• Abstract: Nonholonomic mechanics describes systems subject to non-integrable velocity constraints, such as rolling bodies and skating motion. These systems generally lack a canonical Hamiltonian formulation, obstructing standard quantization methods. Here we quantize nonholonomic systems as Markovian open quantum systems, with the nonholonomic constraint appearing in a large-dissipation limit. We find explicit Lindblad superoperators that reproduce the classical dynamics of the Chaplygin sleigh and the Suslov problem in the semiclassical limit. The master equation is numerically simulated, and the covariance is shown to satisfy a relation predicted by the theory of metastability in open quantum systems.

• Realizing the entanglement Hamiltonian of a topological quantum Hall system [10.092164351939825]
  Topological quantum many-body systems, such as Hall insulators, are characterized by a hidden order encoded in the entanglement between their constituents. Entanglement entropy, an experimentally accessible single number that globally quantifies entanglement, has been proposed as a first signature of topological order. We use a synthetic dimension, encoded in the electronic spin of dysprosium atoms, to implement spatially deformed Hall systems.

• Decimation technique for open quantum systems: a case study with driven-dissipative bosonic chains [62.997667081978825]
  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

• Robust Control Performance for Open Quantum Systems [0.0]
  A formalism is developed to measure performance based on the transmission of a dynamic perturbation or initial state preparation error. A difficulty arising from the singularity of the closed-loop Bloch equations for the quantum state is overcome by introducing the #-inversion lemma. Additional difficulties occur when symmetry gives rise to multiple open-loop poles, which under symmetry-breaking unfold into single eigenvalues.
