Equilibrium and nonequilibrium steady states with the repeated interaction protocol: Relaxation dynamics and energetic cost
Alessandro Prositto, Madeline Forbes, Dvira Segal
We study the dynamics of a qubit system interacting with thermalized bath-ancilla spins via a repeated interaction scheme. Considering generic initial conditions for the system and…
