• Abstract: Quantum Mpemba effect describes an anomalous phenomenon of accelerated relaxation which is of fundamental interest in the field of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Conventional theories on this phenomenon strongly rely on the Born-Markovian approximation, but this effect is not well understood in non-Markovian regimes. By investigating the relaxation process within the framework of a general non-Markovian dynamics, we propose a mechanism of realizing the quantum Mpemba effect via non-Markovian exceptional points. We verify the feasibility of this mechanism in a dissipative quantum harmonic oscillator model. Providing a new insight into the interesting non-equilibrium dynamics phenomenon, our work paves a way to accelerate the transfer of energy and information in quantum systems.

• Exponentially accelerated approach to stationarity in Markovian open quantum systems through the Mpemba effect [0.0]
  We show that the relaxation dynamics of Markovian open quantum systems can be accelerated exponentially by devising an optimal unitary transformation. This initial "rotation" is engineered in such a way that the state of the quantum system becomes to the slowest decaying dynamical mode. We illustrate our idea by showing how to achieve an exponential speed-up in the convergence to stationarity in Dicke models.
