In this note we explicitly solve the Lindblad equation for a system of three spins with a three-body interaction, coupled to the environment by bath operators that inject or absorb spin carriers. We exemplify the properties of this solution…
We prove a generalization of the Lindblad's fundamental no-go result: A quantum system cannot be completely frozen and, in some cases, even thermalized via translationally invariant dissipation -- the quantum friction. Nevertheless, a…
We study an entanglement transfer protocol in a two-leg ladder spin-1/2 chain in the presence of disorder. In the regime where on-site energies and the intrachain couplings follow aproximately constant proportions locally, we set up a…
Entanglement in quantum systems is usually degraded by interaction with the environment. From time to time, some parties of a multipartite entangled system may become decoherent with other parties of the system due to the interference with…
