A non-Markovian optical signature for detecting entanglement in coupled excitonic qubits

We identify an optical signature for detecting entanglement in experimental nanostructure systems comprising coupled excitonic qubits. This signature owes its strength to non-Markovian dynamical effects in the second-order temporal coherence function of the emitted radiation. We calculate autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions for both selective and collective light excitation, and prove that the coherence properties of the emitted light do indeed carry information about the entanglement of the initial multi-qubit state. We also show that this signature can survive in the presence of a noisy environment.Comment: 4 pages, 4 color figures. Minor changes. Accepted version to be published in Europhysics Letter

New dynamical scaling universality for quantum networks across adiabatic quantum phase transitions

We reveal universal dynamical scaling behavior across adiabatic quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in networks ranging from traditional spatial systems (Ising model) to fully connected ones (Dicke and Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick models). Our findings, which lie beyond traditional critical exponent analysis and adiabatic perturbation approximations, are applicable even where excitations have not yet stabilized and hence provide a time-resolved understanding of QPTs encompassing a wide range of adiabatic regimes. We show explicitly that even though two systems may traditionally belong to the same universality class, they can have very different adiabatic evolutions. This implies more stringent conditions need to be imposed than at present, both for quantum simulations where one system is used to simulate the other, and for adiabatic quantum computing schemes.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, plus supplementary material (6 pages, 1 figure

Ultrafast optical signature of quantum superpositions in a nanostructure

We propose an unambiguous signature for detecting quantum superposition states in a nanostructure, based on current ultrafast spectroscopy techniques. The reliable generation of such superposition states via Hadamard-like quantum gates is crucial for implementing solid-state based quantum information schemes. The signature originates from a remarkably strong photon antibunching effect which is enhanced by non-Markovian dynamics.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. Published in Phys. Rev. B (Rapid Communications

Nonequilibrium dynamics of polariton entanglement in a cluster of coupled traps

We study in detail the generation and relaxation of quantum coherences (entanglement) in a system of coupled polariton traps. By exploiting a Lie algebraic based super-operator technique we provide an analytical exact solution for the Markovian dissipative dynamics (Master equation) of such system which is valid for arbitrary cluster size, polariton-polariton interaction strength, temperature and initial state. Based on the exact solution of the Master equation at T=0K, we discuss how dissipation affects the quantum entanglement dynamics of coupled polariton systems.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, SLAFES XIX contribution pape

Large dynamic light-matter entanglement from driving neither too fast nor too slow

A significant problem facing next-generation quantum technologies is how to generate and manipulate macroscopic entanglement in light and matter systems. Here we report a new regime of dynamical light-matter behavior in which a giant, system-wide entanglement is generated by varying the light-matter coupling at \emph{intermediate} velocities. This enhancement is far larger and broader-ranged than that occurring near the quantum phase transition of the same model under adiabatic conditions. By appropriate choices of the coupling within this intermediate regime, the enhanced entanglement can be made to spread system-wide or to reside in each subsystem separately.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure

Robust quantum correlations in out-of-equilibrium matter-light systems

High precision macroscopic quantum control in interacting light-matter systems remains a significant goal toward novel information processing and ultra-precise metrology. We show that the out-of-equilibrium behavior of a paradigmatic light-matter system (Dicke model) reveals two successive stages of enhanced quantum correlations beyond the traditional schemes of near-adiabatic and sudden quenches. The first stage features magnification of matter-only and light-only entanglement and squeezing due to effective non-linear self-interactions. The second stage results from a highly entangled light-matter state, with enhanced superradiance and signatures of chaotic and highly quantum states. We show that these new effects scale up consistently with matter system size, and are reliable even in dissipative environments.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure

The spectroscopic orbits and the geometrical configuration of the symbiotic binary AR Pavonis

We analyze optical and near infrared spectra of intermediate and high resolution of the eclipsing symbiotic system AR Pavonis. We have obtained the radial velocity curves for the red and the hot component from the M-giant absorption lines and from the wings of Halpha, H and He II4686 emission profiles, respectively. From the orbital elements we have derived the masses, Mgiant=2.5 and Mhot =1.0 solar masses, for the red giant and the hot component, respectively. We also present and discuss radial velocity patterns in the blue cF absorption spectrum as well as various emission lines. In particular, we confirm that the blue absorption lines are associated with the hot component. The radial velocity curve of the blue absorption system, however, does not track the hot companion's orbital motion in a straightforward way, and its departures from an expected circular orbit are particularly strong when the hot component is active. We suggest that the cF-type absorption system is formed in material streaming from the giant presumably in a region where the stream encounters an accretion disk or an extended envelope around the hot component. The broad emission wings originate from the inner accretion disk or the envelope around the hot star.We also suggest that the central absorption in H profiles is formed in a neutral portion of the cool giant's wind which is strongly concentrated towards the orbital plane. The nebula in AR Pav seems to be bounded by significant amount of neutral material in the orbital plane. The forbidden emission lines are probably formed in low density ionized regions extended in polar directions and/or the wind-wind interaction zone.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, accepted by A&

Condiciones y Medio Ambiente de Trabajo … ¿qué se hace en la Universidad?

Las Condiciones y Medio Ambiente de Trabajo (CyMAT) abarcan la totalidad de los factores que pueden afectar al trabajador desde una visión integradora de sus necesidades económicas, técnicas y organizacionales, y consideran además la relación de las mismas con el medio socioeconómico, político, físico, sanitario y cultural que lo rodea. Esta mirada conjunta de los factores que pueden afectar al trabajador, sus necesidades y la relación de estas últimas con el medio, permite trasladar situaciones laborales al entorno familiar y social del trabajador, afectándolo tanto fuera como dentro del lugar donde realiza sus tareas. El marco legal está dado por la Ley Nº19.587 de Higiene y Seguridad con su Decreto Reglamentario Nº 351/79, y la Ley Nº24.557 de Riesgos del Trabajo de 1996. De acuerdo con estas normas, las universidades deben prever condiciones de seguridad para su personal, sus instalaciones y su equipamiento, elaborar manuales de procedimientos, programas de capacitación y planes de evacuación, y realizar registros de accidentes y de enfermedades laborales. El objetivo de este trabajo es concientizar a la comunidad universitaria de la importancia de este tema, normalmente percibido como secundario frente a cuestiones académicas, presupuestarias, políticas y de otros órdenes. Para ello se propone inspeccionar qué hacen las Universidades Nacionales respecto a esta problemática, revisando las páginas institucionales, los estándares para la acreditación de las carreras y los informes de evaluación disponibles en Internet
