## Stochastic collision model approach to transport phenomena in quantum networks

Noise-assisted transport phenomena highlight the nontrivial interplay between environmental effects and quantum coherence in achieving maximal efficiency. Due to the complexity of biochemical systems and their environments, effective open quantum …

## Noisy Quantum Metrology Enhanced by Continuous Nondemolition Measurement

We show that continuous quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement of an atomic ensemble is able to improve the precision of frequency estimation even in the presence of independent dephasing acting on each atom. We numerically simulate the dynamics of …

## Decoherence without entanglement and quantum Darwinism

It is commonly believed that decoherence arises as a result of the entangling interaction between a quantum system and its environment, as a consequence of which the environment effectively measures the system, thus washing away its quantum …

## Quantum frequency estimation with conditional states of continuously monitored independent dephasing channels

We discuss the problem of estimating a frequency via [Formula: see text]-qubit probes undergoing independent dephasing channels that can be continuously monitored via homodyne or photo-detection. We derive the corresponding analytical solutions for …

## Efficient quantum transport in a multi-site system combining classical noise and quantum baths

We study the population dynamics and quantum transport efficiency of a multi-site dissipative system driven by a random telegraph noise (RTN) by using a variational polaron master equation for both linear chain and ring configurations. By using two …

## IBM Q Experience as a versatile experimental testbed for simulating open quantum systems

The advent of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) technology is changing rapidly the landscape and modality of research in quantum physics. NISQ devices, such as the IBM Q Experience, have very recently proven their capability as experimental …

## Non-Markovianity is not a resource for quantum spatial search on a star graph subject to generalized percolation

Continuous-time quantum walks may be exploited to enhance spatial search, i.e., for finding a marked element in a database structured as a complex network. However, in practical implementations, the environmental noise has detrimental effects, and a …

## Quantum spatial search on graphs subject to dynamical noise

We address quantum spatial search on graphs and its implementation by continuous-time quantum walks in the presence of dynamical noise. In particular, we focus on search on the complete graph and on the star graph of order $N$, proving that also the …
