Detection of Zak phases and topological invariants in a chiral photonic quantum walk

2016 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Topological insulators are fascinating states of matter exhibiting protected edge states and robust quantized features in their bulk. Here, we propose and validate experimentally a method to detect topological properties in the bulk of one-dimensional …

May a dissipative environment be beneficial for quantum annealing?

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We discuss the quantum annealing of the fully-connected ferromagnetic $ p $-spin model in a dissipative environment at low temperature. This model, in the large $ p $ limit, encodes in its ground state the …
