We propose an approach to nondestructively detect $N$ qubits by measuring the transmissions of a dispersively-coupled cavity. By taking into account all the cavity-qubits quantum correlations (i.e., beyond the usual coarse-grained/mean-field approximations), it is revealed that for an unknown normalized $N$-qubit state $|psi_N>=sum_{k=0}^{2^N-1}beta_k|k>_N$, each detected peak in the cavity transmitted spectra marks one of the basis states $|k>_N$ and the relative height of such a peak is related to the corresponding superposed-probability $|beta_k|^2$. Our results are able to unambiguously account for the intriguing multi-peak structures of the spectra observed in a very recent circuit-quantum-electrodynamics experiment [Phys. Rev. A {bf 81}, 062325 (2010)] with two superconducting qubits.

The conventional method of qubit measurements in circuit QED is employing the dispersive regime of qubit-cavity coupling, which results in an approximated scheme of quantum nondemolition (QND) readout. This scheme becomes problematic in the case of s trong coupling and/or strong measurement drive, owing to the so-called Purcell effect. A recent proposal by virtue of longitudinal coupling suggests a new scheme to realize fast, high-fidelity, and {it ideal QND} readout of qubit state. The aim of the present work is twofold: (i) In parallel to what has been done in the past years for the dispersive readout, we carry out the gradual partial-collapse theory for this recent scheme, in terms of both the quantum trajectory equation and quantum Bayesian approaches. The partial-collapse weak measurement theory is useful for such as the measurement-based feedback control and other quantum applications. (ii) In the physical aspect, we construct the joint qubit-plus-cavity entangled state under continuous measurement and present a comprehensive analysis for the quantum efficiency,qubit-state purity, and signal-to-noise ratio in the output currents. The combination of the joint state and the quantum Bayesian rule provides a generalized scheme of cavity reset associated with the longitudinal coupling, which can restore the qubit to a quantum pure state from entanglement with the cavity states, and thus benefits the successive partial-collapse measurements after qubit rotations.
In the field of cavity optomechanics, proposals for quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements of phonon number provide a promising avenue by which one can study the quantum nature of nanoscale mechanical resonators. Here, we investigate these QND meas urements for an optomechanical system whereby quadratic coupling arises due to shared symmetries between a single optical resonance and a mechanical mode. We establish a relaxed limit on the amount of linear coupling that can exist in this type of system while still allowing for a QND measurement of Fock states. This new condition enables optomechanical QND measurements, which can be used to probe the decoherence of mesoscopic mechanical Fock states, providing an experimental testbed for quantum collapse theories.

The study of topological superconductivity is largely based on the analysis of mean-field Hamiltonians that violate particle number conservation and have only short-range interactions. Although this approach has been very successful, it is not clear that it captures the topological properties of real superconductors, which are described by number-conserving Hamiltonians with long-range interactions. To address this issue, we study topological superconductivity directly in the number-conserving setting. We focus on a diagnostic for topological superconductivity that compares the fermion parity $mathcal{P}$ of the ground state of a system in a ring geometry and in the presence of zero vs. $Phi_{text{sc}}=frac{h}{2e} equiv pi$ flux of an external magnetic field. A version of this diagnostic exists in any dimension and provides a $mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant $ u=mathcal{P}_0mathcal{P}_{pi}$ for topological superconductivity. In this paper we prove that the mean-field approximation correctly predicts the value of $ u$ for a large family of number-conserving models of spinless superconductors. Our result applies directly to the cases of greatest physical interest, including $p$-wave and $p_x+ip_y$ superconductors in one and two dimensions, and gives strong evidence for the validity of the mean-field approximation in the study of (at least some aspects of) topological superconductivity.
We study quantum geometric contributions to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition temperature, $T_{mathrm{BKT}}$, in the presence of fluctuations beyond BCS theory. Because quantum geometric effects become progressively more important with stronger pairing attraction, a full understanding of 2D multi-orbital superconductivity requires the incorporation of preformed pairs. We find it is through the effective mass of these pairs that quantum geometry enters the theory and this suggests that the quantum geometric effects are present in the non-superconducting pseudogap phase as well. Increasing these geometric contributions tends to raise $T_{mathrm{BKT}}$ which then competes with fluctuation effects that generally depress it. We argue that a way to physically quantify the magnitude of these geometric terms is in terms of the ratio of the pairing onset temperature $T^*$ to $T_{mathrm{BKT}}$. Our paper calls attention to an experimental study demonstrating how both temperatures and, thus, their ratio may be currently accessible. They can be extracted from the same voltage-current measurements which are generally used to establish BKT physics. We use these observations to provide rough preliminary estimates of the magnitude of the geometric contributions in, for example, magic angle twisted bilayer graphene.
Most of the work done in the field of Bose-Einstein condensates with balanced gain and loss has been performed in the mean-field approximation using the PT-symmetric Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In this work we study the many-particle dynamics of a two -mode condensate with balanced gain and loss described by a master equation in Lindblad form whose purity periodically drops to small values but then is nearly completely restored. This effect cannot be covered by the mean-field approximation, in which a completely pure condensate is assumed. We present analytic solutions for the dynamics in the non-interacting limit and use the Bogoliubov backreaction method to discuss the influence of the on-site interaction. Our main result is that the strength of the purity revivals is almost exclusively determined by the strength of the gain and loss and is independent of the amount of particles in the system and the interaction strength. For larger particle numbers, however, strong revivals are shifted towards longer times, but by increasing the interaction strength these strong revivals again occur earlier.
