We study the thermalization of an ensemble of $N$ elementary, arbitrarily-complex, quantum systems, mutually noninteracting but coupled as electric or magnetic dipoles to a blackbody radiation. The elementary systems can be all the same or…
Measurements can be used to monitor the evolution of quantum systems and can give rise to quantized return statistics. It is known that the mean return time is quantized for strong monitoring through the winding number of the monitored…
Rydberg atom arrays are powerful platforms for studying quantum many-body systems. We consider the Rydberg-Ising Hamiltonian on periodic chains and numerically study ensembles of states generated by random global pulse sequences subject to…
In this paper, we establish a general theoretical framework for the description of continuous quantum measurements and the statistics of the results of such measurements. The framework concerns the measurement of an arbitrary quantum system…
We present quantitative predictions for quantum simulator experiments on Ising models from trapped ions to Rydberg chains and show how the thermalization, and thus decoherence times, can be controlled by considering common, independent, and…
We study entanglement dynamics in a system consisting of a qubit dispersively coupled to a finite-temperature, dissipative, driven oscillator. We show that there are two generic ways to generate entanglement: one can entangle the qubit…
A finite-dimensional quantum system is coupled to a bath of oscillators in thermal equilibrium at temperature $T>0$. We show that for fixed, small values of the coupling constant $\lambda$, the true reduced dynamics of the system is…
We experimentally study the ergodic dynamics of a 1D array of 12 superconducting qubits with a transverse field, and identify the regimes of strong and weak thermalization with different initial states. We observe convergence of the local…
The most general description of quantum evolution up to a time $\tau$ is a completely positive tracing preserving map known as a dynamical map $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$. Here we consider $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$ arising from suddenly coupling a…
Entanglement is a fundamental feature of quantum physics and a key resource for quantum communication, computing and sensing. Entangled states are fragile and maintaining coherence is a central challenge in quantum information processing.…
Lieb-Robinson bounds are powerful analytical tools for constraining the dynamic and static properties of non-relativistic quantum systems. Recently, a complete picture for closed systems that evolve unitarily in time has been achieved. In…
We demonstrate the validity of Landauer's erasure principle in the strong coupling quantum regime by treating the system-reservoir interaction in a consistent way. We show that the initial coupling to the reservoir modifies both energy and…
The time-dependent behavior of a two-level system interacting with a quantum oscillator system is analyzed in the case of a coupling larger than both the energy separation between the two levels and the energy of quantum oscillator ($\Omega…
We introduce a new theoretical approach to dissipative quantum systems. By means of a continuous sequence of infinitesimal unitary transformations, we decouple the small quantum system that one is interested in from its thermodynamically…
We study the mixing time of a recently proposed efficiently implementable Lindbladian designed to prepare the Gibbs states in the setting of weakly interacting fermionic systems. We show that at any temperature, the Lindbladian spectral gap…
A quantum trajectory is the natural response of a quantum system subject to external perturbations due to continuous indirect measurement. We completely characterize the asymptotic behavior of continuously monitored quantum systems in…
The energy conversion efficiency of far-from-equilibrium systems is generally limited by irreversible thermodynamic fluxes that make contact with different heat baths. For complex systems, the states of the maximum efficiency and the…
We study the thermodynamic performance of a periodic quantum Otto cycle operating on the single-impurity Anderson model. Using a decomposition of the time-evolution generator based on the principle of minimal dissipation, combined with the…
We propose that nonequilibrium quantum criticality in open systems at both zero and finite temperatures can be described by a master equation of the Lindblad form. We derive this equation from a system coupling microscopic to a heat bath.…
We consider the time development of the density matrix for a system coupled to a thermal bath, in models that go beyond the standard two-level systems through addition of an energy excitation degree of freedom and through the possibility of…
