@PRL Maxwell’s Demon Meets Nonequilibrium Quantum Thermodynamics
A new implementation of a Maxwell’s demon can control entropy production in a quantum-mechanical system that is driven out of thermal...
@PRL Irreversibility and the emergence of the arrow of time in quantum systems
Entropy production, a quantity associated with the emergence of the arrow of time, has been successfully measured in a microscopic...
@PRA New two-way quantum-key-distribution prototocol
Within the broad research scenario of quantum secure communication, two-way quantum-key-distribution (TWQKD) is a relatively new proposal...
@NJP The role of coherent interactions in quantum metrology
It is well known that a quantum correlated probe can yield better precision in estimating an unknown parameter than classically possible....
@PRL The first experimental verification of fluctuation relations in "Quantum Thermodynamics&qu
Highlighted as Editors’ Suggestion. Research on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems has so far produced important...
Jonas Maziero (former PhD student) awarded the CAPES Thesis Prize
Our former PhD student, Dr Jonas Maziero was awarded a couple of prizes: (1) the best thesis Grand Prize in Natural Sciences and...
Information Processing in NMR: theory and experiment
A new issue on Quantum information processing (QIP) in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was published in Philosophical Transactions of...
@PRA An NMR experiment on the full quantum version of the complementarity principle
One of the milestones of quantum mechanics is Bohr's complementarity principle. It states that a single quantum can exhibit a...
Quantum simulation of protons and neutrons
The interest in quantum simulation is manifold. Properties of the simulated system are gathered by dealing with other systems that are...
@PRL Experimental Estimate of a Classicality Witness via a Single Measurement
The perception that quantum correlations can still appear in separable states has opened exciting new possibilities regarding their use...
