Tuning the quantum Mpemba effect in an isolated system by initial-state engineering
We investigate the quantum Mpemba effect (QME) in isolated, non-integrable quantum systems, where relaxation dynamics depend on structure of the initial states. By analyzing the distribution of initial states across symmetrical subspaces, we identify a tunable mechanism that influences the emergence of QME, showing faster relaxation from certain out-of-equilibrium states. Additionally, we propose an experimentally realizable quantum circuit, which requires no complex controls on quantum simulator platforms and serves to verify our theoretical predictions. These results establish symmetry-resolved state engineering as a practical tool for manipulating non-equilibrium quantum dynamics.
