We present a general non-perturbative method to determine the exact steady state of open quantum systems under perturbation. The method works for systems with a unique steady state and the perturbation may be time-independent or periodic,…
Control of quantum dissipative systems can be challenging because control variables are typically part of the system Hamiltonian, which can only generate motion along unitary orbits of the system. To transit between orbits, one must harness…

Recently, there have been significant new insights concerning conditions under which closed systems equilibrate locally. The question if subsystems thermalize---if the equilibrium state is independent of the initial state---is however much…
In this Letter we consider stationary states of dissipative quantum systems. We discuss stationary states of dissipative quantum systems, which coincide with stationary states of Hamiltonian quantum systems. Dissipative quantum systems with…
We study synchronization in the XX qubit chain subject to local or multi-local amplitude-damping noise. Analyzing the decoherence-free subspace (DFS) structure of the model, we show that it is completely determined by a simple…
We investigate a celebrated problem of one dimensional tight binding model in the presence of disorder leading to Anderson localization from a novel perspective. A binary disorder is assumed to be created by immobile heavy particles for the…
In the power scale, the asymptotic behavior of the singular values of a compact Hankel operator is determined by the behavior of the symbol in a neighborhood of its singular support. In this paper, we discuss the localization principle…
In specific open systems with collective dissipation the Liouvillian can be mapped to a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We here consider such a system where the Liouvillian is mapped to an XXZ Richardson-Gaudin integrable model and detail its…
