Here, we investigate to what extent coupling to a large thermal reservoir makes stabilisation of a non-trivial steady state possible. To this end, we model both the system and the reservoir as classical spin chains where driving is applied through a rotating magnetic field, and simulate the Hamiltonian dynamics of this setup. We find that the intuitive limits of infinite and vanishing frequency, where the system dynamics is governed by the average and the instantaneous Hamiltonian, respectively, can be smoothly extended into entire regimes separated only by a small crossover region. At high frequencies, the driven system stroboscopically attains a Floquet-type Gibbs state at the reservoir temperature. At low frequencies, a synchronised Gibbs state emerges, whose temperature may depart significantly from that of the reservoir. Although our analysis in some parts relies on the specific properties our setup, we argue that much of its phenomenology should be generic for a large class of systems.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.08996v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.08996v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"reservoir-induced-stabilisation-of-a-1","repo_url":"https://github.com/tveness/spinchain-papers","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
