• Abstract: Dissipative processes can drive different magnetic orders in quantum spin chains. Using a non-perturbative analytic mapping framework, we systematically show how to structure different magnetic orders in spin systems by controlling the locality of the attached baths. Our mapping approach reveals analytically the impact of spin-bath couplings, leading to the suppression of spin splittings, bath-dressing and mixing of spin-spin interactions, and emergence of non-local ferromagnetic interactions between spins coupled to the same bath, which become long-ranged for a global bath. Our general mapping method can be readily applied to a variety of spin models: We demonstrate (i) a bath-induced transition from antiferromangnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic ordering in a Heisenberg spin chain, (ii) AFM to extended Neel phase ordering within a transverse-field Ising chain with pairwise couplings to baths, and (iii) a quantum phase transition in the fully-connected Ising model. Our method is non-perturbative in the system-bath coupling. It holds for a variety of non-Markovian baths and it can be readily applied towards studying bath-engineered phases in frustrated or topological materials.

  We propose multi-layer moire structures in strong external magnetic fields as a novel platform for realizing frustrated Hubbard physics with topological order. We identify the layer degree of freedom as a pseudo spin and control ring-exchange processes and concurrently quenching the kinetic energy by large external magnetic fields. We find that this topologically ordered state remains exceptionally stable towards relevant perturbations.

  We study the dynamics of a generalized Heisenberg star consisting of a spin-$S$ central spin and an inhomogeneously coupled XXZ chain of 16$ bath spins. By preparing the XXZ bath in a N'eel state, we find that in the gapless phase of the bath even weak system-bath coupling could lead to nearly perfect relaxation of the antiferromagnetic order.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.

  We study the interplay between the spin-orbit and Zeeman interactions acting on a spinful Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. In the absence of the Zeeman field, we prove that the topology of the chain is not affected by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Remarkably, the joint effect of the two spin-related interactions leads to novel edge states that appear in the gap formed by the anti-crossing of the bands of a finite spinful dimerized chain.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
