GHZ-like states in the Qubit-Qudit Rabi model

We study a Rabi type Hamiltonian system in which a qubit and a dd-level quantum system (qudit) are coupled through a common resonator. In the weak and strong coupling limits the spectrum is analysed through suitable perturbative schemes. The analysis show that the presence of the multilevels of the qudit effectively enhance the qubit-qudit interaction. The ground state of the strongly coupled system is found to be of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type. Therefore, despite the qubit-qudit strong coupling, the nature of the specific tripartite entanglement of the GHZ state suppresses the bipartite entanglement. We analyze the system dynamics under quenching and adiabatic switching of the qubit-resonator and qudit-resonator couplings. In the quench case, we found that the non-adiabatic generation of photons in the resonator is enhanced by the number of levels in the qudit. The adiabatic control represents a possible route for preparation of GHZ states. Our analysis provides relevant information for future studies on coherent state transfer in qubit-qudit systems.

Non-equilibrium evolution of Bose-Einstein condensate deformation in temporally controlled weak disorder

We consider a time-dependent extension of a perturbative mean-field approach to the homogeneous dirty boson problem by considering how switching on and off a weak disorder potential affects the stationary state of an initially {equilibrated} Bose-Einstein condensate by the emergence of a disorder-induced condensate deformation. We find that in the switch on scenario the stationary condensate deformation turns out to be a sum of an equilibrium part{, that actually corresponds to adiabatic switching on the disorder,} and a dynamically-induced part, where the latter depends on the particular driving protocol. If the disorder is switched off afterwards, the resulting condensate deformation acquires an additional dynamically-induced part in the long-time limit, while the equilibrium part vanishes. {We also present an appropriate generalization to inhomogeneous trapped condensates.} Our results demonstrate that the condensate deformation represents an indicator of the generically non-equilibrium nature of steady states of a Bose gas in a temporally controlled weak disorder.

Adiabatic theorems for general linear operators with time-independent domains

We establish adiabatic theorems with and without spectral gap conditions for general — typically dissipative — linear operators [Formula: see text] with time-independent domains [Formula: see text] in some Banach space [Formula: see text]. Compared to the previously known adiabatic theorems — especially those without a spectral gap condition — we do not require the considered spectral values [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] to be (weakly) semisimple. We also impose only fairly weak regularity conditions. Applications are given to slowly time-varying open quantum systems and to adiabatic switching processes.
