- Abstract: A topological frequency converter represents a dynamical counterpart of the
integer quantum Hall effect, where a two-level system enacts a quantized
time-averaged power transfer between two driving modes of incommensurate
frequency. Here, we investigate as to what extent temporal coherence in the
quantum dynamics of the two-level system is important for the topological
quantization of the converter. To this end, we consider dissipative channels
corresponding to spontaneous decay and dephasing in the instantaneous
eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian as well as spontaneous decay in a fixed basis.
The dissipation is modelled using both a full Lindblad and an effective
non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonian description. For all three dissipation channels
we find a transition from the unperturbed dynamics to a quantum watchdog
effect, which destroys any power transfer in the strong coupling limit. This is
striking because the watchdog effect leads to perfectly adiabatic dynamics in
the instantaneous eigenbasis, at first glance similar to the unperturbed case.
Furthermore, it is found that dephasing immediately leads to an exponential
decay of the power transfer in time due to loss of polarisation in the mixed
quantum state. Finally, we discuss the appearance in the effective NH
trajectory description of non-adiabatic processes, which are suppressed in the
full Lindblad dynamics.

We study a model in which the system Hamiltonian and its couplings to the noise are random matrices whose entries decay as power laws of distance.
The steady state is always featureless, but the rate at which it is approached exhibits three phases depending on $alpha_H$ and $alpha_L$.
Within perturbation theory, the phase boundaries in the $(alpha_H, alpha_L)$ plane differ for weak and strong dissipation, suggesting phase transitions as a function of noise strength.

model [0.0]
We describe a quantum dynamo effect in a driven system coupled to a harmonic oscillator describing a cavity mode or to a collection of modes forming an Ohmic bosonic bath.
This field opposes the change of the external driving field in a way reminiscent of Faraday's law of induction.
We show that the dynamo effect is directly related to the dynamically measured topology of this spin-$frac12$ and thus in the adiabatic limit provides a topologically protected method to convert driving work into a coherent field in the reservoir.
