We define the notion of mutual quantum measurements of two macroscopic objects and investigate the effect of these measurements on the velocities of the objects. We show that multiple mutual quantum measurements can lead to an effective force emerging as a consequence of asymmetric diffusion in the velocity space. We further show that, under a certain set of assumptions involving the measurements of mutual Doppler shifts, the above force can reproduce Newtons law of gravitation. Such a mechanism would explain the equivalence between the gravitational and the inertial masses. For a broader class of measurements, the emergent force can also lead to corrections to Newtons gravitation.

Continuously monitoring the environment of a quantum many-body system reduces the entropy of (purifies) the reduced density matrix of the system, conditional on the outcomes of the measurements. We show that, for mixed initial states, a balanced competition between measurements and entangling interactions within the system can result in a dynamical purification phase transition between (i) a phase that locally purifies at a constant system-size-independent rate, and (ii) a mixed phase where the purification time diverges exponentially in the system size. The residual entropy density in the mixed phase implies the existence of a quantum error-protected subspace where quantum information is reliably encoded against the future non-unitary evolution of the system. We show that these codes are of potential relevance to fault-tolerant quantum computation as they are often highly degenerate and satisfy optimal tradeoffs between encoded information densities and error thresholds. In spatially local models in 1+1 dimensions, this phase transition for mixed initial states occurs concurrently with a recently identified class of entanglement phase transitions for pure initial states. The mutual information of an initially completely-mixed state in 1+1 dimensions grows sublinearly in time due to the formation of the error protected subspace. The purification transition studied here also generalizes to systems with long-range interactions, where conventional notions of entanglement transitions have to be reformulated. Purification dynamics is likely a more robust probe of the transition in experiments, where imperfections generically reduce entanglement and drive the system towards mixed states. We describe the motivations for studying this novel class of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics in the context of advanced quantum computing platforms and fault-tolerant quantum computation.
We introduce quantum correlations measures based on the minimal change in unified entropies induced by local rank-one projective measurements, divided by a factor that depends on the generalized purity of the system in the case of non-additive entropies. In this way, we overcome the issue of the artificial increasing of the value of quantum correlations measures based on non-additive entropies when an uncorrelated ancilla is appended to the system without changing the computability of our entropic correlations measures with respect to the previous ones. Moreover, we recover as limiting cases the quantum correlations measures based on von Neumann and Renyi entropies (i.e., additive entropies), for which the adjustment factor becomes trivial. In addition, we distinguish between total and semiquantum correlations and obtain some relations between them. Finally, we obtain analytical expressions of the entropic correlations measures for typical quantum bipartite systems.
The realization of quantum adiabatic dynamics is at the core of implementations of adiabatic quantum computers. One major issue is to efficiently compromise between the long time scales required by the adiabatic protocol and the detrimental effects of the environment, which set an upper bound to the time scale of the operation. In this work we propose a protocol which achieves fast adiabatic dynamics by coupling the system to an external environment by the means of a quantum-non-demolition (QND) Hamiltonian. We analyse the infidelity of adiabatic transfer for a Landau-Zener problem in the presence of QND measurement, where the qubit couples to a meter which in turn quickly dissipates. We analyse the protocols fidelity as a function of the strength of the QND coupling and of the relaxation time of the meter. In the limit where the decay rate of the ancilla is the largest frequency scale of the dynamics, the QND coupling induces an effective dephasing in the adiabatic basis. Optimal conditions for adiabaticity are found when the coupling with the meter induces dissipative dynamics which suppresses unwanted diabatic transitions.
Interesting problems in quantum computation take the form of finding low-energy states of (pseudo)spin systems with engineered Hamiltonians that encode the problem data. Motivated by the practical possibility of producing very low-temperature spin systems, we propose and exemplify the possibility to compute by coupling the computational spins to a non-Markovian bath of spins that serve as a heat sink. We demonstrate both analytically and numerically that this strategy can achieve quantum advantage in the Grover search problem.
A quantum battery is a work reservoir that stores energy in quantum degrees of freedom. When immersed in an environment an open quantum battery needs to be stabilized against free energy leakage into the environment. For this purpose we here propose a simple protocol that relies on projective measurement and obeys a second-law like inequality for the battery entropy production rate.
