Thesis defense of Mohsen Yarmohammadi
behavior in driven-dissipative quantum systems has triggered considerable interest in recent times. This thesis is devoted to the analysis of dynamics of a dimerized spin chain model which is driven out-ofequilibrium [...] bath for both phonon and spin sectors in the driven coupled spin-lattice system. We approach this thesis by exploring how the non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) are created, controlled, and preserved …
