The Wigner function was formulated in 1932 by Eugene Paul Wigner, at a time when
quantum mechanics was in its infancy. In doing so, he brought phase space representations …

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are a versatile tool for realizing coherent quantum interfaces
between various solid-state qubits spanning microwave to optical frequencies. Through …

The coherent control of optical phonons has been experimentally demonstrated in various
physical systems. While the transient dynamics for optical phonons can be explained by …

Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride show stable single photon emission even at room
temperature, making these systems a promising candidate for quantum information …

To exploit the full potential of chips for quantum technologies, it is worth considering all
possible opportunities offered by the solid state. The aspect covered in this article is the use …

We propose a method for increasing Raman scattering from an ensemble of molecules by
up to 4 orders of magnitude. Our method requires an additional coherent source of IR …

The concept of quantum‐mechanical nematic order, which is important in systems such as
superconductors, is based on an analogy to classical liquid crystals, where order …

We calculate the resonance fluorescence signal of a two-level system coupled to a
quantized phonon mode. By treating the phonons in the independent boson model and not …

To observe a vibrational instability in a molecule or Raman lasing, the molecules should be
placed in a resonator and illuminated by a laser. Both these phenomena are self-oscillations …

Wigner functions, allowing for a reformulation of quantum mechanics in phase space, are of
central importance for the study of the quantum-classical transition. A full understanding of …
