Statistical Mechanics with Trapped Ion Coulomb Crystals
Abstract: While thermodynamics of physical systems in equilibrium is well-understood, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics still poses many open questions both in the classical and the quantum world...

Critical thermalization of a disordered dipolar spin system in diamond
Abstract: Statistical mechanics underlies our understanding of macroscopic quantum systems. It is based on the assumption that out-of-equilibrium systems rapidly approach their equilibrium states, fo...

Enhancing quantum sensing sensitivity by a quantum memory
Abstract: In quantum sensing, precision is typically limited by the maximum time interval over which phase can be accumulated. Memories have been used to enhance this time interval beyond the coheren...

Quantum Journal Club: Extending the lifetime of a quantum bit with error correction in superconducting circuits
Abstract: Quantum error correction (QEC) can overcome the errors experienced by qubits1 and is therefore an essential component of a future quantum computer. To implement QEC, a qubit is redundantly ...

Quantum Journal Club: High Quality Stepped-impedance Resonators suitable for Circuit-QED Measurement of Superconducting Artificial Atoms
Abstract: High quality factor coplanar resonators are critical elements in superconducting quantum circuits. We describe the design, fabrication and measurement of stepped impedance resonators (SIRs)...

Quantum Journal Club: Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference between Two Deterministic Collective Excitations in an Atomic Ensemble
Abstract: We demonstrate deterministic generation of two distinct collective excitations in one atomic ensemble, and we realize the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between them. Using Rydberg blockade we...
