We put forth, theoretically and experimentally, the possibility of drastically cooling down (purifying) thermal ensembles (baths) of solid-state spins via a sequence of projective measurements of a probe spin that couples to the bath in an arbitrary fashion. If the measurement intervals are chosen to correspond to the anti-Zeno regime of the probe-bath exchange, then a short sequence of measurements with selected outcomes is found to have an appreciable success probability. Such a sequence is shown to condition the bath evolution so that it can dramatically enhance the bath-state purity and yield a low-entropy steady state of the bath. This purified bath state persists after the measurements and can be chosen, on-demand, to allow for Zeno- or anti-Zeno- like evolution of quantum systems coupled to the purified bath. The experimental setup for observing these effects consists of a Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) center in diamond at low temperature that acts as a probe of the surrounding nuclear spin bath. The NV single-shot measurements are induced by optical fields at microsecond intervals.

We demonstrate through exact solutions that a spin bath leads to stronger (faster) dephasing of a qubit than a bosonic bath with identical bath-coupling spectrum. This difference is due to the spin-bath dressing by the coupling. Consequently, the qua
ntum statistics of the bath strongly affects the pulse sequences required to dynamically decouple the qubit from its bath.
We address the discrimination of structured baths at different temperatures by dephasing quantum probes. We derive the exact reduced dynamics and evaluate the minimum error probability achievable by three different kinds of quantum probes, namely a q
ubit, a qutrit and a quantum register made of two qubits. Our results indicate that dephasing quantum probes are useful in discriminating low values of temperature, and that lower probabilities of error are achieved for intermediate values of the interaction time. A qutrit probe outperforms a qubit one in the discrimination task, whereas a register made of two qubits does not offer any advantage compared to two single qubits used sequentially.
We show that quantum absorption refrigerators, which has traditionally been studied as of three qubits, each of which is connected to a thermal reservoir, can also be constructed by using three qubits and two thermal baths, where two of the qubits, i
ncluding the qubit to be cooled, are connected to a common bath. With a careful choice of the system, bath, and qubit-bath interaction parameters within the Born-Markov and rotating wave approximations, one of the qubits attached to the common bath achieves a cooling in the steady-state. We observe that the proposed refrigerator may also operate in a parameter regime where no or negligible steady-state cooling is achieved, but there is considerable transient cooling. The steady-state temperature can be lowered significantly by an increase in the strength of the few-body interaction terms existing due to the use of the common bath in the refrigerator setup, proving the importance of the two-bath setup over the conventional three-bath construction. The proposed refrigerator built with three qubits and two baths is shown to provide steady-state cooling for both Markovian qubit-bath interactions between the qubits and canonical bosonic thermal reservoirs, and a simpler reset model for the qubit-bath interactions.
Frequent observation of a quantum system leads to quantum Zeno physics, where the system evolution is constrained to states commensurate with the measurement outcome. We show that, more generally, the system can evolve between such states through hig
her-order virtual processes that pass through states outside the measurement subspace. We derive effective Hamiltonians to describe this evolution, and the dependence on the time between measurements. We demonstrate application of this phenomena to prototypical quantum many-body system examples, spin chains and atoms in optical lattices, where it facilitates correlated dynamical effects.
The effect of the anti-rotating terms on the short-time evolution and the quantum Zeno (QZE) and anti-Zeno (AQZE) effects is studied for a two-level system coupled to a bosonic environment. A unitary transformation and perturbation theory are used to
obtain the electron self-energy, energy shift and the enhanced QZE or the AQZE, simultaneously. The calculated Zeno time depends on the atomic transition frequency sensitively. When the atomic transition frequency is smaller than the central frequency of the spectrum of boson environment, the Zeno time is prolonged and the anti-rotating terms enhance the QZE; when it is larger than that the Zeno time is reduced and the anti-rotating terms enhance the AQZE.
