Quantum speed limits: from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to optimal quantum control

S Deffner, S Campbell - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Bounds in nonequilibrium quantum dynamics

Z Gong, R Hamazaki - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2022 - World Scientific
We review various bounds concerning out-of-equilibrium dynamics in few-level and many-
body quantum systems. We primarily focus on closed quantum systems but will also mention …

Quantum speed limit for non-Markovian dynamics

S Deffner, E Lutz - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We derive a Margolus-Levitin-type bound on the minimal evolution time of an arbitrarily
driven open quantum system. We express this quantum speed limit time in terms of the …

Quantum speed limit for physical processes

MM Taddei, BM Escher, L Davidovich… - Physical review …, 2013 - APS
The evaluation of the minimal evolution time between two distinguishable states of a system
is important for assessing the maximal speed of quantum computers and communication …

Quantum speed limits in open system dynamics

A del Campo, IL Egusquiza, MB Plenio, SF Huelga - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
Bounds to the speed of evolution of a quantum system are of fundamental interest in
quantum metrology, quantum chemical dynamics, and quantum computation. We derive a …

Generalized geometric quantum speed limits

DP Pires, M Cianciaruso, LC Céleri, G Adesso… - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
The attempt to gain a theoretical understanding of the concept of time in quantum mechanics
has triggered significant progress towards the search for faster and more efficient quantum …

Speed limit for classical stochastic processes

N Shiraishi, K Funo, K Saito - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We consider the speed limit for classical stochastic Markov processes with and without the
local detailed balance condition. We find that, for both cases, a trade-off inequality exists …

Quantum speed limit is not quantum

M Okuyama, M Ohzeki - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
The quantum speed limit (QSL), or the energy-time uncertainty relation, describes the
fundamental maximum rate for quantum time evolution and has been regarded as being …

Generalized Clausius inequality for nonequilibrium quantum processes

S Deffner, E Lutz - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We show that the nonequilibrium entropy production for a driven quantum system is larger
than the Bures length, the geometric distance between its actual state and the …

General optimality of the Heisenberg limit for quantum metrology

M Zwierz, CA Pérez-Delgado, P Kok - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
Quantum metrology promises improved sensitivity in parameter estimation over classical
procedures. However, there is a debate over the question of how the sensitivity scales with …
