum Theory. On the other hand, in many General Quantum Theories, a geometrical object which we call quantum kernel arises, which is invariant under the unitary group $mathbf{U}(V,varphi)$, and which carries the geometry of a so-called polar space. We use this object to construct new quantum (teleportation) coding schemes, which mix quantum theory with the geometry of the quantum kernel (and the action of the unitary group). We also show that in characteristic $0$, every General Quantum Theory over an algebraically closed field behaves like classical Quantum Theory over $mathbb{C}$ at many levels, and that all such theories share one model, which we pin down as the minimal model, which is countable and defined over $overline{mathbb{Q}}$. Moreover, to make the analogy with classical Quantum Theory even more striking, we show that Borns rule holds in any such theory. So all such theories are not modal at all. Finally, we obtain an extension theory for General Quantum Theories in characteristic $0$ which allows one to extend any such theory over algebraically closed fields (such as classical complex Quantum Theory) to larger theories in which a quantum kernel is present.
We investigate the generic bound on the minimal evolution time of the open dynamical quantum system. This quantum speed limit time is applicable to both mixed and pure initial states. We then apply this result to the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and the Ohimc-like dephasing model starting from a general time-evolution state. The bound of this time-dependent state at any point in time can be found. For the damped Jaynes-Cummings model, the corresponding bound first decreases and then increases in the Markovian dynamics. While in the non-Markovian regime, the speed limit time shows an interesting periodic oscillatory behavior. For the case of Ohimc-like dephasing model, this bound would be gradually trapped to a fixed value. In addition, the roles of the relativistic effects on the speed limit time for the observer in non-inertial frames are discussed.
The purpose of fingerprinting is to compare long messages with low communication complexity. Compared with its classical version, the quantum fingerprinting can realize exponential reduction in communication complexity. Recently, the multi-party quantum fingerprinting is studied on whether the messages from many parties are the same. However, sometimes it is not enough just to know whether these messages are the same, we usually need to know the relationship among them. We provide a general model of quantum fingerprinting network, defining the relationship function $f^R$ and giving the corresponding decision rules. In this work, we take the four-party quantum fingerprinting protocol as an example for detailed analysis. We also choose the optimal parameters to minimize communication complexity in the case of asymmetric channels. Furthermore, we compare the multi-party quantum fingerprinting with the protocol based on the two-party quantum fingerprinting and find that the multi-party protocol has obvious advantages, especially in terms of communication time. Finally, the method of encoding more than one bit on each coherent state is used to further improve the performance of the protocol.
Entanglement generation and preservation is a key task in quantum information processing, and a variety of protocols exist to entangle remote qubits via measurement of their spontaneous emission. We here propose feedback methods, based on monitoring the fluorescence of two qubits and using only local pi-pulses for control, to increase the yield and/or lifetime of entangled two-qubit states. Specifically, we describe a protocol based on photodetection of spontaneous emission (i.e. using quantum jump trajectories) which allows for entanglement preservation via measurement undoing, creating a limit cycle around a Bell states. We then demonstrate that a similar modification can be made to a recent feedback scheme based on homodyne measurement (i.e. using diffusive quantum trajectories), [L. S. Martin and K. B. Whaley, arXiv:1912.00067] in order to increase the lifetime of the entanglement it creates. Our schemes are most effective for high measurement efficiencies, and the impact of less-than-ideal measurement efficiency is quantified. The method we describe here combines proven techniques in a novel way, complementing existing protocols, and offering a pathway towards generating and protecting entangled states so that they may be used in various applications on demand.
We study properties of quantum strategies, which are complete specifications of a given partys actions in any multiple-round interaction involving the exchange of quantum information with one or more other parties. In particular, we focus on a representation of quantum strategies that generalizes the Choi-Jamio{l}kowski representation of quantum operations. This new representation associates with each strategy a positive semidefinite operator acting only on the tensor product of its input and output spaces. Various facts about such representations are established, and two applications are discussed: the first is a new and conceptually simple proof of Kitaevs lower bound for strong coin-flipping, and the second is a proof of the exact characterization QRG = EXP of the class of problems having quantum refereed games.
