Reverse quantum aging: Restoring rhythmicity from quantum aging state
Abstract
Quantum aging transition has recently been reported, whereby the oscillatory dynamics of a network of globally coupled quantum self-sustained oscillators is degraded sharply when the fraction of inactive nodes exceeds a critical value. Here we explore the reverse process: the revival of rhythmic dynamics from an aged state in a quantum oscillator network by introducing a controlled incoherent single-boson pumping channel. Using a self-consistent quantum master equation in the Lindblad form for globally coupled active--inactive quantum Stuart--Landau oscillators, we show that increasing the pumping strength progressively suppresses the aging transition and eventually eliminates it, restoring rhythmicity even when all oscillators are inactive. Remarkably, complete compensation of the coupling-induced dissipative loss is not required; a substantially weaker pumping strength is sufficient to eliminate the aging transition. We show that the revival is governed by a redistribution of the Fock-state population of the inactive oscillators toward higher-occupation states. Our results establish controlled incoherent pumping as an effective mechanism for restoring dynamical robustness in quantum oscillator networks.
