• Abstract: We design quantum refrigerators based on spin-j quantum XYZ and bilinear-biquadratic models with individual spins attached to bosonic thermal baths. By considering both local and global master equations, we illustrate an enhancement in the performance of the refrigerators with an increase in the spin dimension irrespective of the choice of the spin models. To assess the performance of the refrigerators, we introduce a distance-based measure to quantify the local temperature of a particle with arbitrary spin quantum number j. Interestingly, we find that the local temperature quantifier, defined via minimizing the distance between a spin-j thermal state and the evolved state of the spin-j particle in the steady state, coincides with the population-based definition of local temperature known in the literature for spin-1/2 particles. Moreover, we demonstrate that the qualitative behavior of the distance-based local temperature is independent of the choice of the distance measure by comparing the trace distance, Uhlmann's fidelity and relative entropy distance. We further observe by computing local master equation that the quantum refrigerator consisting of a spin-1/2 and a spin-j particle can lead to a lower local temperature compared to a refrigerator with two identical spin-j particles following the XYZ interactions.

  We have performed classical and quantum dynamical simulations to calculate quantities for physical processes of atom. The rate of escaping probability of the scattered particle obtained by classical simulation increases with increasing surface temperature. The quantum rate is almost temperature independent at 2 meV incident energy of the particle, whereas it shows same trend with the classical results at 5 meV and the quantum rate is lower than the classical rate.

  Motivated by these advances, we propose experimentally accessible, local, time-dependent protocols to explore the spatial thermalization profile. We identify distinct parametric regimes for the ferromagnetic ($X$-polarized) initial state based on the interplay between the driven spin and the rest. We develop a real and Floquet space picture that explains our numerical observations, and make predictions that can be tested in various experimental setups.

We show that the temporal fluctuations of the expectation value of the collective spin observable around its average are small and decrease with the effective system size.

  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.

• Designing Robust Quantum Refrigerators in Disordered Spin Models [0.0]
  We explore a small quantum refrigerator in which the working substance is made of paradigmatic nearest-neighbor quantum spin models. We identify a specific range of interaction strengths which can be tuned appropriately to ensure a cooling of the selected spin. In this domain, when one of the interaction strengths is disordered, the performance of the thermal machine operating as a refrigerator remains almost unchanged.

  We propose a two-terminal cold-atom simulator to study the interaction between spins and temperature. The proposed quantum simulator consists of strongly interacting atoms that occupy two temperature reservoirs connected by a one-dimensional link. We show the existence of a spin current in a system with a temperature difference by studying the dynamics that follows the spin-flip of an atom in the link.
