Dissipative preparation of Laughlin-like states
Abstract
Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states are a central paradigm of strongly correlated quantum matter and a key platform for topological quantum computation. Here, we propose a purely dissipative protocol based on local loss and pump channels for preparing Laughlin-like states at filling $1/3$, with a possible extension to other $1/M$ filling states. We show that the Laughlin-like state is the exact unique steady state of the Lindbladian under open boundary conditions. Finite-size analysis of the Lindbladian gap suggests efficient dissipative preparation over the system sizes and parameter regime considered. We further demonstrate adiabatic pumping of a Laughlin-like state through slow modulation of the pump channels during the evolution. Our work opens a feasible route to preparing and manipulating FQH states on near-term quantum simulators.
