Full decoherence induced by local fields in open spin chains with strong boundary couplings

Vladislav Popkov (1,6); Mario Salerno (2); Roberto Livi (1,3,4,5)

We investigate an open XYZ spin-1/2 chain driven out of equilibrium by boundary reservoirs targeting different spin orientations, aligned along the principal axes of anisotropy. We show that by tuning local magnetic fields, applied to spins at sites near the boundaries, one can change any nonequilibrium steady state to a fully uncorrelated Gibbsian state at infinite temperature. This phenomenon occurs for strong boundary coupling and on a critical manifold in the space of the fields amplitudes. The structure of this manifold depends on the anisotropy degree of the model and on the parity of the chain size.
