Quantum information processing relies on the precise control of non-classical states in the
presence of many uncontrolled environmental degrees of freedom. The interactions …

Open quantum systems (OQSs) cannot always be described with the Markov approximation,
which requires a large separation of system and environment time scales. An overview is …

The theory of open quantum systems is one of the most essential tools for the development
of quantum technologies. Furthermore, the Lindblad (or Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan …

While Hermiticity lies at the heart of quantum mechanics, recent experimental advances in
controlling dissipation have brought about unprecedented flexibility in engineering non …

We consider the preparation of matrix product states (MPS) on quantum devices via
quantum circuits of local gates. We first prove that faithfully preparing translation-invariant …

The competition between scrambling unitary evolution and projective measurements leads
to a phase transition in the dynamics of quantum entanglement. Here, we demonstrate that …

An ancient and counterintuitive phenomenon known as the Mpemba effect (water can cool
faster when initially heated up) showcases the critical role of initial conditions in relaxation …

It is control that turns scientific knowledge into useful technology: in physics and engineering
it provides a systematic way for driving a dynamical system from a given initial state into a …

The study of open quantum systems–microscopic systems exhibiting quantum coherence
that are coupled to their environment–has become increasingly important in the past years …

The assumption that quantum systems relax to a stationary state in the long-time limit
underpins statistical physics and much of our intuitive understanding of scientific …
