One of the most widely known building blocks of modern physics is Heisenberg’s indeterminacy principle. Among the different statements of this fundamental property of the full quantum mechanical…
Trade-Off Between Speed and Cost in Shortcuts to Adiabaticity.
- S. Campbell, Sebastian Deffner
- PhysicsPhysical Review Letters
- 15 September 2016
The speed with which a quantum system can be driven when employing transitionless quantum driving is studied to establish a rigorous link between this speed, the quantum speed limit, and the (energetic) cost of implementing such a shortcut to adiabaticity.

This book provides an introduction to the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics, with particular focus on its relation to quantum information and its implications for quantum computers and next…
System-environment correlations and Markovian embedding of quantum non-Markovian dynamics
- S. Campbell, F. Ciccarello, G. Palma, B. Vacchini
- MathematicsPhysical Review A
- 24 May 2018
We study the dynamics of a quantum system whose interaction with an environment is described by a collision model, i.e., the open dynamics is modeled through sequences of unitary interactions between…
Precision thermometry and the quantum speed limit

We assess precision thermometry for an arbitrary single quantum system. For a d-dimensional harmonic system we show that the gap sets a single temperature that can be optimally estimated.…
Orthogonality Catastrophe as a Consequence of the Quantum Speed Limit.
- Thomás Fogarty, Sebastian Deffner, T. Busch, S. Campbell
- PhysicsPhysical Review Letters
- 23 October 2019
It is shown that the dynamics of the orthogonality catastrophe can be fully characterized by the quantum speed limit and, more specifically, that any quenched quantum many-body system, whose variance in ground state energy scales with the system size, exhibits the Orthog onality catastrophe.
Stable adiabatic quantum batteries.
- Alan C. Santos, B. Çakmak, S. Campbell, N. Zinner
- PhysicsPhysical Review E
- 4 June 2019
An adiabatic protocol is exploited to ensure a stable charged state of a three-level quantum battery which allows one to avoid the spontaneous discharging regime and the self-discharging of the quantum battery.
An efficient nonlinear Feshbach engine
- Jing Li, Thomás Fogarty, S. Campbell, Xi Chen, T. Busch
- Physics
- 2 September 2017
We investigate a thermodynamic cycle using a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) with nonlinear interactions as the working medium. Exploiting Feshbach resonances to change the interaction strength of the…
Energetic cost of quantum control protocols
- O. Abah, R. Puebla, A. Kiely, G. De Chiara, M. Paternostro, S. Campbell
- PhysicsNew Journal of Physics
- 17 June 2019
We quantitatively assess the energetic cost of several well-known control protocols that achieve a finite time adiabatic dynamics, namely counterdiabatic and local counterdiabatic driving, optimal…
Global and local thermometry schemes in coupled quantum systems
