Reservoir engineering using Rydberg atoms — •David W. Schönleber, Christopher D. B. Bentley, and Alexander Eisfeld — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme, 01187 Dresden

We apply reservoir engineering to construct a thermal environment with controllable temperature in an ultracold atomic Rydberg system [1]. A Boltzmann distribution of the system's eigenstates is produced by optically driving a small environment of ultracold atoms, which is coupled to a photonic continuum through spontaneous emission. This technique provides a useful tool for quantum simulation of both equilibrium dynamics and dynamics coupled to a thermal environment. Additionally, we demonstrate that pure eigenstates, such as Bell states, can be prepared in the Rydberg atomic system using this method.
