Article Abstract

It is well known that repeated projective measurements can either slow down (the Zeno effect) or speed up (the anti-Zeno effect) quantum evolution. Until now, studies of these effects for a two-level system interacting with its environment have focused on repeatedly preparing the excited state via projective measurements. In this paper, we consider the repeated preparation of an arbitrary state of a two-level system that is interacting strongly with an environment of harmonic oscillators. To handle the strong interaction, we perform a polaron transformation and then use a perturbative approach to calculate the decay rates for the system. Upon calculating the decay rates, we discover that there is a transition in their qualitative behaviors as the state being repeatedly prepared continuously moves away from the excited state and toward a uniform superposition of the ground and excited states. Our results should be useful for the quantum control of a two-level system interacting with its environment.

We introduce an efficient method, TTN-HEOM, for exactly calculating the open quantum dynamics for driven quantum systems interacting with highly structured bosonic baths by combining the tree tensor network (TTN) decomposition scheme with the bexcitonic generalization of the numerically exact hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM). The method yields a series of quantum master equations for all core tensors in the TTN that efficiently and accurately capture the open quantum dynamics for non-Markovian environments to all orders in the system-bath interaction. These master equations are constructed based on the time-dependent Dirac-Frenkel variational principle, which isolates the optimal dynamics for the core tensors given the TTN ansatz.

Subject-independent emotion detection using EEG (Electroencephalography) using Vibrational Mode Decomposition and deep learning is made possible by the scarcity of labelled EEG datasets encompassing a variety of emotions. Labelled EEG data collection over a wide range of emotional states from a broad and varied population is challenging and resource-intensive. As a result, models trained on small or biased datasets may fail to generalize well to unknown individuals or emotional states, resulting in lower accuracy and robustness in real-world applications.

Coordinated operation of dual-arm manipulators is essential for enhancing the load capacity and adaptability of robotic systems. However, the precise control of the internal and external forces during the coordinated operation of dual-arm manipulators can pose considerable challenges owing to factors such as force interactions, kinematic constraints, positional inaccuracies, and external disturbances. This study focused on precise force-tracking control for a dual-arm manipulator system in the presence of external disturbances and uncertainties.

Distinct Rabi splitting in confined systems of MoSe monolayers and (Ga,In)As quantum wells.

Rabi splitting is a defining signature of strong light-matter interaction, emerging when a two-level system is resonantly driven by an optical field, resulting in a spectral doublet separated by the Rabi energy. In solid-state systems, Rabi splitting occurs at exciton resonances, where it is shaped by many-body interactions intrinsic to the material. Here, we investigate the Rabi splitting dynamics in two paradigmatic two-dimensional semiconductors: a hBN-encapsulated MoSe monolayer and a (Ga,In)As multiple quantum well structure.

Delayed luminescence (DL) is a quantized signal that is characteristic of photoexcited molecules entering a relaxed state. Studying DL provides critical insight into photophysical mechanisms through the analysis of specific spatiotemporal dynamics. In this study, we developed a high-sensitivity DL imaging system using a quantitative scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (qCMOS) camera and a single-photon counting resolution.
