QuantERA project
QuCABOoSE
Quantum Coherence Activation
By Open Systems and Environments
About
With QuCABOoSE, we challenge the belief that interactions with a bath necessarily diminish
quantum effects forever and, thereby, restrict the progress in the fields of quantum science
and technology. Our ambitious vision is to establish open systems as systems that are, in
fact, supplemented by a quantum environment, rather than being impaired through the
environment, shining a new light on an untapped resource for quantum applications and their
physical implementations. By considering the full quantum nature of and quantum interaction
between systems and environments, we target three main objectives:
O1 noise-activated quantum correlations
O2 environment-assisted quantum algorithms
and O3 multiplatform noise characterization.
We tackle the aforementioned research goals from a combined theoretical-experimental
perspective, without limiting us to a specific physical system. On the one hand,
quantum-noise control and system-bath quantum entanglement, for example, serves as a testbed
to probe the fundamental advantages of a full system-environment
quantum picture, allowing us to explore how previously lost quantum features can rebound
through environment backactions. On the other side of the spectrum, quantum protocols are
devised that, for example, (re-)activate quantum correlations due to the presence of
and interaction with an environment. By covering
the range from fundamental to applied, the project’s findings advance our knowledge of open
quantum systems as well as offer a fresh approach to quantum information science in
realistic systems.
