Open driven quantum systems have defined a powerful paradigm of nonequilibrium phases and phase transitions; however, quantum phase transitions are generically not expected in this setting due to the decohering effect of dissipation. In…
We use high-order cumulants to investigate the Lee-Yang zeros of generating functions of dynamical observables in open quantum systems. At long times the generating functions take on a large deviation form with singularities of the…

We study the critical behavior for inhomogeneous versions of the Curie-Weiss model, where the coupling constant $J_{ij}(\beta)$ for the edge $ij$ on the complete graph is given by $J_{ij}(\beta)=\beta w_iw_j/(\sum_{k\in[N]}w_k)$. We call…

We study the fluctuations of time-additive random observables in the stochastic dynamics of a system of $N$ non-interacting Ising spins. We mainly consider the case of all-to-all dynamics where transitions are possible between any two spin…
The theoretical treatment of quasi-periodically driven quantum systems is complicated by the inapplicability of the Floquet theorem, which requires strict periodicity. In this work we consider a quantum system driven by a bi-harmonic…
Quantum critical (QC) phase transitions generally lead to the absence of quasiparticles. The resulting correlated quantum fluid, when thermally excited, displays rich universal dynamics. We establish non-perturbative constraints on the…
We introduce the functional field integral approach to study the statistics of quantum work under nonequilibrium conditions and derive the general formalism for a bilinear Hamiltonian with arbitrary time dependence. The method is then…
We study transitions between distinct phases of one-dimensional periodically driven (Floquet) systems. We argue that these are generically controlled by infinite-randomness fixed points of a strong-disorder renormalization group procedure.…
We investigate the work fluctuations in an overdamped non-equilibrium process that is stopped at a stochastic time. The latter is characterized by a first passage event that marks the completion of the non-equilibrium process. In…
Quantum simulations are traditionally confined to exploring dynamics starting from unentangled or low-entanglement states due to severe bottlenecks in protocol design, hardware performance, and classical verification. Here, we report the…
Dynamical phase transition in quantum many body systems is usually studied by taking it in the ground state and then quenching a parameter to a new value. We investigate here the dynamics when one performs the time evolution of a generic…
In slowly driven classical systems, work is a stochastic quantity and its probability distribution is known to satisfy the work fluctuation-dissipation relation, which states that the mean and variance of the dissipated work are linearly…
We determine the asymptotic forms of work distributions at arbitrary times $T$, in a class of driven stochastic systems using a theory developed by Engel and Nickelsen (EN theory) (arXiv:1102.4505v1 [cond-mat.stat-mech]), which is based on…
