Quantum Otto machine with $q$-deformed Pöschl-Teller oscillator

We study the impact of the potential parameters of the q-deformed modified Pöschl-Teller potential on the thermodynamic performance of a quantum Otto cycle, where the $q$-deformed modified Pöschl-Teller potential serves as the working substance. Analytical expressions for the energy spectrum and wave functions are derived, enabling a systematic investigation of heat exchange, work output, efficiency, and coefficient of performance. We show that $q$-deformation modifies the energy spectrum and creates distinct performance regions in the ($q$, $Δ$) parameter space. Low ($Δ$) and high ($q$) favour optimal heat engine efficiency, whereas high ($Δ$) and low ($q$) improve refrigerator performance. The heat engine efficiency peaks in the low-($Δ$), high-($q$) regime. These results highlight the q-deformed modified Pöschl-Teller potential as a versatile and tunable platform for exploring potential parameter-driven effects in quantum thermal machines.

Hardware-Free Polarization Stabilization for Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution via Correlated Twirling

Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) provides unconditional security against detector vulnerabilities, but its practical deployment is severely hindered by asymmetric channel turbulence. Fluctuations in optical fibers induce arbitrary polarization drift, degrading Hong-Ou-Mandel interference and forcing extensive calibration downtime. In this work, we propose a hardware-free polarization stabilization technique utilizing a Correlated Twirling protocol based on a unitary 2-design. By applying a synchronized, public twirling supermap, Alice and Bob mathematically transform deterministic, asymmetric geometric rotations into an isotropic Pauli depolarizing channel. Executed entirely as a virtual post-processing step during classical sifting, this protocol mathematically suppresses intrinsic channel noise by a factor of 2/3. We demonstrate through exact quantum state simulations that this induced symmetry neutralizes catastrophic axis-dependent failures, extending the Y-bias tolerance from 0.68 to 0.84 radians. Furthermore, the protocol passively extends the absolute angular misalignment tolerance for the 11% security threshold from $38.7^\circ$ to $47.9^\circ$, sustaining secure key distillation over extended fiber distances in highly turbulent regimes where standard architectures fail. Inherently compatible with decoy-state weak coherent pulses, this algorithmic approach provides a highly scalable, resource-efficient framework for robust long-distance quantum networks.

Fisher Information Measures under Lattice Combined Paul Trap

We examine how the informational properties of a confined single ion response in a Paul trap modified by optical-lattice. We focus on the ground and first excited motional states and show that Fisher information, Shannon entropy, and Fisher-Shannon complexity track the effective frequency $ω_{\mathrm{eff}}=ω\sqrt{1-κ}$ of the potential. We show that the Fisher information and Shannon entropy reflect an effective frequency-driven redistribution of information between conjugate spaces. Our results show that the Fisher-Shannon complexity measure remains invariant under effective frequency control. The invariance demonstrates that optical modulation of $κ$ rescales localization, without altering the harmonic structure of the motional states. These results establish a controlled information-theoretic baseline for lattice-assisted Paul traps. Beyond the harmonic limit, retaining the quartic lattice correction introduces non-Gaussian wavefunction features through state-dependent mixing of higher eigenstates, which breaks the mutual compensation between Fisher information and Shannon entropy that sustains the invariant. The departure of $P'$ from its harmonic reference value intensifies with $κ$ and is stronger for the excited state, which confirms that the Fisher-Shannon complexity invariance is a distinctive property of the small-oscillation harmonic regime.

Entropy production rate and correlations of cavity magnomechanical system

We present the irreversibility generated by a stationary cavity magnomechanical system composed of a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere with a diameter of a few hundred micrometers inside a microwave cavity. In this system, the magnons, i.e., collective spin excitations in the sphere, are coupled to the cavity photon mode via magnetic dipole interaction and to the phonon mode via magnetostrictive force (optomechanical-like). We employ the quantum phase space formulation of the entropy change to evaluate the steady-state entropy production rate and associated quantum correlation in the system. We find that the behavior of the entropy flow between the cavity photon mode and the phonon mode is determined by the magnon-photon coupling and the cavity photon dissipation rate. Interestingly, the entropy production rate can increase/decrease depending on the strength of the magnon-photon coupling and the detuning parameters. We further show that the amount of correlations between the magnon and phonon modes is linked to the irreversibility generated in the system for small magnon-photon coupling. Our results demonstrate the possibility of exploring irreversibility in driven magnon-based hybrid quantum systems and open a promising route for quantum thermal applications.

Irreversibility in an optical parametric driven optomechanical system

We investigate the role of nonlinearity via optical parametric oscillator on the entropy production rate and quantum correlations in a hybrid optomechanical system. Specifically, we derive the modified entropy production rate of an optical parametric oscillator placed in the optomechanical cavity which is well described by the two-mode Gaussian state. We find a dramatic deviation in the irreversibility and quantum mutual information for small detuning. Our analysis shows that the system irreversibility can be reduced by choosing the appropriate phase of the self-induced nonlinearity. We further demonstrate that the nonlinearity effect persist for a reasonable range of cavity decay rate.

Waveguide platform for quantum anticentrifugal force

This work is a proposal for an experimental platform to observe quantum fictitious anticentrifugal force. We present an analytical and numerical treatment of a rectangular toroidal dielectric waveguide. Solving the Helmholtz equation we obtain analytical solutions for transverse spatial modes and estimate their number as a function of system characteristics. On top of that, the analysis of the structure was extended onto a real material platform, a thin film lithium niobate on an insulator rib waveguide. The framework presented here can be directly applied to analyze the phenomenon of quantum anti-centrifugal force.

Avoiding Fake State or Bright Light attack on the Single-Photon Detector

The eavesdropper technique nowadays is already improved from the theoretical perspective to the experimental perspective. The technique now more focusing on the loopholes of the components used such as modulator, laser, and detector. These all components actually are the classical component which normally being used in the communication system. The technique called "blinding detector" introduce by Vadim Makarov et. al. exploit the unavailability of a true single-photon detector. The detector behavior which is avalanche photodiode (APD) is being used in almost all quantum system and exploiting its vulnerability towards the quantum attacks which is limit the potential to detect the presence of the eavesdropper attack.
