DRIVEN-DISSIPATIVE ARCHITECTURES: NEW ROUTES TO QUANTUM PHASES AND TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
New technologies have given rise to numerous forms of quantum matter synthesized in the lab, have provided an excellent probe into quantum states and dynamics, and have paved the way for the first generation of quantum technologies. But the designer platforms face an important challenge as they cannot be completely isolated from noisy environments. Remarkably, however, engineered dissipation can even create entangled quantum states. Such engineering becomes possible in driven-dissipative systems where an external drive, such as laser, competes with dissipation due to the coupling to the environment. We aim to significantly expand our fundamental understanding of large-scale driven-dissipative systems and provide a basis for their applications. Our goals in the proposal titled “Driven-dissipative architectures: New routes to quantum phases and technologies” are twofold. On one hand, we will investigate the emergent quantum phases of matter in the context of driven-dissipative systems. In particular, we will determine phases and phase transitions that are unique to these nonequilibrium platforms. On the other hand, we will identify the challenges and opportunities of driven-dissipative systems in applications to quantum information science and technologies. This is particularly timely in the era of noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices where noise is an integral part of the leading architectures of quantum information.
