Asymptotics of repeated interaction quantum systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: A quantum system s interacts in a successive way with elements ee of a chain of identical independent quantum subsystems. Each interaction lasts for a duration au and is governed by a fixed coupling between s and ee. We show that the system, initially in any state close to a reference state, approaches a {it repeated interaction asymptotic state} in the limit of large times. This state is au--periodic in time and does not depend on the initial state. If the reference state is chosen so that s and ee are individually in equilibrium at positive temperatures, then the repeated interaction asymptotic state satisfies an average second law of thermodynamics.
