• Abstract summary: Protocol can be efficiently implemented by means of a pulsed, stroboscopic coupling with the ancilla. We analyse the protocol's fidelity as a function of the strength of the coupling and of the relaxation rate of the meter. Surprisingly, the adiabatic transfer is significantly more efficient in the opposite regime, where the time scale of the ancilla dynamics is comparable to the characteristic spin time scale.

• Abstract: We propose a protocol that achieves fast adiabatic transfer between two orthogonal states of a qubit by coupling with an ancilla. The qubit undergoes Landau-Zener dynamics, whereas the coupling realizes a time-dependent Hamiltonian, which is diagonal in the spin's instantaneous Landau-Zener eigenstates. The ancilla (or meter), in turn, couples to a thermal bath, such that the overall dynamics is incoherent. We analyse the protocol's fidelity as a function of the strength of the coupling and of the relaxation rate of the meter. When the meter's decay rate is the largest frequency scale of the dynamics, the spin dynamics is encompassed by a master equation describing dephasing of the spin in the instantaneous eigenbasis. In this regime the fidelity of adiabatic transfer improves as the bath temperature is increased. Surprisingly, the adiabatic transfer is significantly more efficient in the opposite regime, where the time scale of the ancilla dynamics is comparable to the characteristic spin time scale. Here, for low temperatures the coupling with the ancilla tends to suppress diabatic transitions via effective cooling. The protocol can be efficiently implemented by means of a pulsed, stroboscopic coupling with the ancilla and is robust against moderate fluctuations of the experimental parameters.

  We study the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to a metallic bath and subject to continuous monitoring of its charge density. We show that the decay time scale of an initially polarised spin which is suddenly coupled to the bath displays a crossover from Kondo screening, with a lifetime controlled by interactions, to Quantum Zeno effect.

  A topological frequency converter represents a dynamical counterpart of the integer quantum Hall effect. We consider dissipative channels corresponding to spontaneous decay and dephasing in the instantaneous eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian. We find a transition from the unperturbed dynamics to a quantum watchdog effect, which destroys any power transfer in the strong coupling limit.

  We study the effect of spontaneous emission and incoherent atomic pumping on the nonlinear semiclassical dynamics of the unbalanced Dicke model. As well as the ubiquitous superradiant behavior the Dicke model is well-known for, the addition of spontaneous emission combined with the presence of strong counter-rotating terms creates laser-like behavior termed counter-lasing.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  We report on the switching dynamics of both single and coupled VO2-based oscillators, with resistive and capacitive coupling, and explore the capability of their application in neural networks. For the resistive coupling, it is shown that synchronization takes place at a certain value of the coupling resistance, though it is unstable and a synchronization failure occurs periodically. For the capacitive coupling, two synchronization modes, with weak and strong coupling, are found. The transition between these modes is accompanied by chaotic oscillations.

• Thermal coupling and effect of subharmonic synchronization in a system of two VO2 based oscillators [55.41644538483948]
  We explore a prototype of an oscillatory neural network (ONN) based on vanadium dioxide switching devices. The effective action radius RTC of coupling depends both on the total energy released during switching and on the average power. In the case of a strong thermal coupling, the limit of the supply current parameters, for which the oscillations exist, expands by 10 %. The effect of subharmonic synchronization hold promise for application in classification and pattern recognition.
