Dissipative cooling towards phantom Bethe states in boundary driven XXZ spin chain

Abstract

A dissipative method that allows to access family of phantom Bethe-states (PBS) of boundary driven XXZ spin chains, is introduced. The method consists in coupling the ends of the open spin chain to suitable dissipative magnetic baths to force the edge spins to satisfy specific boundary conditions necessary for the PBS existence. Cumulative monotonous depopulation of the non-chiral components of the density matrix with growing dissipation amplitude is analogous to the depopulation of high-energy states in response to thermal cooling. Compared to generic states, PBS have strong chirality, nontrivial topology and carry high spin currents.
