## Conformal field theory on top of a breathing one-dimensional gas of hard core bosons. (arXiv:1901.08132v1 [cond-mat.stat-mech])

The recent results of [J. Dubail, J.-M. St\'ephan, J. Viti, P. Calabrese,
Scipost Phys. 2, 002 (2017)], which aim at providing access to large scale
correlation functions of inhomogeneous critical one-dimensional quantum systems
-- e.g. a gas of hard core bosons in a trapping potential -- are extended to a
dynamical situation: a breathing gas in a time-dependent harmonic trap. Hard
core bosons in a time-dependent harmonic potential are well known to be exactly

## Operational relevance of resource theories of quantum measurements. (arXiv:1901.08566v1 [quant-ph])

For any resource theory it is essential to identify tasks for which resource
objects offer advantage over free objects. We show that this identification can
always be accomplished for resource theories of quantum measurements in which
free objects form a convex subset of measurements on a given Hilbert space. To
this aim we prove that every resource measurement offers advantage for some
quantum state discrimination task. Moreover, we give an operational

## Comment on " Approximate Analytical Versus Numerical Solutions of Schr\"odinger Equation Under Molecular Hua Potential ". (arXiv:1901.07409v2 [quant-ph] UPDATED)

We present arguments proving that the results obtained by Hassanabadi and
coworkers in the study of the D-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with
molecular Hua potential through the supersymmetry method in quantum mechanics
are incorrect. We identified the inconsistencies in their reasoning on the
allowed values of the parameter q and we constructed the correct energy
spectrum.

## Possible phonon-induced electronic bi-stability in VO$_2$ for ultrafast memory at room temperature. (arXiv:1901.08139v1 [cond-mat.str-el])

VO$_{2}$ is a model material system which exhibits a metal to insulator
transition at 67$^\circ$C. This holds potential for future ultrafast switching
in memory devices, but typically requires a purely electronic process to avoid
the slow lattice response. The role of lattice vibrations is thus important,
but it is not well understood and it has been a long-standing source of
controversy. We use a combination of ultrafast spectroscopy and ab initio
quantum calculations to unveil the mechanism responsible for the transition. We

## Theory Including Future Not Excluded -- Formulation of Complex Action Theory II --. (arXiv:1205.3706v4 [quant-ph] UPDATED)

We study a complex action theory (CAT) whose path runs over not only past but
also future. We show that if we regard a matrix element defined in terms of the
future state at time $T_B$ and the past state at time $T_A$ as an expectation
value in the CAT, then we are allowed to have the Heisenberg equation, the
Ehrenfest's theorem and the conserved probability current density. In addition
we show that the expectation value at the present time $t$ of a future-included

## Nonequilibrium steady-state Kubo formula: equality of transport coefficients. (arXiv:1806.11050v2 [cond-mat.stat-mech] CROSS LISTED)

We address the question of whether transport coefficients obtained from a
unitary closed system setting, i.e., the standard equilibrium Green-Kubo
formula, are the same as the ones obtained from a weakly driven nonequilibrium
steady-state calculation. We first derive a nonequilibrium Kubo-like expression
for the steady-state diffusion constant expressed as a time-integral of either
a current or a conserved density nonequilibrium correlation function. This

## A Quantum Algorithm to Efficiently Sample from Interfering Binary Trees. (arXiv:1901.08148v1 [quant-ph])

Quantum computers provide an opportunity to sample from probability
distributions that include non-trivial interference effects between a large
number of amplitudes of binary trees. Using a simple process wherein all
possible state histories can be specified by a binary tree, we construct an
explicit quantum algorithm that runs in polynomial time to sample from the
process once. An interesting feature of these binary trees is that the they are
not unitary, but can still be sampled on a quantum computer.

## Operator scaling: theory and applications. (arXiv:1511.03730v4 [cs.CC] UPDATED)

In this paper we present a deterministic polynomial time algorithm for
testing if a symbolic matrix in non-commuting variables over $\mathbb{Q}$ is
invertible or not. The analogous question for commuting variables is the
celebrated polynomial identity testing (PIT) for symbolic determinants. In
contrast to the commutative case, which has an efficient probabilistic
algorithm, the best previous algorithm for the non-commutative setting required
exponential time (whether or not randomization is allowed). The algorithm

## Entropy of a subalgebra of observables and the geometric entanglement entropy. (arXiv:1901.06454v1 [hep-th] CROSS LISTED)

The geometric entanglement entropy of a quantum field in the vacuum state is
known to be divergent and, when regularized, to scale as the area of the
boundary of the region. Here we introduce an operational definition of the
entropy of the vacuum restricted to a region: we consider a subalgebra of
observables that has support in the region and a finite resolution. We then
define the entropy of a state restricted to this subalgebra. For Gaussian
states, such as the vacuum of a free scalar field, we discuss how this entropy

## Heralded Generation and Detection of Entangled Microwave--Optical Photon Pairs. (arXiv:1901.08228v1 [quant-ph])

Quantum state transfer between microwave and optical frequencies is essential
for connecting superconducting quantum circuits to coherent optical systems and
extending microwave quantum networks over long distances. To build such a
hybrid `quantum Internet,' an important experiment in the quantum regime is to
entangle microwave and optical modes. Based on the model of a generic cavity
electro-optomechanical system, we present a heralded scheme to generate
entangled microwave--optical photon pairs, which can bypass the efficiency
