• Abstract: We show that heat production in slowly driven quantum systems is linked to the topological structure of the driving protocol through the Fubini-Study tensor. Analyzing a minimal model of a spin weakly coupled to a heat bath, we find that dissipation is controlled by the quantum metric and a "quality factor" characterizing the spin's precession. Utilizing these findings, we establish lower bounds on the heating rate in two-tone protocols, such as those employed in topological frequency converters. Notably, these bounds are determined by the topology of the protocol, independent of its microscopic details. Our results bridge topological phenomena and energy dissipation in slowly driven quantum systems, providing a design principle for optimal driving protocols.

• Amplification of quantum transfer and quantum ratchet [56.47577824219207]
  We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model. The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels. Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

  Simulated cooling is a robust method for preparing low-energy states of many-body Hamiltonians on quantum simulators. We show how to efficiently cool the ferromagnetic phase of the quantum Ising model, whose excitations are domain walls. We show that our protocol can prepare the ground states of the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases equally efficiently.

  We design a hierarchy of quantum state preparation protocols that systematically increase the fidelity at very long driving times. We test these and other protocols, including those based on the geometric analysis of the parameter space, in a single-qubit system and in a fully connected multi-qubit system.

  Chiral edge states are sought-after as paradigmatic topological states relevant to quantum information processing and electron transport. We demonstrate chiral topological propagation that is induced by suitably designed interactions, instead of flux or spin-orbit coupling. By taking advantage of the quantum nature of the platform, we circumvented difficulties from the limited qubit number and gate fidelity in present-day noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ)-era quantum computers.

• Probing infinite many-body quantum systems with finite-size quantum simulators [0.0]
  We propose a protocol that makes optimal use of a given finite-size simulator by directly preparing, on its bulk region, a mixed state. For systems of free fermions in one and two spatial dimensions, we illustrate and explain the underlying physics. For the example of a non-integrable extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we demonstrate that our protocol enables a more accurate study of QPTs.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
