We propose a technique for polarizing and cooling finite many-body systems using feedback control. The technique requires the system to have one collective degree of freedom conserved by the internal dynamics. The fluctuations of other degrees of freedom are then converted into the growth of the conserved one. The proposal is validated using numerical simulations of classical and quantum spin systems in a setting representative of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance experiments. In particular, we were able to achieve 90 percent polarization for a lattice of 1000 classical spins starting from an unpolarized infinite temperature state.

We demonstrate the effectiveness of quantum optimal control techniques in harnessing irreversibility generated by non-equilibrium processes, implemented in unitarily evolving quantum many-body systems. We address the dynamics of a finite-size quantum Ising model subjected to finite-time transformations, which unavoidably generate irreversibility. We show that work can be generated through such transformation by means of optimal controlled quenches, while quenching the degree of irreversibility to very low values, thus boosting the efficiency of the process and paving the way to a fully controllable non-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum processes.
We develop a scheme for engineering genuine thermal states in analog quantum simulation platforms by coupling local degrees of freedom to driven, dissipative ancilla pseudospins. We demonstrate the scheme in a many-body quantum spin lattice simulation setting. A Born-Markov master equation describing the dynamics of the many-body system is developed, and we show that if the ancilla energies are periodically modulated, with a carefully chosen hierarchy of timescales, one can effectively thermalize the many-body system. Through analysis of the time-dependent dynamical generator, we determine the conditions under which the true thermal state is an approximate dynamical fixed point for general system Hamiltonians. Finally, we evaluate the thermalization protocol through numerical simulation and discuss prospects for implementation on current quantum simulation hardware.
We propose a dissipative method for the preparation of many-body steady entangled states in spin and fermionic chains. The scheme is accomplished by means of an engineered set of Lindbladians acting over the eigenmodes of the system, whose spectrum is assumed to be resolvable. We apply this idea to prepare a particular entangled state of a spin chain described by the XY model, emphasizing its generality and experimental feasibility. Our results show that our proposal is capable of achieving high fidelities and purities for a given target state even when dephasing and thermal dissipative processes are taken into account. Moreover, the method exhibits a remarkable robustness against fluctuations in the model parameters.
A numerical approach is presented that allows to compute nonequilibrium steady state properties of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. The method is imbedded in the Keldysh Greens function formalism and is based upon the idea of the variational cluster approach as far as the treatment of strong correlations is concerned. It appears that the variational aspect is crucial as it allows for a suitable optimization of a reference system to the nonequilibrium target state. The approach is neither perturbative in the many-body interaction nor in the field, that drives the system out of equilibrium, and it allows to study strong perturbations and nonlinear responses of systems in which also the correlated region is spatially extended. We apply the presented approach to non-linear transport across a strongly correlated quantum wire described by the fermionic Hubbard model. We illustrate how the method bridges to cluster dynamical mean-field theory upon coupling two baths containing and increasing number of uncorrelated sites.
Quantum coherence phenomena driven by electronic-vibrational (vibronic) interactions, are being reported in many pulse (e.g. laser) driven chemical and biophysical systems. But what systems-level advantage(s) do such many-body coherences offer to future technologies? We address this question for pulsed systems of general size N, akin to the LHCII aggregates found in green plants. We show that external pulses generate vibronic states containing particular multipartite entanglements, and that such collective vibronic states increase the excitonic transfer efficiency. The strength of these many-body coherences and their robustness to decoherence, increase with aggregate size N and do not require strong electronic-vibrational coupling. The implications for energy and information transport are discussed.
