Flat bands are an ideal environment to realize unconventional electronic phases. Here, we show that fermionic systems with dissipation governed by a Bloch Lindbladian can dispersionless for sufficiently strong coupling appropriately engineered bath. These flat emerge in "dark space" of the system-environment and long-lived virtue symmetry protection from dissipation. We exhibit robustness this ...

Starting from the most general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics—i.e. a thermodynamically consistent nonautonomous stochastic dynamics describing systems in contact with several reservoirs—, we de€ne a procedure to identify the conservative and the minimal set of nonconservative contributions in the entropy production. Œe former is expressed as the di‚erence between changes caused by tim...

The transient time correlation function is a standard method for measuring transport properties in simulations. It represents a special case of a more general theorem, the dissipation theorem, that indirectly calculates phase function averages though the use of the dissipation function. These indirect averages often have significantly less statistical error than direct averages. Recently, it ha...

The principal obstacle to quantum information processing with many qubits is decoherence. One source of decoherence is spontaneous emission which causes loss of energy and information. Inability to control system parameters with high precision is another possible source of error. As a solution we propose quantum computing experiments using dissipation based on an environment-induced quantum Zen...

The mechanisms by which sensible heat fluxes (SHFs) alter cold pool characteristics and dissipation rates are investigated in this study using idealized two-dimensional numerical simulations and an environment representative of daytime, dry, continental conditions. Simulations are performed with no SHFs, SHFs calculated using a bulk formula, and constant SHFs for model resolutions with horizont...

Reducing the power dissipation of parallel multipliers is important in the design of digital signal processing systems. In many of these systems, the products of parallel multipliers are rounded to avoid growth in word size. The power dissipation and area of rounded parallel multipliers can be signiicantly reduced by a technique known as truncated multiplication. With this technique, the least ...

The combined effect of a dissipative fluid and quintessence energy can simultaneously drive an accelerated expansion phase at the present time and solve the coincidence problem of our current Universe. A solution compatible with the observed cosmic acceleration is succinctly presented.

We summarise the recent progress of a project to determine physical conditions in the jets of low-luminosity (FR I) radio galaxies. We model the jets as intrinsically symmetrical, relativistic, decelerating flows. By fitting to deep, high-resolution VLA images in total intensity and linear polarization, we have been able to derive for the first time the three-dimensional distributions of veloci...
