The evolution of a driven quantum system is said to be adiabatic whenever the state of the system stays close to an instantaneous eigenstate of its time-dependent Hamiltonian. The celebrated quantum adiabatic theorem ensures that such pure…
Time-periodic driving provides a promising route to engineer non-trivial states in quantum many-body systems. However, while it has been shown that the dynamics of integrable systems can synchronize with the driving into a non-trivial…
We shift the paradigm of feedback control from the control of quantum states to the control of phase transitions in quantum systems. We show that feedback allows tuning the universality class of phase transitions via modifying its critical…
