Abstract

The transfer of energy through a network of nodes is fundamental to both how nature and current technology operates. Traditionally we think of the nodes in a network being coupled to channels that connect them and then energy is passed from node to channel to node until it reaches its targeted site. Here we introduce an alternate approach to this where our channels are replaced by collective environments (or actually reservoirs) which interact with pairs of nodes. We show how energy initially located at a specific node can arrive at a target node - even though that environment may be at zero temperate. Further we show that such a migration occurs on much faster time scales than the damping rate associated with a single spin coupled to the reservoir. Our approach shows the power of being able to tailor both the system & environment and the symmetries associated with them to provide new directions for future quantum technologies.
