Friction as a consistent quantum-mechanical concept
Dmitry V. Zhdanov, Denys I. Bondar, Tamar Seideman
A quantum analog of friction (understood as a completely positive, Markovian, translation-invariant and phenomenological model of dissipation) is known to be in odds with the detai…
Structure of optimal policies in quantum control
Dmitry V. Zhdanov, Tamar Seideman
Using the Pontryagin maximum principle, the generic structure of optimal policies is deduced for typical quantum control tasks involving coherent lasers, magnetic fields and reserv…
No thermalization without correlations
Dmitry V. Zhdanov, Denys I. Bondar, Tamar Seideman
The proof of the long-standing conjecture is presented that Markovian quantum master equations are at odds with quantum thermodynamics under conventional assumptions of fluctuation…
Quantum friction: environment engineering perspectives
Dmitry V. Zhdanov, Denys I. Bondar, Tamar Seideman
We prove a generalization of the Lindblad's fundamental no-go result: A quantum system cannot be completely frozen and, in some cases, even thermalized via translationally invarian…
Non-conservative Forces via Quantum Reservoir Engineering
Shanon L. Vuglar, Dmitry V. Zhdanov, Renan Cabrera +3
A systematic approach is given for engineering dissipative environments that steer quantum wavepackets along desired trajectories. The methodology is demonstrated with several illu…
Quantum optimal environment engineering for efficient photoinduced charge separation
Dmitry V. Zhdanov, Tamar Seideman
The possibility to induce predetermined coherent quantum dynamics by controlling only the dissipative environmental parameters (such as temperature and pressure) is studied using t…
