• Abstract summary: The Morris-Shore (MS) transformation is a powerful tool for decomposition of multistate quantum systems. The degeneracy of the states in each set limits the application of the MS transformation in various physically interesting situations. We develop an alternative way for the derivation of Morris-Shore transformation, which can be applied to non-degenerate sets of states.

• Abstract: The Morris-Shore (MS) transformation is a powerful tool for decomposition of the dynamics of multistate quantum systems to a set of two-state systems and uncoupled single states. It assumes two sets of states wherein any state in the first set can be coupled to any state in the second set but the states within each set are not coupled between themselves. Another important condition is the degeneracy of the states in each set, although all couplings between the states from different sets can be detuned from resonance by the same detuning. The degeneracy condition limits the application of the MS transformation in various physically interesting situations, e.g. in the presence of electric and/or magnetic fields or light shifts, which lift the degeneracy in each set of states, e.g. when these sets comprise the magnetic sublevels of levels with nonzero angular momentum. This paper extends the MS transformation to such situations, in which the states in each of the two sets are nondegenerate. To this end, we develop an alternative way for the derivation of Morris-Shore transformation, which can be applied to non-degenerate sets of states. We present a generalized eigenvalue approach, by which, in the limit of small detunings from degeneracy, we are able to generate an effective Hamiltonian that is dynamically equivalent to the non-degenerate Hamiltonian. The effective Hamiltonian can be mapped to the Morris-Shore basis with a two-step similarity transformation. After the derivation of the general framework, we demonstrate the application of this technique to the popular Lambda three-state system, and the four-state tripod, double-Lambda and diamond systems. In all of these systems, our formalism allows us to reduce their quantum dynamics to simpler two-state systems even in the presence of various detunings, e.g. generated by external fields of frequency drifts.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  A central question since the beginning of quantum information science is how two distant parties can convert one entangled state into another. It has been conjectured that entangled state transformations could be executed reversibly in an regime, mirroring the nature of Carnot cycles in classical thermodynamics. We investigate the concept of an entanglement battery, an auxiliary quantum system that facilitates quantum state transformations without a net loss of entanglement.

We show that using an entangled catalyst cannot enhance the singlet distillation rate of a distillable quantum state. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of both catalytic and state transformations of entangled states.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

  We report a phenomenon occurring in open quantum systems by which virtual states can acquire a sizable population in the long time limit. This means that the situation where the virtual state remains unpopulated can be metastable. We show how these results can be relevant for practical questions such as the generation of stable and metastable entangled states in dissipative systems of interacting qubits.

• Separability and entanglement in superpositions of quantum states [0.0]
  We study the superpositions of a pure entangled state and a pure product state, when the amplitudes corresponding to the states appearing in any superposition are nonzero. All such superpositions produce only entangled states if the initial entangled state has Schmidt rank three or higher. We find that conditional inseparability of superpositions help in identifying strategies for conclusive local discrimination of shared quantum ensembles.
