Abstract
We investigate the nonstationary phenomenon in a tripartite spin-1/2 system in the collision model (CM) framework. After introducing the dissipation through the system-environment collision for both Markovian and non-Markovian cases, we find the emergence of long-time oscillation in the dynamics of the system and the synchronization among subsystems. We connect the CM description and the quantum master equation in the continuous-time limit and explain the existence of the stable oscillation by means of Liouvillian spectrum analysis. We investigate the thermodynamics of persistent oscillations in our CM in both Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. In addition, we find that the imperfection of collective dissipation can be compensated by the randomness of the interaction sequence in our CM.
