Sympathetic Cooling of Quantum Simulators — •Meghana Raghunandan¹, Fabian Wolf², Christian Ospelkaus^2,3, Piet O.

We discuss the possibility of maximizing the cooling of a quantum simulator by controlling the system-environment coupling such that the system is driven into the ground state. We numerically solve the quantum master equation for Ising and Heisenberg chains consisting of N spins coupled to a radiation field. We maximize the cooling by finding the dependence of the effective rate of transitions of the various excited states into the ground state. We show that adding a single dissipative qubit already results in efficient cooling which is robust against decoherences.
