The workshop will focus on dissipative state preparation as a route to preparing complex quantum states using engineered open-system dynamics. It will bring together researchers working on open quantum systems, quantum algorithms, anomalous thermalization, and experimental implementations in digital and analog platforms.
Key questions include when dissipative protocols can offer advantages over purely coherent control, which currently accessible platforms may enable the preparation of states that are difficult to reach unitarily, how adaptive dynamics based on measurement and feedback can accelerate preparation, and what fundamental limitations arise from locality and Lieb-Robinson-type bounds.
The workshop will combine invited talks with informal working sessions and scientific exchange.
