In a recent work, S.A.R. Horsley and coworkers [Nature Photon 9, 436-439 (2015)] showed rather interestingly that planar dielectric media, for which the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric permittivity are related by spatial Kramers-Kronig (KK) relations, are one-way reflectionless, whatever the angle of incidence. Such a fascinating property, besides of extending our comprehension of the fundamental phenomenon of reflection, may offer new ways for the design of antireflection surfaces and thin materials with efficient light absorption. However, KK dielectric media are generally describ…

The Gibbs partition function is an important quantity in describing statistical properties of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. There are several proposals to calculate the partition functions on near-team quantum computers. However, the existing schemes require many copies of the Gibbs states to perform an extrapolation for the calculation of the partition function, and these could be costly performed on the near-term quantum computers. Here, we propose an efficient scheme to calculate the Gibbs function with the imaginary time evolution. To calculate the Gibbs function of $N$ qubits, on…
Recently, Heim, Ronnow, Isakov and Troyer [Science 348 (2015) 215] have reported that Monte Carlo simulations for the Ising spin glass model on the square lattice in the physically relevant continuous-imaginary-time limit do not show superiority of quantum annealing (QA) using transverse field against classical annealing (CA). Although the QA schedule that they had used has been using conventionally, however the QA schedule mathematically has no guarantee that the used schedule is the best QA schedule for performance of optimization. We propose a new QA schedule for studying transverse-field-b…

There is increasing interest in quantum algorithms that are based on the imaginary-time evolution (ITE), a successful classical numerical approach to obtain ground states. However, most of the proposals so far require heavy post-processing computational steps on a classical computer, such as solving linear equations. Here we provide an alternative approach to implement ITE. A key feature in our approach is the use of an orthogonal basis set: the propagated state is efficiently expressed in terms of orthogonal basis states at every step of the evolution. We argue that the number of basis states…
A propagator for the one dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation with an asymmetric rectangular potential is obtained using the multiple-scattering theory approach. It allows for the consideration of the reflection and transmission processes as the particle scattering at the potential jump (in contrast to the conventional wave-like picture) and for accounting for the nonclassical counterintuitive contribution of the backward-moving component of the wave packet attributed to the particle. This propagator completely resolves the corresponding time-dependent Schrödinger equation (defines …

We investigate the scattering properties of an anti-parity-symmetric non-Hermitian system. The anti-parity-symmetric scattering center possesses imaginary nearest-neighbor hoppings and real onsite potentials, it has been experimentally realized through dissipative coupling and frequency detuning between atomic spin waves. We find that such anti-parity-symmetric system displays three salient features: Firstly, the reflection and transmission are both reciprocal. Secondly, the reflection and transmission probabilities satisfy R+T=1 or R-T=1, which depends on the parity of the scattering center s…

We propose a solid-state implementation of the Larmor clock that exploits tunnel magnetoresistance to distill information on how long itinerant spins take to traverse a barrier embedded in it. Keeping in mind that the tunnelling time innately involves pristine pre-selection and post-selection, our proposal takes into account the detrimental aspects of multiple reflections by incorporating multiple contacts, multiple current measurements and suitably defined magnetoresistance signals. Our analysis provides a direct mapping between the magnetoresistance signals and the tunneling times and aligns…
