• Abstract: We present a formulation of measurement-based feedback control of a single quantum particle in one spatial dimension. An arbitrary linear combination of the position and momentum of the particle is continuously monitored, and feedback proportional to the measured signal is used to control the system. We derive a feedback master equation and discuss a general approach to computing the steady-state solutions for arbitrary potentials. For a quantum harmonic oscillator or a free particle, we show that it is possible to cool and confine the system using feedback that simultaneously damps the measured observable and its conjugate momentum, as well as compensates for noise introduced by the measurement. In addition, we demonstrate that appropriate feedback adds a quadratic term in the measured observable to the Hamiltonian of the system. For the particular case of the harmonic potential, we describe the exact dynamics of the system that can be cooled to the ground state. Moreover, we provide an argument for the possibility to cool systems with arbitrary potentials provided that the measurement is strong enough to localise the particle on an interval smaller than the characteristic length scale of the potential.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
