Phase transitions to absorbing states are among the simplest examples of critical phenomena out of equilibrium. The characteristic feature of these models is the presence of a fluctuationless configuration which the dynamics cannot leave,…

Quantum mechanics allows processes to be superposed, leading to a genuinely quantum lack of causal structure. For example, the process known as the quantum switch applies two operations ${\cal A}$ and ${\cal B}$ in a superposition of the…

We inspect signatures of dynamical quantum phase transitions driven by two types of quenches acting on a correlated quantum dot embedded between superconducting and metallic reservoirs. Under stationary conditions the proximity induced…

We predict that the spin-transfer, $T_{i,||}$, and field-like, $T_{i,\bot}$, components of the {\it local} spin torque are dramatically enhanced in double-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions. The {\it spin-mixing} enhancement is due to the…
