• Abstract: We propose to use a quantum spin chain as a device to store and release energy coherently (namely, a quantum battery) and we investigate the interplay between its internal correlations and outside decoherence. We employ the quantum Ising chain in a transverse field, and our charging protocol consists of a sudden global quantum quench in the external field to take the system out of equilibrium. Interactions with the environment and decoherence phenomena can dissipate part of the work that the chain can supply after being charged, measured by the ergotropy. We find that the system shows overall remarkably better performances, in terms of resilience, charging time, and energy storage, when topological frustration is introduced by setting AFM interactions with an odd number of sites and periodic boundary conditions. Moreover, we show that in a simple discharging protocol to an external spin, only the frustrated chain can transfer work and not just heat.

  We study shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) through counterdiabatic driving in quantum critical systems. We evaluate unitary as well as non-unitary controls, such that the system density matrix follows a prescribed trajectory. We expect the counterdiabatic protocol studied here can be of fundamental importance for understanding STA in many-body open quantum systems.

  We propose a scheme for beating environment-induced dissipation in an open two-level system coupled to a parametrically driven cavity. We demonstrate that, in the presence of the cooperation, the system dynamics can be completely dominated by the effective system-cavity interaction. This work provides a generic method of dissipation suppression in a variety of quantum mechanical platforms, including natural atoms and superconducting circuits.

  In generic closed quantum systems, the complexity of operators increases under time evolution governed by the Heisenberg equation. When systems interact with an external environment, the system-environment coupling allows operators to escape from the system. This transition is known as the environment-induced information scrambling transition, originally proposed in Majorana fermion systems.
