A pedagogical overview of analytical and numerical techniques used to characterize current fluctuations in Markovian systems is presented, helping to bridge knowledge between condensed-matter physics and quantum optics.

General mechanisms of photon-mediated entanglement generation are elucidated in a pedagogical way, and codes are made available for the practical evaluation of protocols.

The most exciting cutting-edge research submitted from now through December 2024 is eligible for our final selection.

An effective quantum field theory for composite bosons is proposed that could facilitate modeling higher precision clocks and matter-wave interferometers including relativistic effects.

An active, on-demand dissipation device provides faster readout resonator reset and improved transmon coherence, creating a modular tool for entropy removal in circuit QED.

A competitive technique for measuring magnetic fields of several teslas is proposed, and applications in medical MRI are demonstrated.

Novel results show that there are entanglement advantages even in protocols involving only two-party product measurements, opening the way to new entanglement certification schemes.

Graph-theoretic tools are used to obtain rigorous lower bounds on the ground-state energy of quantum many-body Hamiltonians made up of Pauli strings.

A method that makes use of ideas from convex optimization is proposed for efficiently computing rigorous bounds on the performance of noisy quantum circuits.
