Abstract
In this paper we propose a continuous-time, dissipative Markov dynamics that asymptotically drives a network of n-dimensional quantum systems to the set of states that are invariant under the action of the subsystem permutation group. The Lindblad-type generator of the dynamics is built with two-body subsystem swap operators, thus satisfying locality constraints, and preserve symmetric observables. The potential use of the proposed generator in combination with local control and measurement actions is illustrated with two applications: the generation of a global pure state and the estimation of the network size.
